by examining suns
luci no you can't
exaggeration
Radio signals decay rapidly beyond the sun's heliosphere
but you can from very far away determine locations where habitable worlds are possible
Not to mention the cosmic tide of radiation heavily interfering with them
you want to know the simplest and most logical solution to the Fermi Paradox?
of course the catch is aliens of a non carbon base would find fdifferent worlds habitable
space itself
Sure
space is freakin big
I'm open to solutions
Absolutely
the first radio broadcast was a little over 50-60 years ago iirc
They have the drake equation taking that in account when iterating the fermi paradox tho
if you actually look at a radius of 50 lightyears around our solar system, it's nothing
the radio was invented pre wwi wasnt it
Actually
it's a mere speck in the galaxy
1937) developed, demonstrated and marketed the first successful long-distance wireless telegraph and in 1901 broadcast the first transatlantic radio signa
Theres plenty of potential habitable planets in close proximity but not sure if ots beyond the range of 50 light years
ya but when did they send the message they meant for to reach aliens?
I can't remember
Or where radio signals decay into background noise because of background cosmic radiation
light is eternal
oooooo
for all you know background radiation is just the interstellar radio traffic of a more advanced civilization
light still decays and redshifts
Could be there in it
But we wont pick it up just yet
you dont know
you cant know
but if that were true
how would we figure that out
well we could already pick it up
its not like we'd be able to recognize an alien transmission
again
space is freakin big
Not being able to differentiate
Yeah
