What if extraterrestrial observers called, but nobody heard
Hamilton, Canada (SPX) Mar 02, 2016
As scientists step up their search for other life in the universe, two astrophysicists are proposing a way to make sure we don't miss the signal if extraterrestrial observers try to contact us first. Rene Heller and Ralph Pudritz say the best chance for us finding a signal from beyond is to presume that extraterrestrial observers are using the same methods to search for us that we are using to search for life beyond Earth. Here on Earth, space researchers are focusing most of their search ef ... read more
