doh, my badagain, the distance factor means it takes a very long time for those signals to get from point A to point B
and radio waves do not move at the speed of light
i dont remember how far away the closes C class star is from us, but i think its over 100 LY
Radio travels at the speed of light in space.
But I agree that the sheer distance such communication has to travel is silly long and takes forever.
wow, only 27 LY?again, the distance factor means it takes a very long time for those signals to get from point A to point B

CV22.34, at 27 LY distant.

hmmm then if there is intelligent life on that one, they should have received at least some radio or tv signals by now

Then why have we not been contacted?
and casey kasumwow, only 27 LY?CV22.34, at 27 LY distant.

Yes.
Since radio travels at the SoL, and since radio was started 108 years ago. Our entire civilization has been broadcasted out to 108 LYs. That has reached 8 stars like our sun. Those, as we know it, have planets but it is unconfirmed what type panets they are. Yet.
The downside of is this means they have received untold episodes of Bonanza.

I suspect that there is life all over the place in various states of development.
However those at our stage of development are probably rather rare.
And I suspect that a LOT of life that does reach our stage of development doesn't suvive long enough to reach mush more advanced stages of development, either.
So if there are adcanced species who have reached the point where they could travel though time and space, and if they know that we exist, I also don't doubt that they are smart enough to understand that we need to SAVE OURSELVES before we will be ready to make contact with more advanced civilizations.
AFter all, if a species is NOT smart enough to handle one planet well enough to keep itself alive, why on earth would you want those primatives sharing the universe with those that were intelligent enough to get past this critical junction in species development?
Would YOU supply savages with the advanced technology to ruin your neighborhood?
Given the vastness of space, I'd say it is more than likely that life exists elsewhere.
I have no math or science skills to stand on, Robert, but if I were betting, I'd put $5 on "we are alone". It is certainly possible we are not, but what are the odds that if things are as you describe (no doubt you're correct), the Earth is the most advanced planet and the occupants of none of the others have bothered to reach out and touch us?
I view ET the same way I do ghosts: could be, but doesn't seem terribly likely.
BTW, is there or isn't there evidence of life on Mars in the distant past?
