Those messages turn to nothing in a few light years.

Distortion is a huge thing. The reality it, most of our signals turn to mush as they expand.

Also they haven't expanded much- Does anyone have that image that shows how far our signals have gone? They use a tiny blue dot on the surface of a galaxy.

Found it. See? It means dick.

So when is the next big invention/technological breakthrough people will feel they can't live with out?

Last one seems to be the internet. It's been a long time since something new came around,Why?

Whats do you think the next candidate is?

How the fuck is this picture right?

Hasn't radio only been around 118 years, been woefully underpowered?

Forget that ... isn't it just unintelligible static in the background of space now considering terrestrial transmitters are still garbage and omnidirectional?

I remember watching a SETI online lecture (yes I realize anyone who has standards just closed this thread) and I was under the impression it would take observers huge planet sized telescopes to even discern a terrestrial broadcast from background noise.
