This picture will destroy every Fermi Paradox guys.

>> No.12529985

Except "Fermi Paradox" isn't about radio signals. It's about how quickly (in astronomical terms) you could colonize the whole galaxy.

This picture shows that we, Humans, can't see shit with our technology.

No, it means aliens cannot hear us yet

Thanks. I wonder how Fermi will ever recover.

That's the point, I destroyed his paradox with this picture

I would already destroy every single one of their arguments if I cared to share. One day op, one day you will see

No, an alien civilization that is millions of years old would have sent signals that would have already reached us

Of course, everyone that insists upon this forgets the inverse square law.

Inverse square law also affects the light from the stars, yet we can see them with our eyes
Our radio telescopes are a lot more sensitive, they would have no problem hearing those transmissions if they existed

This is your clue. This is the logical impetus you have failed to realize. In order for a signal to propagate with sufficient strength that it is easily received, one needs power output in line with solar emission, or non-negligible fractions thereof.

>>12530463
A civilization that would deploy means of action as energy intensive as making their star blink in morse code for everyone to see could never exist because it would paradoxically be too smart and too dumb to exists.

>The greatest challenge is the sheer size of the radio search needed to look for signals (effectively spanning the entire observable universe), the limited amount of resources committed to SETI, and the sensitivity of modern instruments. SETI estimates, for instance, that with a radio telescope as sensitive as the Arecibo Observatory, Earth's television and radio broadcasts would only be detectable at distances up to 0.3 light-years, less than 1/10 the distance to the nearest star.

>> No.12530666

Is there something more laughable than "listening" to the stars with 5 years worth of grants/budget?
Astronomers you allow this shit to happen are by definition shit astronomers or utopists or both, because they don't even conceive the gargantuesque scope of space and time they pretend to be studying.
