Really? So why havent we picked up any radio signals? microwaves?

The answer is because the universe is so big, dummy.

never mind the vast expanse of time involved. Entire worlds with electromagnetic transmissions could have come and gone before we even invented a receiver.

Unless static noise is the sound of the mass universal hub being projected all at once, I dont see why we havent picked up any radiowave signals

The universe is so big that signal degrade into static by the time they get anywhere someone can hear them. Also space is as noisy as a jungle.

youtu.be/IQL53eQ0cNA

Our own radio signals have only gone so far. Not even far enough to reach other planets in other solar systems.

>humans
>intelligent

but dont they move at the speed of light?

Because the only things we're using, according to you, are radios and microwaves.
Why would "they" be limited to such?

So, Center of the Universe much?

The speed of light is only so fast. It's fast, but not infinitely fast.

>but dont they move at the speed of light?
Yes.

The speed of light is incredibly slow when associated with interstellar distances.

>Are white people and east asians the only intelligent life that exists?

fixed. and yes

>people don't live 100 miles way from me because I can't hear them scream

2.5 million light years

Furthermore, it's ignorant to think that other civilizations would have progressed the same as we have. Maybe they never even invented radio. Maybe they made something worse. Maybe something better.

>billions of light years in the observable universe
>we've had the technology to detect signals for less than 200 years

HURR WHY HAVEN'T WE FOUND ANYTHING?

Why would an advanced species communicate across the cosomos using such slow and primitive means? We've yet to invent the technology they use to communicate.

What ? The Milky Way is like 100,000 LY across. There isn't another galaxy closer than that, unless we were colliding.

Meanwhile, the animation in this webm is moving much faster than the speed of light, but it still is moving quite slowly, all things considered.

We might have found a lost civilization. It's a bit post apocalyptic there.

Soon you will know

No, we are surrounded by multitudes of inter dimensional Ayyliums. They travel through vibration, sound, frequency, and technology. You can see them when taking psychedelics, they are the geometry.

The entire series of Star Trek takes place within the Milky Way Galaxy, according to its writers.

Incorrect

>mexican intellectual

Speed of Memes is faster.

Correct.
See The animation here is moving so much faster than the speed of light, but the animation is still relatively slowly, compared with the distances that need to be traveled to get to the farther reaches of the observable universe.

You really, really have no clue as to the size of the universe we live in.
Stop posting.

Nope. AYYYs are blocking communications in and out of our star system because we are a very special system and need to be babysat for a little bit longer.

But those endless screams that carry on forever and have done so for billions of years are silent.
Space is a vacuum.

There are probably aliens out there using radio, but they're most likely only talking to each other.

Even our emissions are becoming harder and harder to detect because we're moving from wasteful omnidirectional, high-powered broadcasts to low-powered directional ones for communication. Why would a much more advanced race send signals to a part of the galaxy that they're not sure will respond at all?

Do you understand how vast the universe is?

Actually, silly question: it's literally incomprehensible how vast it is.

Just as an example:

The Milky Way Galaxy contains an estimated 200 billion stars -- just this galaxy.

Do you know how long it would take just to count to 1 billion? If you started from 0, and every number took 1 second to recite, it would take you over 30 years just to count to 1 billion.

And there are millions of more galaxies containing billions more stars.

Man hasn't even stepped foot on Mars and you're asking why we haven't come into contact with other life in the universe.

I'm not saying there is/isn't life out there, but you literally cannot comprehend the size of the universe; so, don't jump to conclusions.

We've already had certain Ayyliums try to invade us throughout history. They are already here.

This is an /x/ tier post OP, i suggest you post there.

Look at how far this is.

God damn sub 120IQ

Intelligent life may be in it's "very young" stage in the observable Universe. Its 200 billion galaxies show a clear potential to continue on as we see them today for hundreds of billions of years, if not much longer. Because planets and life are so young in our Universe, says Harvard's Dimitar Sasselov, perhaps "the human species are not late comers to the party. We may be among the early ones."


Hello fellow elder gods.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andromeda_Galaxy

Am I being memed?

We're just crawling out of the dark ages now, the earth went through a massive nuclear war/nuclear winter. We nuked Nibriu/Planet X when the Annukani Reptoids tried consuming us whole through their fucking Nephillim bastardized hybrids.

Because the strenght of the signal decreases following the inverse square law.

If electromagnetic waves are far enough, they can't be distinguished from background noise.

It's also the reason Andromeda on the sky is so huge, but you can't see it.

Thus the asteroid belt

nice webm

This is a possibility as well, though I doubt it.

Electromagnetic waves move at the speed of light. The observable universe is thousands of lightyears across. It is also billions of years old.

Assuming our transmission doesn't get dispersed, blocked or otherwise mangled on its journey it still needs to be aimed at a planet that not only has life but has life advanced enough and capable of receiving the transmission when it gets there several thousand years after we've sent it.

The question of if life does or doesn't exist out there is meaningless because we'll never, ever encounter it anyway. The odds of us finding life is about as remote as the odds of us being the only form of life in the universe.

You see this weird asshole hoverhanding Miss Milky? That's our neighbor.

Technically, no person knows the size. No, not one.

...

Look inward.

Entities are far more easy to contact by learning astral projection than spending trillions on building giant spaceships.


Unlike demonic elites,. contact "angels" though. Or higher plane entities.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wow!_signal

That should answer your question, OP. The answer is yes, we have received ayylmao communications from the globular cluster M55.

Yeah but the radio signals should have hit earth by now if one of the neighboring planets had life


lets face it, we are the first

We've also received a signal from a much closer source.

strangesounds.org/2014/03/is-this-the-new-alien-wow-signal-seti-has-recently-detected-a-new-unexplained-strange-sound.html

I don't know if this is a good or bad thing

Not only that but it takes place in a small portion of the Galaxy. And even with their absurdly fast warp drive it would still take about a year to cross just federation space

WOW...... its fucking nothing!


Probably picked up an exploding supernova

Does this weird asshole have a name ? Or are you talking about the Magellanic clouds ?

We are the first, is a great opportunity

They did have the other quadrants of the galaxy in play for DS9 and Voyager. But those were wormhole gimmicks and other niggertech.

The universe is big and humans haven't invented anything that can at least remotely travel the speed of light.
Light is fast, yes but it's slow compared to the vastness of space, the star you saw with your telescope might have already exploded and the what you're seeing is the image of of some millions of years ago.

Yes see

The sad thing is that there very well be quite some planets with life on them, but on all those not a single life form is intelligent enough to develop like ours

We only happened because of changes in the environment (apparently) which forced us to stand upright, giving support for larger brains, having hands suddenly free for using tools and because we happened to be social creatures that work together and therefore could form civilizations.

Life on other planets might just be stuck with something like dinosaurs.

warosu.org/sci/thread/S8241820

This thread is an interesting read

we're the only ones stupid enough to broadcast. dark forest theory breh.

Tough to say if intelligent life exists at the same time as us, but the universe is old enough that it's probably existed many times in the past.

Only if they hit while we have been listening which is an extremely tight window

what role do specific genetic lineages play in the overall progress of earth to a type 1 civilization? if i don't pass on my genes, what am i depriving the future world of, if anything? since there is an instinct to reproduce, is going against that an error or sin against nature?

when we discuss possible alien life and advanced civilizations, the idea seems to be that we as a species must strive to reach that level, even if we individually do not experience it, therefore we keep the line going and reproduce.

but why is this endless striving preferable to planetary suicide? to me the idea of being wiped out is almost orgasmic. becoming... nothing. dying is going to be a fucking wild experience m8s.

Yeah I'm just talking about the standard alpha quadrant stuff

We're getting in on the ground floor, Jerry!

>Really? So why havent we picked up any radio signals? microwaves?

You don't understand just how massive the universe is, do you?

Again, you're assuming another civilization even invented radio. How the hell do you know what a civilization on another planet would develop?

Not necessary. The universe was a pretty fucked up place unsuitable for life for the first several billion years. It's actually not to unreasonable to assume we're among the first if not the first intelligent life in the universe and I think it's likely we're actually the most advanced so far.

Because not everyone is Nihilismfag

Progress is the only way to feel satisfied, and also having children is selfish

>lets face it, we are the first
Pretty unlikely, all things considering. Human civilization, life on Earth, and even Earth itself is pretty young compared to a good chunk of the universe. Unless we're special (which we're probably not), life's had 12 billion years to fucking form elsewhere in the universe. There could unironically be ayy lmao civilizations out there older than the earth still space niggering around even today.

Understand that a species can eventually achieve technological mastery that defies our understanding of the universe itself. Technology builds on technology which further is built into the development of the species until a technological "escape velocity" is achieved and the organism can move past the constraints of biology. Design the drug to make you smarter to design a better drug until you are smart enough to design machines to think for you and eventually integrate those machines into the fabric of your DNA much like the mitochondria in our cells. At this point, achievements become possible that to the previous organism seemed beyond all possibility. Life times in our case would no longer be measured in 70 or so years, but rather millions of years or longer. Technology culminates with both the capacity to alter the properties of the universe that organism is a part of, faster than light travel for example, ,exiting the universe to explore the multi-verse, or designing new universes entirely within this one. God as we believe it to exist, is a species that achieved this level of sophistication and wrote its existence onto our subconscious perception of the universe by traveling through time and altering the history of the universe to benefit themselves even further. This belief in them as Gods is justified because for all intents and purposes they are Gods capable of time travel, altering the laws of physics, etc. If any of them remain in this universe they are dormant, having achieved a level of consciousness beyond our current comprehension or they have left the universe entirely to explore others in the way that our species once set out to discover new lands. This leaves the lesser races, of which there are many, to their own devices to one day achieve a similar level of advancement which would make them cease to be, in our case, homo sapiens, and become a member of this advanced species; the end point of evolution within this universe. The cosmic pill.

Maybe other forms of intelligent life won't talk to us because our planet is full of niggers.

Oh, no, not another dwarf believer ?!?

Early in the universe but more than halfway through the Earth's time of habitability; by the time ayyliams find Earth it'll look like Mars.

Even if we assume that intelligent life evolved in another galaxy billions of years ago so their radio waves would be reaching us, the signal would be undetectable.

There was a study like a year back where they were looking for massive radiation emissions that could be linked to the idea of a massively advanced race that's populated its entire galaxy and would be producing huge amount of chatter and would be detectable on that scale. Didn't find anything, though. Of course, there's no law that an advanced race would have to populate its entire galaxy. Seems more likely to me that any advanced race would eventually become mechanical and forego any major proliferation, assuming whatever they originally were had that instinct in the first place.

what the fuck bro?

>Are humans the only intelligent life that exists?

What leads you to the conclusion that humans are intelligent life?

Dwarves are people too

Humans are the highest form of intelligent life, yes.

also most "people" on Earth aren't humans.

You got it backwards, most humans on Earth aren't people.

Has anybody checked out these videos ? Pretty great explanations.
