More likely they will treat us as bugs if they are more advanced, and will be totally uninteresting if they are even 50 years behind. Our modern modulation systems look like white noise, somebody 50 years ago would have dismissed a present day DVB-T transmission as noise. And forget about decoding. OK, scam... how about 'overly optimistic'. But I will buy the DVD if the movies are good:-) Imagine the time window, in that link say 1000 stars, then how many habitable planets around those, then this time window 'of interest', as above of about say 50 years, in the millions of years those few planets (if any) existed, zilch. Safe bet.

(your contributions are too low). See my reply to J.Larkin. An idiot is somebody who calculates the experiment will not work, and then tries it anyways. You probably do not know calculus, or maybe you look or expect liberation by finding 'aliens', liberation is not in 'aliens', it is in yourself. False hope always has believers, it is hard to have to admit you have been suckered, better do it now, and spend your CPU cycles on something that is more fun. Greener too; saves electrickity, stops global warming (another believers tale). Osama
