Or they haven't discovered us yet. Broadcasting our position into space should be a punishable offense.
Maybe there's an upside to putting niggers in every commercial and TV show. They'll have already learned to avoid the 'groid.
can't upvoat so I lol
We don't have to "broadcast to outerspace". That doesn't even make sense. Literally all our EM goes out into space. Not to mention all the visible light from street lamps. Nuclear explosions. Exotic particles created by atom smashers.
Advanced life is inherently visible.
Omnidirectional broadcast and one that's directed at a target are very different things. The EM we broadcast can only be detected very close to us. Unless we expect to find spacefaring aliens within a few dozens or hundreds of light years, our EM bleed isn't a big deal.
I was thinking of the plaques detailing our position in the universe on explorer spacecrafts and the intentionally sent interstellar radio message Arecibo. I was not referring to street lamps or everyday radiowaves.
Exotic particles created by atom smashers.
Those particles decay very quickly, and such collisions are occurring constantly from cosmic radiation. The energies involves are extremely tiny. The only reason we need those accelerators is to control exactly what type of collision happens.
