We keep finding things like this, but it is down-played all the time by the media and government organisations, if questioned.
Why do we keep letting them hide the truth?

Depending on which values for the variables you use there's either one intelligent civilization in the whole universe or 100 billion in our galaxy alone, some values are fairly well known, imo there's probably 10000 civilizations around right now. Still leaves open the big question - why hasnt the galaxy been converted into dyson spheres and shells yet?

No. The equation seems solid, but several of the variables are basically just guesses. The errors compound each other, so you can arrive anywhere between "we are alone" and "there's thousands of civilizations in our galaxy" after plug and chug.

>this meme again
The very fucking second you send out one single radio broadcast, the cat is out of the bag, period.
You have been exposed and can never go back into hiding ever again, and anyone more advanced than you that would be capable of firing a RKM at your planet can do so if they so desired it.
Why would an alien species decide to kill off sentient life if they're more advanced than it
going off radio signals, if this 11 light year away species had the technology to detect us, they would have been watching us since we had fucking steam ships,
We would be of absolutely no threat to them whatsoever, and with technological advancement seeming to accelerate with time, would never become a threat
the mere fact that they're technologically advanced at all means they have a value for knowledge, and preserving that knowledge, since not having that trait would result in them staying as rock banging primitives forever, never contemplating writing things down, so killing off another species that could have knowledge to share and catalog would be completely asinine to everyone, and would not be considered by anyone of authority in the alien government or military

>>9040765
In other words, the equation is worthless.

we are separated by physical and cultural distance. We could know 100% that they're benevolent, but we can't know if they know that we know this on the scales we are talking about. So they will be suspicious of our intentions because we may think them malicious. It makes more sense to strike first if a civilization knows it's been discovered

depending on distance, and probability
if a species is close enough that the missile would work and stop them from going space fairing, they're probably close enough that there would be plenty of other nearby races watching them do the act
if you are far away, that sublight projectile will take so fucking long to reach the target, that the intended victims would be halfway done a dyson swarm by the time you blow their planet up, and by then, they might have edited the orbital speed and tilt of their world, making the missile miss it completely, but allowing the victim to know exactly where the fuck it came from

by firing, either every single race that previously chose not to commit genocide, would immediate bomb the shit out of you because you just made yourself into a massive threat to everyone with your willingness to genocide those that had done you no ill, or your intended target survives and comes to claim some scalps for that attempted murder
thus, killing aliens as they are found just fucks you over, because everything you do is before a live audience, and they might not like the show if you're a faggot

Attenuation ensures nothing you send out will reach anyone with any bit of recognizably let alone with any actual data left. You'd need to turn the sun into a giant signal light were you could turn it "off" and "on" in the direction you want to send a signal via it's shadow. Nothing else will be powerful enough to reach anything of significance.

The media in fact tend to over-play it, because "muh aliums" sells papers.

They are small and cool, and emit relatively little energy on a steady basis -- but they do tend to bust ut with a bing and a bang and a boom intermittently.

This is compounded by the fact that they are low-mass, so any planet close enough to be warmed by them into Goldilocks conditions is also going to be close to the fireworks.

>>9040913
>implying an advanced civilisation would fail to account for survivors
It doesn't make sense since they've already seen those guys reach the space.

>>9040770
The equation is not totally worthless -- or at least, it may not be worthless forever. We've begun to understand what the "real universe" value of a few of the variables are, and they are comfortingly large, for those who hope for aliums.

There are still several key variables where we have no freaking idea what the value will turn out to be. If any one f them is very low, we're likely to be, for all practical purposes,alone -- detectable life would be so rare that there would likely be none near enough to us in space and time for us to ever find them. If they all are big enough, we may find them, unless they make efforts not to be found or our assumptions about what to look for are way off.

Vid on the matter:

>>9041031
Maybe they realized their mistake too late/the RKM was going to fast to be overtaken by a message?

Maybe there wasn't any chance of escape or salvation according to the aliums predictions?

Apparently the signal occured in such a way that would make it unlikely to have been caused by a satellite, the satelite would have to have been moving very slowly. If it was caused by a satelite it would have to be in a "high earth orbit" most of the satelites that could cause a signal like this are in low earth orbit.

>>9041031
Well, it's traveling at 1/4th ("2/8th" - wtf man?), of the speed of light, and accelerating to "nearly" the speed of light, so there is no way to "escape" it, and no way to stop it, really. The best you could do is warn them it's coming and say "Oops, our bad." - gonna wipe out the inner solar system pretty much no matter what. Depending on how "near" "nearly the speed of light" is and how quickly it reaches that speed, the warning may arrive a matter of months before impact - or minutes.

Still, bit of a plot hole. Coulda mention some aliums tried to warn them, which might explain the number of survivors in the outer colonies, without changing the outcome of the story.

As HFY science fails go, however, it's pretty minor.

Could they watch our TV shows from Ross 128?

>>9043151
Probs not. You need a very strong and focused signal to get it out 11 light years. If they did it would be 2006 TV. Dexster would just be airing so good for them.

>>9043151
>11 ly
Well they should've had access to all the best Star Treks if they had pointed their telescopes our way in time and those signals can travel well enough unimpeded. But then again there's probably nothing there and if they are they'd have to be more advanced than us to be monitoring and processing a significant portion of their skies. Assuming all those things then yes.

>>9043151
You can't even pick up our TV shows from Jupiter. That was one of the major science fails in Contact - inverse square is a bitch.

I guess this pic is incorrect then..

>>9043273
Yes, though it's certainly a fun thought.

Only the active SETI broadcasts can be detected from outside the solar system, and they are directed, so only by those solar systems they are directed towards, and most of those have a very limited reach as well (in addition to being all under 50 years old).

Similarly, we aren't going to pick up any broadcasts from any alien civilizations unless they are deliberately aimed at us. (And it seems unlikely that one would try aiming such messages out to planets in this sparsely populated rim of the galaxy - better to try your luck somewhere you could cover a reasonable number of opportunities.)

At best, very nearby neighbors might notice a planet in the habitable zone with some tell-tale chemical markers in its light bands indicating the possible presence industry, though they'd have to have quite a bit better observational capacity than us.

Really, there could be a civilization with the same radio output as our planet in this same solar system, and we could still easily miss it.

Time would be a bigger factor than density of the area of the galaxy -- if you live near us, we're one of the ones you'll try because you want an answer before you go extinct.

>>9043291
>Really, there could be a civilization with the same radio output as our planet in this same solar system, and we could still easily miss it.

This seems unlikely -- we can detect signals from one of our probes among the outer planets, but we'd miss an entire civilization's worth of radio noise.

>>9043151
>Could they watch our TV shows from Ross 128?
>>9043171
>Probs not. You need a very strong and focused signal to get it out 11 light years.

the thing is we've been doing exactly that by beaming very focused signals in the 6ghz and 14ghz bands for a while. We beam signals to the geosynchronous satellites for cable, dish, direct TV etc... '
so much of space that is in the "equitorial" region has been hit by these beams. Keep in mind that because of the rotation of the Earth these beams would sweep the heavens and appear very brief to a distant observer.

>>9043351
Those are directed beams of very specific frequencies, that, even though directed, would be impossible to find without knowing exactly what you were looking for.

Granted, the fact that we've done close flybys of nearly every rocky celestial body, and landed on a few, does reduce the odds of missing such a thing considerably - but searching for radio broadcasts alone, ya'd find nadda.

>>9043374
Suffice to say, communication companies don't pump the kind of power and modulation into those beams that you need to beat the law of inverse square at 11 light years out at those frequencies. One doesn't "accidentally" call ET.

Let X = some proposition
Let E = evidence of X

Let us define evidence to mean that P(X|E) > P(X)

P(~X|~E) = P(~X) P(~E|~X) / P(~E)

Since evidence cannot exist for something which does not exist P(~E|~X) = 1

P(~X|~E) = P(~X) / P(~E)

If evidence is not impossible then P(~E) < 1

P(~X|~E) = P(~X) / P(~E) > P(~X)

P(~X|~E) > P(~X)

Thus absence of evidence is evidence of absence

Here's a picture of the aliens trying to communicate with us

Alien transmission isn't impossible if their radio signal sources are sufficiently primitive - ie, spark gap transmitters. In fact, given the wide band, non-polarized signal, I think that's the only kind of artificial transmitter it could be.

>>9040205

Probably some type of coronal activity that hasn't been recorded before.

the Shivans came from Ross 128.....

>>9044928

It'd be quite ironic if an aggressive species was on its way -- we'd have zero hope, even if their tech was similar to our, but their biology allowed for longer lifespans or an insect like hive (so long voyages were possible).

>we'd have zero hope

>>9045272

I doubt we'd be able to mess up Earth greater than what say, Mars is; there's probably enough fissile material on the planet to cause an extinction level event, but that's about it.

Our best course would be mass production of and interplanetary missile spam (Falcon Heavy and other larger rockets being the main body), as if we treated the incoming hostile as any other threat on its way.

The problem being is that it's a 50/50 if any incoming is a threat or not if it's intelligence. By the time we could probably tell, it'd be too late to launch.

Hence, we fucked up by not having at least out to Mars locked down space, and further for identification purposes of intelligence on its way.

For reception you'd need to have a conductive dick equal to 1/4th the desired frequency, since it is radio waves that goes from 10cm to 10m, in addition your testicles would have to act as an inductor to get the harmonics right.

In short, you don't have the right equipment.

What about evidence with probabilities attached, something like DNA testing or fingerprints with room for false positives?

If their tech was similar to ours, they would need to figure out how to avoid thousands of nuclear missiles sent in the general direction of their fleet.

Where are those thousands of missiles?

ICBMs just don't have enough delta-v to pose much of a threat to an inbound generation vessel that would be able to beat them out in the energy game.

Purpose built space missiles would work, but again, where are those?

We could probably build a couple of interceptors in a year, but they'd no doubt be shot down.

We're fucked

Maybe it turns out, with the right materials, FTL is easy... And it makes all sorts of other technology easy... So all their other technology, will be shit:

In addition to that if they are sufficiently intelligent they can do simple psyops and claim they come in peace. Most cuckolds will willingly bite even if there's something off about the bait since the idea of submitting to benevolent noble savages is a great turn on for them.

When dealing with sending electronic communications to advanced civilsations in space mathematics would no longer be an abstraction. Mathematical truths are meant to be self evident and transcend language and also denote intelligence so it is a quick method of establishing a common ground, but of course you are right in the long run we would need some linguistic translations, assuming they even use language to communicate and not some kind of internal luminesence dislpay or chemical based language.

We are waiting for all results to reach a conclusion on the nature of the signals from #Ross128 later this week. Spoilers: not aliens.

So.. Wtf caused the signal, Will we ever know?

>>9048110
They are analyzing now. Will know soon but lead sci is saying it is not hot blue alien waifus.

Of course there are aliens. Trump is building a wall to keep them out. I say we embrace the aliens, and let them do all the under the table work they want.

>>9047569

And if AYYs have FTL, we're beyond fucked.

>>9048048
>Spoilers: not aliens

It's not like they'd know if it was aliens or not.

So, I'm guessing coronal from Ross 128 or terrestrial. The former being more likely based on the various speeds of the signals.

>tfw everything we possess knowledge-wise is inherently wrong

>Not Aliens, probs geo-sync sats.

>>9053264

But it was said that this wasn't a radio frequaency they used and there are no geo-synchronous says that 'we' know about

I smell cover up of either Aliums or us spy satellites.

>>9053264
>We discussed our results with many other radio astronomers, but came up with no definitive answers.
fuck off shill

>>9053297

Also the diagonal features of the signal are exactly what is expected in dispersion from the distance of ten light years, unless they can explain why a satellite signal would look like that they have to admit this is at least an extrasolar signal....

This is getting fisher by the minute. I't a shame Arecibo is supposedly the only radio telescope that can det ct this signal.

>Distance 11.03 ly
>the distance of this star from Earth is 10.89 light-years
>This orbit will bring the star closer to the Solar System in the future. The nearest approach will occur in about 71,000 years, when it will come within 6.233 ly
So it takes 71K years for it to travel enough to become 4.8 ly closer to earth?
It's hopeless, we aren't going anywhere we're doomed to this rock.

>>9053840

With current tech, we could probably get there in 100/200 years if we really wanted to.

There's nothing there, though.

>>9053297
>us spy satellites

That, or a foreign advanced one that isn't meant to be there by international law.

Sorry I didn't mean getting specifically to Ross 128, I meant Ross 128 is like the 12th closes star and it would take that long to get even that far so humans aren't going to venture out into space unless FTL is discovered, even generational ships wouldn't be enough.

>>9054072

You're right in that it's too long and too far for people unless really needed, and by that time, it's probably too late, as it'll require a lot of cooperation and time to build self-sustaining generation ships.

On the other hand, Earth IS perfect for us, and there probably won't be an event that'll torch this place. There's no place like the place you evolved on.

But a lot of people on 4chins are hoping for something like a GRB.

silicon is 1000x more prevalent in earths crust than carbon and we are still carbon based

I just do not see this silicon thing working out anywhere for anyone

>>9054369

Possible, but unlikely.

It's not something you'd plan for.

Now, comets and asteroids, yes, as well as stations around outer planets looking for such. We can't see them all from Earth. In addition to on the call interceptor missiles ready to go.

Well shit, there is a bit of difference.
