Why has SETI detected no signals from extra-terrestrial life?

It might be more intelligent. Might be less. It might be too alien for us to communicate with. What if it's a hive mind, like an insect colony?

Then I'll bleach the f8ckers.

What if it's.....Mother Brain!?!?

[Barn]

what about generating a wormhole or actually warping spacetime?

christopher nolan is working on a movie that is based on kip thorne's research on relativity...

I'm not sure about that, a bit too "out there" for me to have looked into in great detail.

Warped space-time essentially happens in the presence of mass. It's Einstein's General Relativity's explanation for gravity.

SETI Finds No Alien Signals from Exoplanets

Easy answer.......because THEY don't want us to....the moment THEY decide it we will know of THEM.........but until then we shall know nothing.....

If you've mastered galactic travel would you talk to us?

We're not just listening for transmissions TO us from them.

We're listening for radio signals from them to each other, and we've not heard anything.

If an intelligent life form 50 light years away had something like SETI, they'd might hear the Beatles on BBC right now and they might hear us broadcasting the news about the JFK assassination later this year.

We've been listening for over 50 years to many locations across the galaxy, and heard no radio transmissions. More recently, SETI focused on planets in the so-called "habitable zones" around sun-like stars, and heard nothing.

But we should keep in mind, the chances of intelligent life evolving on another planet is very unlikely (though not impossible). You see, simple life existed on earth for about 3 billion years before complex life finally evolved, and then various forms of complex life were here more than another half-billion years before humans finally evolved.

There has to be an ozone layer, a moon to create the tides, giant outer planet(s) like Jupiter to attract dangerous comets, and a stable single star like sol (one without the massive solar flares we observe in so many nearby stars). And we need to be just the right distance from the star, we need enough gravity to hold onto an atmosphere, and our rotation should be within a time frame...

An excellent BBC documentary that will help you to understand how very fortunate we humans are to have had the conditions necessary for us to evolve: Earth: A Biography narrated by geologist Iain Stewart.

I wonder if intelligent life on other planets box, and if they do, what style do they use?

Would they be flashy and eye-catching like a prime Ali, or would they jab, jab, jab, jab, jab, jab, jab, jab, clinch, jab, jab, jab, jab, jab, jab, jab, jab, jab, jab and jab to boring UD after boring UD?

Nah, they'd jab, headbutt, clinch, fake a low blow, take a 5 minute break, rinse repeat for 12 rounds and win a UD.

Hopkins's combo is the right hand/headbutt/clinch.

Get it right.
