Are aliens sending radio signals to us?
Are aliens sending radio signals to us?
Mysterious burst of radio signals are being detected up to 2000 times every day.
Nothing have been deciphered yet.
They could be from an advanced alien civilisation or from a fast revolving star in a constellation 94.4 light years away.
Fast Radio Bursts are only a recent discovery but many are getting excited but these signals.

Re: Are aliens sending radio signals to us?
Since the signals are from almost 100 light years away then if aliens are scanning for our signals they won't have to wait too long.
Apparently radio signals don't fade away so they wont have to wait too long for ours to reach them.
They will soon start to be able to hear out early radio broadcasts.
Then they will get our silent movies.
I wonder what they will make of Charlie Chaplin
One thing for sure is that all our radio signals will be travelling at the speed of light through the universe.
This, of course, is advertising the fact that there is intelligent life on Earth.
From that, advanced alien life will find us first.

Yes, we just haven't got the technology to find out how they are going about it.Gambling Man wrote:Are aliens sending radio signals to us?

According to this post on the forum our FM radio system may shut down completely all over the world soon.monty wrote:Apparently radio signals don't fade away so they wont have to wait too long for ours to reach them.
So, after just a few decades those frequencies will be no more, meaning for aliens to catch those, they will have to be quick.
Who knows what other methods of communication are passing us by in the universe just like the FM stuff that we will possibly get rid of!

I would agree with this.Crawford wrote:Who knows what other methods of communication are passing us by in the universe just like the FM stuff that we will possibly get rid of!
We have radios that receive FM/MW/LW and years ago radios had S/W.
Medium wave and especially long wave were terrible for listening to music but I remember the pirate radios were the best place for music on those wavelengths.
The music faded in and out and the quality was terrible.
MW/LW are only good for talk radio stations.
FM brought us crystal clear sounds.
We certainly will move over to digital which will make those frequencies hardly worth it.
I think they will all close down which means over a short period of time they will have come and gone.
Which raises the question of whether there is anything after digital radio?
How other intelligent life is communicating will remain a mystery for a while to come but I think there are other ways other that radio signals.
If we were to go back before radio and tell people that one day we will be able to send signals through the air to communicate they would have laughed at us.
There are many unknowns that will remain so.
I believe that we are only in the early stages of Interstellar communication and it will be a long time before we actually crack it.

I used to do this with my trusty old tube television. I even used to try and look through the little dot as well when the telly was turned off

Re: Are aliens sending radio signals to us?
If aliens are sending signals in outer space we just haven't got the technology to discover them yet. They will be far advanced and we are primitive in comparison so we are unlikely to discover them yet.
What was that you said again?
