'Looking for the Wrong Shape': Scientists Reveal Why Bad 'Space Weather' Has Jammed Alien Tech Signals
Scientists say bad space weather may be one reason alien tech signals have not reached our telescopes in a usable form, after astronomer Vishal Gajjar and colleagues reported in The Astrophysical Journal that radio transmissions from extraterrestrial civilisations could be smeared out by the plasma and activity around their own stars before they are detected on Earth. The claim goes to the heart of a familiar question in astronomy, why years of …
A new study carried out by researchers at the SETI Institute suggests that the spatial climate conditions around stars may be making it difficult to detect radio signals from extraterrestrial civilizations. Star activity and plasma turbulence in the vicinity of a transmitting planet may widen a signal originally [...]
For decades, we have listened to the sky without ever capturing alien signals. Silence seemed to prove their absence. But SETI, the organization seeking extraterrestrial life now proposes a new explanation. Cosmic silence would hide scrambled extraterrestrial signals at the source And if we were looking for the wrong form of signal from the beginning. According to a study by the SETI Institute published in The Astrophysical Journal in March 2026…
