Something in space may be changing alien signals before they can reach Earth. Scientists have a solution.
Humans have been searching the stars for alien radio signals for decades — and so far, E.T. has not phoned home. But that doesn’t mean intelligent life isn’t out there, a new study hints. Rather, something else could be interfering: according to the research, space weather surrounding alien planets could be preventing us from detecting technological signals from extraterrestrial civilizations.The findings, published March 5 in The Astrophysical …
Scientists believe that plasma and radiation around stars could distort radio signals from extraterrestrial civilizations.
Previously, an astrophysicist from Oxford, Brian C. Lucky, suggested that traces of alien technology could be stored in lunar dust along with interstellar matter. This approach complements a new explanation of the problem of finding extraterrestrial life: researchers at SETI believe that potential radio signals can be distorted by plasma and other processes near distant stars to such an extent that modern telescopes are simply unable to recogniz…
