Assuming your mind hasn't already blown a gasket,
these things should by all rights blow your mind...
Alien signals are reaching us. They reach us every
second of every minute of every hour of every day,
and they always have.
It's literally impossible that they wouldn't.
IF alien civilizations exist, and we all agree that they
must, that the odds that we're alone are tiny,
minuscule. We're talking quantum-level tiny here.
The signals are reaching us. They''re simply far too
weak, as a rule, for us to detect them. But their
signals are reaching us. Their radio, their TV or whatever
it is they use to communicate with & entertain each
other; it's reaching us.
If we could only sniff them all, all these signals, tease
them apart from each other, we could listen in (watch?)
as beings nothing like ourselves lay out their knowledge
and culture for us to study.
It's all there! It's all right under or noses! For us it's like
microbial world before the invention of the microscope.
We know it's there, or at least we're certain that it must
be, but we can't see it.
