Of course. If you can send a signal, you can come in person (=s
It appears we inadvertently "kicked over the stove" at Michael's
house in Japan. Good stuff, Michael, and Europa relevant.

What if most life in the universe evolves on worlds like Europa?
I've called this the Common Europa Hypothesis.
Gas giants appear to be abundant. Water appears to be

might be tidal forces rather than stellar input. The main form o
I doubt that the aliens will make the same exponential tech leap at the
same rate that we do. We're human after all and therefore special ;-{>
I feel the admin coming on, about to admonish us for going extra-Europa.
And Michael, I'm 48, chrono-years that is. Or about 1.3 to 10,000 tech

I wryly note the massive volume of speculation perpetually raging on all
regions of the space-alien sphere of thought.
Some see panspermian-spawned humanoids, some see robots, some see gods
or demons. Some see galactic bliss, some see extinction.
All I see are a bunch of singularities hurtling
But as I always like to ask, how else are we going to search for
intelligent life
in the Universe? Wait for it to come knocking on our door? And
star probes are
not going to happen any time soon. SETI at least offers us some

needless conversation ...any
alien group or civilization that can reach earth has already got the very
first siginal that left earth and if it has not reached them yet they will
get it when the time for it to get ther passes... this is a sure known fact ...
it needs no speculation ! so we
of course you are right, gary ! seti ranks with the many religions humans
dream up. the worst of them which is the religion belief, coined "creation
". of all the religious dogma it gets the prize... second prize "seti "
hummm... on second thought maby seti runs neck and neck... oh.. well
A bit off topic, but interesting op-ed. I didn't know about SETI
being active; I thought it was mostly passive, a much safer approach.
Personally, I'm wildly optimistic that SETI will never achieve its
goals. Therefore, there's no need to get worked up about aliens
