Scientists Claim To Have Found 234 Alien Civilizations
Click to expand...

Back in March:

With 100 percent of the precincts reporting in Saturday’s four GOP presidential contests, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz were separated by only 234 votes (out of a total of 622,579 cast), as Trump got 230,443 votes to Cruz's 230,209. The candidates' respective percentages of the vote on "Super Saturday" were as follows: Trump, 37.0 percent; Cruz, 37.0 percent; Marco Rubio, 13.7 percent; and John Kasich, 10.0 percent.

While Trump beat Cruz by 234 votes on the night, Cruz beat Rubio by 145,145, and Rubio beat Kasich by 22,510.

Cruz won Kansas and Maine, while Trump won Kentucky and Louisiana. Where they didn't win, each was the runner-up. Rubio finished fourth in Maine and third in each of the other three states, with Kasich notching a third-place finish in Maine.

234 alien civilizations...and Trump got 234 votes more than Ted Cruz in the biggest day of the GOP primary!

Coincidence? I think not!

:doh
 
Well hang-on, now.

This program is run by UC Berkeley's SETI Research Center, which is pretty legit in itself, and the project is being backed by Stephan Hawking. Berkeley also runs the Allen Array (--> Paul Allen Microsoft founder), which is the largest, newest, and most technologically advanced listening array. Jointly, they and many others run the SETI Institute, which is the primary international clearinghouse for things SETI

So these guys are the state-of-the-art in SETI, and have more gravitas than pretty much anyone else in these matters.

In this instance, they've made it clear that there may be some physical phenomenon - heretofore not understood - behind this effect. But regardless, they believe these stars's signals are worthy of further investigation.

I think this is fair.

I also think it's highly unlikely the signals are found to be legit, but they're definitely worthy of examination. We should always be desiring to investigate unusual astronomical phenomenon that appear to be non-natural in nature. No?

Its just too early to tell. But either way we will probably learn something new.

It's (radioastronomy) how we discovered pulsars and binary stars! :thumbs:

Exactly.

We should always be looking outward rather than simply focusing only on the insular, "down-to-earth" issues in research.

The universe is vast and there are many things still to learn. Space exploration is, IMO anyway, still a valid cause worth devoting at least some of our wealth and resources towards.

Fourier transform contains unexpected frequency content ?

Note that, from the article, they ignored the effects of : "instrumental effects, rotation of molecules, rapid stellar pulsations, and peculiar chemistry."

Warrants further study ? Absolutely, but this is more of a possibility than it is a plausibility.

Edit: anything's a UFO if you're ignorant enough.
 
IFLS degenerated into click bait so goddamned fast when it became popular. Anything for advertising dollars.

No one with the project is declaring this more than that I bolded. The OP article is sensationalizing the title.

I agree, I think I'll barf too; barf, barf, barf, barf, barf barf barf. Thank you, now I feel much better.

Find out how to send the code and in millions of ages you'll have your information all over the universe.too.
