Earth 'noise' could attract alien invaders
03 May 2008
From New Scientist Print Edition.
No matter how quiet we try to be now it's too late to prevent alien invaders. So says Alexander Zaitsev of the Institute of Radio Engineering and Electronics in Moscow, Russia, who points the finger at astronomers.
For 40 years, astronomers have fired microwaves off objects to chart near-Earth space and track the movement of close asteroids - and these signals are traceable back to us. By comparison, Zaitsev says, dedicated transmissions - often described as "shouting into an unknown jungle" - are a mere whisper. He calculates the astronomy signals have filled an area of the sky 2000 times greater than dedicated broadcasts have managed to date (www.arxiv.org/0804.2754).

The guy’s a moron. What are the chances that a civilization lasting long enough to develop faster-than-light interstellar travel would still be violent enough to want to conquer another planet?
And Slim Whitman albums.
I’m willing to do my part by wearing a tin foil hat and thinking quiet thoughts........
Our acreage used to be part of a farm over 20 years ago. It grows stuff a local botanist has had trouble identifying. We’ve simply named them “Triffids.” Very few family members get the joke but we’re the nerds of the bunch.
As to the noise output of the Earth, if aliens are stupid enough to come here they deserve what happens to them.
I believe that if hostile aliens tried to subdue the Earth, humans would very quickly learn the technology that brought them here and before long we would be running the show again.
Aliens will never come here due to Global Warming.
Quick! Everybody hide behind the sofa! (This always worked when we were kids watching a scary space monster movie on TV.)
I can only wonder how long that would take for that sound to travel such great distance?
I think if there is a threat at all would still be from space rocks or even some organisms that just might make it past burning up on entry in our atmosphere.
I mean... if a guy REALLY have a need to feel doomed.... are are far more likely scenarios.
Yep. Overrun by WalMart, McDonalds, and Starbucks in a very short time.

You have that wrong...
its:
“Gork Baraack Obama niktu!
The man has a PhD. in Astrophysics.
Just the kind of "moron" that would be forced off FR.
when i’m calling you.......
Pretty good, I'd say, if you assume a society with very strong internal bonds of cohesion but extreme antipathy to others.
IOW, they're violent to everybody but each other. We have a pretty good example right here on earth with 1930s and 40s Japan. Very low internal conflict. Extreme aggression channeled outwards, even towards people that were no threat to them such as Pacific islanders.
Meanwhile in another part of the galaxy other life forms are saying “Be quiet, or we’ll attract earthlings!”
