I was talking to an electrical engineer with a government agency who was involved with SETI for a while. He said that if a planet took the equivalent of all the energy on earth and directed it into a beam pointed directly at us, and we had directed all of our resources at building a sensor directly pointed at that planet, we still wouldn’t pick up anything.
