@@Mr11ESSE111 Scientists of course understand that that alien civilisations (if they exist) very well could be using some other uknown means of communication. Unfortunately we can only look for stuff that we can actually see. Much like a renaissance scientist could not observe radio waves and lacked the theoretical frameworks needed to even understand it, extraterrestrial civilisations could be invisible to us. This does not mean that SETI scientists are stupid, in fact they know very well what they are doing. That is using the technology we do have to either rule out or confirm the stuff that we can see. That why SETI says there are no nearby "radio-communicative civilisations" rather than no nearby civilisations. The distinction is important. But we also as of yet do not have any reason to believe there are any nearby civilisations at all. Tl;DR We lack the evidence to confirm or deny the presence of aliens. Extraordinary claims demands extraordinary evidence.

From its general shape and proportions its likely not an asteroid anyway. Its shape, size and high albedo suggest perhaps it could indeed be a vessel of some kind, even if abandoned. We'd be arrogant to discount that possibility. Its rotation will create centrifugal force as the equivalent of a G field for any lifeforms. We'd use rotation in just the same way. If its high reflectivity was due to ice then it would have developed a coma, so that's hard to explain. As is its non-gravitational acceleration.

@@chomes8048 I agree that the narrator confused the issue, talking about radio. Radio does travel at the speed of light though. Radio is the same stuff as light, just with longer wavelengths. Even if you send a probe to another star or galaxy, you still have to wait for the results to arrive by radio or laser at light speed. Plus you have to wait for the probe to get there at much less than light speed. Radio SETI was always a longshot, but it was just about the only shot we had available. It depends on aliens deliberately blasting a powerful signal directly at us. We couldn't detect anything weaker. (We could only detect a civ like our own at about 100 light years - right on our doorstep.) It was worth a try, and it still is - our receivers are getting bigger and better.

[@chomes8048]

@@bozo5632 That's very interesting about the radio speed. My mistake. You appear to know a lot more about the issue than me. I will go and learn some basics of radio as my next topic 😁. Thanks for the info mate.

[@bozo5632]

@ShaunDoesMusic True but confusing. Light travels at different speeds through different materials. It can actually move very slowly through some things. Light moves faster in air than in water, for instance. The maximum speed in a perfect vacuum, for anything, is close to 300,000 km/sec or 186,000 miles/sec. We lazily call that "the speed of light," which is mostly okay, but technically it has nothing to do with light. Light and radio are exactly the same thing - electromagnetic radiation - and travel at the same speed in a vacuum.

Oumuamua could be a fragment of an ancient starship crash of a MASSIVE scale. Like a starship thats 2x as big as the sun and another starship of similar size crashed a millennia ago and it’s just now that we witnessed a part of it. Overtime it bumping and hitting other asteroids has caused it to be shaped more like an asteroid/comet I mean it explains the shininess of it, The lack of radio signals, and the elongated shape.

Oumuamua was an intergalactic bouy waiting for a system to come along and give it a nudge. That system happened to be Sol and we were visited as a result. It's velocity is much less than it would be if had been ejected previously by another star system. All of the neighboring systems in our local group are traveling close to the same velocity, which makes sense if they came from the same interstellar nursery (which they probably did). This object was moving much slower in relation to that velocity until Sol nudged it. Ari Loeb talks about this in various pod casts. In fact he predicted that if it were truly alien in nature we should be finding them all over the place. The fact that we only found one is a detractor to the alien theory, but now that we have potentially found more it seems Ari Loeb's hypothesis was proven out. Also, Ari Loeb doesn't believe it's cigar shaped as every rendition depicts. He believes it was pancake shaped. The data we have on the object supports either configuration, but someone sent out an early rendition of the cigar shape and that has stuck ever since.

[@PrepperStateofMind]

We need to stop thinking aliens will use radio signals. We haven’t thought of everything, we would be primative in comparison

[@7n154]

Exactly. We would be like wildlife to them. They probably wouldn't have any reason to make contact with us after a quick observation. They would probably realize the risk to our civilization would outweigh any reward for theirs. Observe but not interfere would be the most likely protocol.

[@AxionSmurf]

But radio signals are invisible and fast and capable of carrying a lot of information. Starlink is at least 150 megabits per second downlink, for example. And WiFi routers with yagi attachments at 802.11ac are capable of much higher throughputs. Is there something you think prevents us from scanning for radio signals as well as using any other methods that might be conceived ... at the same time? And have you considered that aliens might not be more advanced than us in every way?

[@7n154]

@@AxionSmurf Yeah, it isn't so much about being advanced as it is about being different. It'd be like two different technologies trying to communicate. Like using a cell phone to talk to a cb radio. Excellent question posed at the end, I wonder what alien culture would look like. Would they have a form of music? What would their senses even be like?So many mind blowing possibilities.

[@MrGibbonici]

@@7n154 Those are the questions, aren't they? Would they even have a comparable form of sentience to ours? Would they percieve time like we do or would they "tick" faster (like flies) or slower? If their senses, forms of manipulation, and native environments were sufficiently different to ours, their technology would likely start from a completely different baseline and develop along very differnt paths to ours. Then there's their lifespan - they may live longer or effectively be immortal (to our understanding), or they may only be "alive" for certain periods, or they may have very short lifespans but knowledge and memory may pass down to their "descendents", if you could even call them that.

[@yellowferrari3430]

I think there's probably some galactic formation where they've decided to only observe young evolving civilizations and not to let themselves be known because it would interfere with our natural course and evolution. It would cause mass panic and hysteria. They try to make sure we don't put ourselves into extinction though. Like with the events in ww2 when aliens were known to interfere and disable our nucular bombs. Ive seen a ufo watching me with my own eyes. When they knew they were noticed by me they took off at light speed, could have also been a goverment ship, pretty sure they have reverse engineered craft.

[@photios4779]

Maybe, but those would have to be *extremely* patient aliens. Oumuamua is traveling at a speed of 196,000 miles per hour. That's fast by earthly standards, but it's still going a tiny fraction of the speed of light, which is 186,000 miles per second. It would take hundreds of thousands to millions of years to reach another star. Sure, one can fantasize about aliens frozen in suspended animation for those vast stretches of time waiting until their spacecraft enters a solar system, but then one has to wonder why its navigational computer didn't detect Earth as a suitable world? I also kind of hope that technologically advanced aliens would have developed a much more efficient means of travel such as a warp drive so aliens could move around the galaxy much faster than the travel time a generational or Ark ship would require.

[@matthewhornbostel9889]

Building a ship into the interior of an asteroid would provide radiation shielding and a ready supply of raw materials, aside from being a good means of stealth and misdirection to avoid detection, but this object moved too slowly to take all that seriously as an actual spacecraft of any kind. The amount of time it would've drifted before even reaching us makes it that much harder to seriously believe it was an alien craft. Unless, of course, they were moving much faster but then decelerated dramatically before even entering our system and being detected.

[@cinimatics]

Radiation is a significant sign of energy being produced. Not necessarily a form of communication.

[@akinoshimo]

yup, they look for incidental radio emissions, CW, or analog modulated radio signals. Advanced civilizations likely use a form of digital spread spectrum , or perhaps a combination of spread spectrum and use quantum entanglement to broadcast despreading information (like with direct sequence spread spectrum systems using A-priori receivers). Without knowing anything about the signal (PN spreading , coding and so forth), any radio transmission will look like noise at best. Noise is uncorrelated so no way to tell if there is any radio signal or radio emissions from long distances. Note, Quantum Entanglement requires the sender and the receiver to be in possession of entangled systems. anyway, something I have been wondering about for a long time. I see other comments along the same lines.
