Shouting At The Cosmos
Shouting At The Cosmos:
"Recently, several groups, ranging from radio astronomers in Argentina and Russia all the way to the web advertising site Craig's List, have declared that they intend to commence broadcasting high-intensity Messages to ETI... or METI... an endeavor also known at "Active SETI". Their intention is to change the observable brightness of Earth civilization by many orders of magnitude, in order to attract attention to our planet from anyone who might be out there."
Interesting article; I disagree with him that broadcasting out to space is a bad thing to do. I think we should do it.
