  Sydney, Australia (SPX) Jun 06, 2017 The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) has gone on for decades without hearing ET call. SETI has mostly been performed with radio telescopes. That's understandable. Humans use radio for telecommunications, so much that our own radio transmissions are percolating through interstellar space. In recent decades, lasers and photonics have also become important, and the world is covered in fibreoptic cables. This type of communication is hard to detect from deep space, but we are now using ... read more |
