Ears On Empty


Searching For Signals

SETI - the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence - is now 50 years old. And so far, they’ve discovered - nothing. Not a beep, not a sound, not a tweet. Absolutely nothing. So does that mean that there is no intelligent life elsewhere in the universe? Or have we just been looking in the wrong places, using the wrong tools, and making some bad assumptions about alien intelligence?
