RE: SETI has observed a “strong” signal that may originate from a Sun-like star or it may be BS
As I know, a lot of people are skeptical about it, because so far they have all come back empty-handed, and radio telescopes have been known to pick up rogue signals – everything from flushing toilets to microwave oven.
Do you think the beacon was especially targeted at Earth?
@zaebars
I have a hunch we've detected something new. That's it just a hunch.
Right now there is so much evidence to the contrary, but I can't get over the feeling that this star needs a closer look with Kepler. That's one reason I'm raising funds to go to Mexico. I'd like to see the actual data and the analysis and I would like to talk to people that spend their whole lives doing this.
But you ever go to a casino and just get a"hunch"? You play the hunch and it pays off?
I have that sort of hunch and I'm normally a very rational person. I can't even guarantee my hunch is telling me aliens. Just my hunch is telling me this needs closer examination and if we examine it closer we're going to find something. I want to be a part of that.
I have the same hunch about Tabby's star too though.
Yeah, Tabby's star looks existing, but as I understand we need to wait for a James Webb telescope launch to get more information, and it's gonna be 2018👽
