Leading figures behind the 50-year-old Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (Seti), which uses radio telescopes to listen passively for unnatural signals from space, have now proposed an “active” form of search known as Meti – Messages to Extraterrestrial Intelligence. These signals will be aimed at the parts of the galaxy where Earth-like planets and life may exist, based on the growing number of “exoplanets” beyond our solar system identified by the Kepler space telescope, which include many in the so-called “habitable zone” of a star - The Independent Cosmologists who are critical pf the plans say that Seti was designed to listen for signs of life not transmit.
They believe that sending out signals could harm Earth and its occupants and ultimately could spell doom for humanity. That leaves me wondering if they already know 'something is out there'.
