Indeed, seems that everyone that has looked at it has marked it as
at least worth spending more time looking at. I think the quote
from Arthur C Clark chimes well here:<br>
<br>
“Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we
are not. Both are equally terrifying.”<br>
<br>
Also kinda fits in with what Michio Kaku and others have been
saying. The types of civilisations potentially out there based on
their energy production/consumption. This potentially fits in with
the REALLY advanced type III civilisations that are capable of
directly harnessing entire stars as energy sources.<br>
<br>
Like you say, If they can/could do that ~1500 years ago they most
likely know about us and, lets face it, could probably get here as
well.<br>
