Smart aliens might live within 33,000 light-years of Earth. A new study explains why we haven't found them yet. Article Link: https://www.businessinsider.com/alien-signals-search-for-extraterrestrial-intelligence-study-2018-10 ---The universe has so many galaxies, stars, planets, and moons that many scientists believe intelligent aliens should exist within detectable range of Earth. ---Still, human searches for extraterrestrial intelligence have yet to detect any alien signal or "technosignature." ---A new study suggests this may be because we've searched just 0.00000000000000058% of a "cosmic haystack" in our hunt for an alien "needle." ---There's no guarantee that exhaustive searches would ever find aliens, though The cosmos almost screams with the possibility of intelligent alien life. Hundreds of billions of galaxies drift through the visible universe, each one harboring hundreds of billions of stars, and each of those stars in turn shelters roughly a handful of planets. Even if the trillion-or-so planets in every galaxy aren't habitable, countless water-rich moons orbiting these lifeless worlds might be. A study in The Astronomical Journal, which we learned about from MIT Technology Review, suggests humanity has barely sampled the skies and thus has no grounds to be cynical. According to the paper, all searches for extraterrestrial intelligence, or SETI, have examined barely a swimming pool's worth of water from a figurative ocean of signal space. Aside from a few anomaly signals that never repeated (like the "Wow!" detection of 1977), these searches have turned up empty-handed.
