Comment on Astronomers in China Claim Possible Detection of Extraterrestrial Civilizations

Comments

Man, I'm tired of clickbait headlines and the whole news industry in general. I think I'm getting old.

This hasn't been confirmed by anyone else yet. The most likely explanation is that it's radio interference from ourselves. Last time people got excited about this it was satellites, another time it was a microwave oven.

They have tourists at this location in China, to try and make some extra money. The tourists aren't allowed to bring their cellphones - how well do you suppose that's enforced?

Thanks for saving me the click.

Agreed, but the problem is that this mindset is the same mindset that allows people to disagree with news, expert, science so that they can believe what they want.
