This was actually quite a requested topic in the comments of the last Wow Signals video. I hope this video answers some of your questions!

"Have we tried to contact the humans?"
"Yes we have, but we were so good at giving them a regular and precise signal that they thought it was a glitch of their system"

It's like whenever he talks he smiles

One of my favorite characteristics about Astrum is how the content is always truly striving to be as accurate as possible. It allows me to enjoy the science without having to consciously attempt to filter out any exaggerations or reckless statements. This style captures how real science, is really cool.

I love the idea that the fast radio bursts are possibly us detecting warp signatures

It's PROBABLY not that, but it's fun to imagine that all those little blips are an advanced species jumping into warp somewhere out there.

Imagine if our first contact with aliens is them saying "stop sending messages or they'll hear you too"

It was great working with you AGAIN, Astrum. As always, really interesting video. I'm of the mind that if we were to detect a signal from an alien civilization, it wouldn't be an intentional signal on their part. Humans emit signals we often aren't aware of on a day-to-day basis (pheromones, odors, etc). And while other, less developed animals can't detect radio signals, they can definitely pick up on these other signals. The same may be true for alien signals. Keep up the great work!

And, for any viewers who might be interested in trying out Ground News, I'm happy to answer any questions you might have in the meantime. Thanks!

I don't know about this BLC1 signal from the Australian telescope you were talking about, but I know of another signal that telescope kept picking up. It was a weird, short burst that happened about the same time every day. Turns out it was someone opening a microwave oven while it was still operating, instead of waiting for it to stop. That brief millisecond or so showed up on the telescope's readings.

"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, is everything you haven't thought about yet."

[Praegressus]

I like to imagine that the way we try to speak to aliens would be similar to us attempting communication to neolithic peoples with radio waves while they try communicate with bright fires. Except that we’re the neolithic people in this example.

This reminds me of the reason for Zefram Cochrane's Warp Flight in Star Trek (Star Trek VIII: First Contact), the crew of the Enterprise wanted a scout ship that was at the edge of our Solar system to notice the Warp signature!

[sabrewolf]

The problem with constantly ignoring this signal or that signals because of our biases, we may accidentally pass over a legitimate signal from an alien civilization asking that age old question: "Is anybody out there?"

[CartoonHero]

An interesting early find about FRB's when Duncan Lorimer was still confirming his discovery of FRBs; a microwave oven can give a false positive detection signal so an FRB most likely is generated by something that produces massive emissions of microwaves to be detected at the distances he was first finding the FRBs he later confirmed where not from local interference. And since humans are already capable of making an exponentially scaled down version emitor; we cannot totally rule out artificial sources being a possible emitor of some of the FRBs detected since the Lorimer Burst.

In 1999, I joined the Planetary Society...and devoted my personal computer(s) to SETI. My system(s) ran 24/7/365 all those years. I had processed over 7 Million data units for the project before they pulled the project. Often I would try to calculate how much energy my computer used all those years...I probably don't want to know, eh? And all that effort...no aliens...yet.
My SETI Account name was Heinekn. And thanks for your videos.

[stevejohnson]

Imagine SETI scientists, on a regular day at work, saying 'What keeps messaging us? Will somebody please tell it to stop?'

[MrJtheC]

Life is probably quite common in the universe. It's just that we haven't quite realised the size of the universe. If we could zoom out and hold the universe in our hand like a basketball then life would seem to be everywhere, but we are less than the size of a quark in that ball so we'll never see anything really.

[fructiferous]

the "i" in "seti" definitely stands for "intelligence", not "life"

[klee]

I got very excited when you mentioned the CHIME telescope. I attend UBC Okanagan and one of my professors works at the DRAO and talked about it a lot. I've grown up and lived in the Okanagan most of my life, and I'm glad to see CHIME highlighted in an area I'm passionate about :)

[paulanizan]

The fact that the particular signal always restarted at 1421, might mean that the aliens kept resetting the signal to that value.

[antoniocipolla]

I remember, i don't know if was the movie contact or star trek, the best way to recognize an HELLO message from an intelligent alien lifeform was the prime number sequence
