    Baad news bois, I'd very much like to see the aliens, but we will never meet them in hundreds of thousands of years. Why? I can explain this as follows: we have about 100 years of using and broadcasting radio signals throughout the earth, and these radio signals also broadcast in space at the speed of light. And those stars within 100 light years away can list our signals. And we still have not received any signals.

    And we can safely apply this theory even further. We are here for about 4 billion years, and if an intelligible civilization is present within 4 billion light years, we should be able to capture their broadcasts, but none have been received. so we can safely conclude that there is no intelligent life within 4 billion light years away!

    So, I believe it's our duty to spread life within the universe.

    Yes, radio waves travel through the vacuum with the speed of light. BUT:

    • The intensity of the signal reduces by a factor of four if you double the distance.
    • If we would place the most powerful radio emitter in the next solar system and send a signal to Earth, our most powerful radio receiver would not be able to pick up that signal.
    And we were talking about situations where the emitter and the receiver would talk the same signal language: there are myriads of ways to encode a message in a radio signal.

    what if the radio signal frequencies we use cannot be heard by any other civilization other than earthlings?

    Yes, it's possible. But you know, if intelligible civilizations exist, they can filter out those frequencies and modify them to a comfortable level that they can hear. This was already done by human scientists, who captured the sounds of the universe and converted them into something that we can hear. We are a class 2 civilization, so if any other class 2 civilization exists, they can do the same.

    Reminds me of krishna asking brahma when he came to meet him which brahma are you?

    Brahma questioned the Lord thus, "Why did you ask which Brahma had come? Kindly tell me the purpose of such an inquiry. Are their other Brahmas besides me in this universe?

    Krishna smiled at Brahma's words and in meditation called all the Brahmas from the infinite universes. Immediately unlimited Brahmas arrived with their various numbers of heads. Some had ten, some twenty heads, fifty, a hundred a thousand, some ten thousand, one hundred thousand, some ten million and one hundred million. Their was no counting the number of heads.

    Also arriving from each universe were the various manifestations of Lord Shiva with unlimited heads, and King Indras (Zeus) with thousands of eyes on their bodies.

    Beholding the unlimited opulences of Krishna and feeling dwarfed by the manifestation of other Brahmas, our

    What if they don't want to respond? Had you watched the 3 Body Problem, Netflix series, there's a reference to an Einstein Joke. Ye says it to Saul just before she leaves for China.
    In short Einstein goes to heaven and felt bored - he wanted to play the violin. An angel warned him NOT to do so and said that God is a Saxophonist. Then Einstein heard the sound of a saxophone. Einstein didn't heed to the warning and started playing the violin. God appeared kicked Einstein's balls and broke the violin into pieces.
    The angel came and said... We warned you. "Never play with God"

    The hidden meaning is if you advertise yourself in the Universe, there's the possibility that you get attacked. Alien races do not broadcast to advertise their position because they don't want others to find out where they are thus preventing any chances that they might get attacked.

    You might be correct. It reminds me of alert system in Mass Effect, where we have to be aware of Reapers (the enemy civilization, destroyer of planetary inhabitants). If we go far beyond safety limits of universe, reapers will begin to follow and attack us.
