Re: are we alone in the universe?

I'm jumping into this thread a bit late, but I have to ask....

What would it matter if we find other signs of life? If we do find any other signs, they'll almost positively be in some form of non-natural radiation (ie decodable radio signals, etc). However, if we do find anything like that, it will have come from so mind-bogglingly far away, that our 1E350th children probably wouldn't even meet them.

Yeah it'd be cool to know we're not alone, but in the end, you end up knowing no more than when you started. Just that someone up there has got a big radio.

Dave
