    The short explanation:
    1. No we are NOT alone. The human race is one of the youngest sentient races in the Universe.
    2. Not likely. The human race is too primitive for Contact to be worthwhile, but still a curiosity because we are so unlike other alien races. All other alien races never went through a Self Destructive phase.

      The "Wow!" signal is exactly what should be expected when both sender and receiver are on rotating planets in star systems that are moving at terrific speeds. You'd probably get a brief signal that didn't repeat because you'd rapidly move out of alignment and the signal would no longer be directed toward you. And at interstellar distances signals are incredibly weak.

    Aren't sidewalks, lawns, roads, and buildings like an alien species in an environment? Therefore, should human migration and spread be minimized or eliminated so as not to harm an environment?

    In the movie Contact 1997, Jodie Foster intercepted and decoded an alien message that gave us the plan on how to build a time travel machine. The technical plans in the message was encoded in the track between each frame of video. So the government built one (two actually). And Jodie went somewhere and talked to the "alien. Great movie!
    What if we encode a message in laser beam pulses, like a morse code with short and long blank spaces between each laser "chunk". That would "identify" them as artificial light. Then the message can travel at the speed of light.
    Then, broadcast the laser message beams from points of the globe to cover the whole universe. Then wait for the "reply"..

If anything is going to announce our position, it will be the high powered radio & TV broadcasts starting 90+ years ago and are still traveling through space 17,000 times faster than Voyager. Even signals sent out by Voyager will forever be 50 years behind early TV & radio broadcasts.
      Voyager's main function was to get people interested in science, the universe etc & exactly like you say, it did that beautifully. It truly was fantastic reality TV.

    Uh, we don't understand how self-replicating molecules form, but we're pretty sure it's common throughout the Universe? Wouldn't it be more accurate to say we don't understand how self-replicating molecules form and so we have no idea how common life is throughout the Universe? We don't know! While it might be true that life originated early in this planet's history, our current understanding is that all life on Earth originated from a single source. That means, regardless of when life here originated, it didn't do it any other time. And since most of us would consider Earth to be an ideal environment for life, that fact that life only originated once here would seem to contradict the assumption that it is a common event.
    The fact is, we don't understand how life originates, and we can say nothing about how likely it is to originate beyond the fact that we know it's possible. And when you combine that with the fact that, whether you're talking about exploring other planets or the SETI program, we've yet to find a shred of evidence for alien life, life in the Universe might indeed be very rare.

    ago? Or that we would die of a common cold, and be eaten by Tigers ?

    came in during the last 12 hours of the year, but life in other worlds
    could have been existing for six months. WELL ... how capable would some
    of those intelligent beings be by now THEN !? I think we all need to
    face the fact that what we don't know or understand yet, is why THEY DO
    NOT WANT US TO KNOW THEY'RE THERE ! Or why they may have to wait for us
    to confirm to ourselves that they are there, or reach some phase of
    development, and that they have always been there even before we were
    here, waiting for us to realize that without needing to prove it. In
    other words, a 180 degree turn around from how we think of it today.
    There's nothing to discover or prove. We are either their plan, their
    intention, their monitoring, their offshoot, their children, their
    workhorse, their thing they do or created for whatever reason... we just
    don't know. They're either watching, or waiting, or using us, or
    raising us, but what we do know is that the situation is reversed to how
    we are thinking about it. None of these guys factor in the exponential

    An article in the September 2018 Scientific American makes a compelling argument for the conclusion that we're probably alone in this galaxy. For example, we have a n unusually powerful Van Allen belt and a truly unsual big Moon--the the result of a collision between Earth and a Mars-sized planet over 4B years ago. That collision gave us a thinner crus--which became the Moon---and a thicker Iron/niickel core; toghether those enable plate terctonics, stabilize Earth on its polar axis, prevents space radiation from sterilizing our planetary surface and from the surface getting weather too violent for advanced life to exist. Plus the discovery and mapping over 320 planets in nearby solar systems shows that our configuration is unique among them, further lowering the likelihood of an Earthlike planet out there. I'd love the galazy to be full of intelligent life, but it's becoming clear that we understimated how unusual Earth is. Too bad we're destroying it, because thrre's no Plan B out there.

Its moon is like our moon very big. So for 2 planets dwarf or what not in 1 solar system to have that probably suggest that the big moon is much more common then you think. your whole thing revolves around the Moon being rare.

    How would we react to knowing that humans are the only sentient life in the universe? What would be more incredible, that we are alone or just one of many?

      Very fond memories of my own efforts. I built a dedicated gamer CUDA capable machine for the purpose of achieving the most production for the least power home PC on the planet. Fanless platinum power supply, smallest cpu chip capable of driving the game boards. I ganged two motherboard powered NVIDIA GT-650s with two wired EVGA GT-650s.
      The results were good. Mostly it just sat their all day crunching numbers. It produced about 100,000 credits (cobblestones) per day drawing about 250 watts. Over a year or two I had accumulated enough total credits in all the BOINC associated projects to rank in the top 99.98% on the planet. Tens if not hundreds of millions cobblestones. Then I upgraded one of the NVIDIA gamer boards and crashed the entire system. I was the only guy in the county who had ever manage to gang up four parrallel CUDA boards and even I could not set this mess straight. So my system has gone dark.

    If, as he said, computers catch up to human intelligence in about thirty years (now about twenty-five), will they be able to form intent and if so, what will their morals be like? Will they take over machinery and make more of themselves? Interesting...
