Einstein theories only work when you force gravity to be the speed of light in a vacuum but that doesn't necessarily mean it is the case.

IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT
Not any more! Topology research actually came up with a few novel ways to reduce the energy required to only a tiny bit of negative mass. Very achievable, if negative mass could/can exist.
There's been experiments to validate that gravity moves at light speed, look up the LIGO research for some recent(and very neat) stuff.

umm i find no mention of this at seti.org. was it discovered by actual SETI folk or someone only loosely affiliated or..?
SETI is usually pretty damn cautious about not overhyping any potential signals, so the thread title got me excited... (coincidentally i was also listening to Startalk and they were talking about finding extraterrestrial life heh)

Like hunters in a dark forest.
Not if they started broadcasting at the EXACT SAME TIME WE DID
All civilizations started at the same time in the universe, and all progressed technologically at the same pace.
It's just like a game of MOO

They're locking onto us with their death beam.

there's also the problem that any sufficiently advanced society is going to be using encryption. which is indistinguishable from white noise.
Well the signal itself was received in May 2015 and it sounds like they have yet to do any further observations. Hopefully they can get some eyes on it again soon.

If a warp drive can be made, it's probably an AI that will figure out how to do it.

Star Signals? Sounds like a [REDACTED] is incoming from the SCP

Someone get Watson off the Sword Art Online VR MMO and onto warp drives!
Is there an Three Body Problem thread somewhere around here? Gonna need it when Death's End drops later in September...

I don't think so but you're welcome to make one, especially with Death's End releasing next month. An OT for the Remembrance of Earths Past trilogy maybe? I'd be willing to contribute to the OP. I'd make the thread myself, butI can't make threads anymore unfortunately.
I'll look into making it this week. PM me with any content you want included

Man, knowing there's life out there besides us in this lifetime is what I've dreamt of. closing in on 30, though.....hope life longevity drops before I go.
Damn.
I dreamt about this last night, scientists were baffled about some sort of moving planet they could not identify, it first ate up the moons of Jupiter and then used them as some sort of matrix that inverted the planet, as in, Jupiter ended up having the opposite colors it has now, no one knew if it had any plans for Earth, it was terrifying and exciting.

What normally happens to the natives when European arrived?
Not sad, very fortunate. A type II civilization would see us like an annoying disease and clean this planet with a nanobot swarm, just in case.
If there is some sort of extraterrestrial civilization capable of visiting us, and we haven't been colonized or subjugated, we're probably in some sort of exclusion zone to prevent cultural contamination honestly. We're a warlike species dominated by religious fundamentalists, so keeping us contained is wise.

Slowly acclimating the general population to the idea to prevent mass panic.

A type II civilization wouldn't be this dumb to send a signal which could alert other type II civilizations.
Now I want to read SCP again.
All these space news lately, hope they lead to something cool like aliens and galactic friends
Would you expend the effort, time, cost, etc, nuking an anthill on Mars?
Unless Earth has some unique element the other civilization needs, we're nothing more than a curiosity.
Or they're a species that takes no chances about losing their control of the galaxy and stamp out any planet that looks to be cultivating a species that could eventually spread to the stars. Its a classic sci fi trope.

Dang i feel like the next 10 years we're gonna discover so much more than last 50 years.

It's 95 light years away, so only 95 years old.
Oh, so we're all dead. Cool

If its aliens, that would mean intelligent life is really common.
. ...Which I doubt
But think about it, if its way beyond our tech and only 95 ly away.....thats fucking scary
They would've been here by now

It's okay! A return signal will take another 95 years.
Well, that and hopefully Trump doesn't get a chance to talk to them.

I'm not sure if it would necessarily mean intelligent life is common (and if this big the universe is, it wouldn't surprise me if it were common but the universe again, pretty big)
It could be a matter of being in the right place at the right time. Kinda like the discovery of gravitational waves. Maybe we'll get lucky with this too.

Probably already been here.

Scientists. Most of them? All of them?
The observation occurred in May 2015 but it sat in the data pipeline for some time. Once it was discovered, they then had to analyze it further to make sure it was legit, then write a paper on it, then publish it. Each step in that timeline takes probably a few months to complete, so hence the year long gap between its observation and announcement.
