Wow. You seem too casual about insulting a large body of work with which you are not familiar. If you are serious, then you CANNOT have competently examined the two Example Images, i.e. Section 1.3 and Section 1.4, on page 4 and page 7, in the "Look inside" link for the book! I'll give you...

But they are now SEEN to be NOT few and far between. See post #7.

If you haven't read post #7, yet, please do. It seems like there have been a lot of pessimistic estimates that have been offered, by many who have considered the Fermi Paradox. I now think that their pessimism might have stemmed from the fact that they knew of no evidence of ETs, therefore they...

I too wondered how their image quality might be expected to vary with time. I used images from Hubble, Herschel, and Planck, if I recall correctly. I believe that they included visible, infrared, ultraviolet, and radio wavelengths. Some areas, where much star formation occurs, experience dust...

Thank you for responding. You might be right, at least partially. I did kind-of rush the material into publication, in a somewhat raw form and with almost no analysis or commentary, because I mainly just wanted to quickly make others aware of the existence of the artworks, once I thought that I...

This author is quite familiar with pareidolia, sir. This does not involve pareidolia. The proof is conclusive. Apparently, someone has not examined, or has not examined well-enough, the thirty-six preview images and the two detailed, explained, officially-sourced example images, for which...

From the looks of it, there are a LOT more than "dozens" of intelligent civilizations, in our galaxy. It still blows my mind that no one else has ever even bothered to just simply LOOK, with their eyes, for signs of the extraterrestrials! The evidence that the extraterrestrials purposely put...

My only suggestion would be to go for the largest diameter you can get. Everything else can be added on later. Put all of the available money into getting a scope with the largest diameter mirror you can get. Definitely do not choose a 90 mm (3.5-inch) over a 4.5-inch. If you can afford a...

That signal from Proxima Centauri is interesting. I have been interested in SETI, on and off, for much of my life. I have been working in the military electronic warfare field for the last dozen years, as a civilian electrical engineer, so I even know a little bit about RF. I wish there was...

They are definitely out there. I recently solved the Fermi Paradox and published a sampler edition of a forthcoming book, showing about four hundred samples of the hard evidence I have found. I just haven't publicized it at all, yet. So basically no one knows about it, so far. It turns out...
