    Thank you Mr Churchill, since my physics isn't that comprehensive.

    Hence, I'll revise my theory and say that the best chances of sending a signal outside the local solar system, and off in to space, would be to flood the whole wavelength of the EMS, in order to reach as many eyes as possible.

    Thanks !
    Actually, no.

    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                    Not to mention the odd bit of CMB - you know the old Cosmic Microwave BackGround Radiation - old as the hills that is.

                    Much older - about 14.5 Billion years or so -sorry if youre the non-Gaussianity type.

                      Not necessarily.

                      Morrison's are selling "High velocity torches". It was a straightforward torch with an on/off button and nothing else.

                      So it must be the light coming from it that is "High velocity". Better than your rubbish "Low velocity" light.
                      If you read the best 3 books in any subject, you'll be in the top 5% of experts in the world.
