Re: [Utah-astronomy] SETI

What's wrong with the physical mail theory is that the likelihood of the package ending up in any creature's hands, paws, tentacles or gloobuleers (Alpha Centaurian word) is vanishingly remote. Flipping a big light on and off would get more attention. So would a radio beacon. At least someone out there has a chance of looking in the right direction or listening with a large enough receiver. But sending a package into the unknown is like throwing a bottle in the ocean when it's much easier to send a message by radio. Just a thought that popped into my yowscokinog. -- Joe
