Alien Signals from Galactic Center?

#1

Post by ThinkerX »


Given the radiation and other issues throughout the galactic core, my vote (not that it counts) is 'NO!'

I also doubt aliens are at the core also.
But a perfect place for all types of RF to be generated.

Not exactly the optimal place for life.

Similarly the phony signal from M13 in the 70's. Not enough metallicity for life nor the right combination of elements + too much radiation from nearby stars.
