So [ Gizmodo ] is reporting that Scientists from Pennsylvania State University in State College suggest that we should put mirrors over half of the moon in an effort to attract the attention of alien life…
Wow.. really. I mean, setting aside the very real costs involved in such an asinine project, do they really think that Aliens, who would be worth meeting, have completely missed all of our “advanced” methods of reaching out to them that have been used for years by SETI, but would completely notice the galactic equivalent of compact makeup mirror.
I suppose, it may attract a race of aliens so enamored by their own good looks that they must fly millions of light-years to look at them selves in our huge moon mirror. Of course, one of two things would then happen. 1. they would never bother to make contact with us, since they would likely just sit staring at themselves on the other side of the moon.
2. the sun’s reflection would blind them, hence sending them into a “blind” rage and they would destroy all life on earth.
Hmm, so I guess the real question is are these “scientists” from Penn State really trying to make contact with aliens, or are they trying to waste all of our money, while at the same time furthering their unltimate endgame of complete world desolation.
Just something to think about.
