The Drake Equation (Revised)
🕑 Added 2022-09-11 18:41:34 +0000 UTCThe passing of Frank Drake has me ruminating on his famous equation, and revising it by applying what we have leaned about radio in the 60 years since he first proposed searching the skies for interstellar radio signals.

in a way, it's good that we are now more silent. The assumption of good intentions by aliens who just turn up and say 'hi, nice planet' seems rather idealized to me. Just look at our history and the results of people traveling great distances to foreign lands...
Fran, your very insiteful comment about the short life span of RF emissions - replaced by networked digital communications - really got me thinking. Really a brilliant insite !
