Einstein’s relativity says that light-speed travel would separate in time, people in far-distant locales. Beside the fact that the signal is potentially millions of light years distant, any travel in the real world would hopelessly jumble the time continuum. This is even if the fact could be overcome that light-speed travel increases mass to the approach of infinity as light-speed travel is approached–probably crushing the travelers. Then there are the issues, that goldlocks zones exist, not only within stellar systems, but at the galactic scale, so that life can only arise in our galactic neighborhood on the edge of the Sagittarius arm of the Milky Way galaxy, other locations being hostile to the rise of life and the ability to perceive astronomical phenomena at far distances. There seems to be inductive reasoning here–there must be alien life, therefore, a poorly understood radio signal is probably evidence of the existence of aliens. This is pseudo-scientific clutching at straws.
What a bunch of idiotic nincompoops.
