Why We Might Be Missing Extraterrestrial Messages

About this episode

What if extraterrestrial civilizations are already transmitting signals—but we can't recognize them?

New research suggests that turbulent stellar activity may distort radio messages, spreading them across frequencies and making them nearly invisible to traditional searches. These findings could reshape the hunt for intelligent life and reveal that the universe is far less silent than it appears.
