Moving stars around! Gawd, what are these guys thinking? On a similar matter concerning SETI, this organization is pissing in the wind. They are wasting their time and money searching for a modulated radio signal transmitted by an alien intelligence. Don't they know (high-school physics) that a modulated radio transmission diminishes dramatically with distance traveled. There may be a fraction of a femto-watt left from a million watt signal to detect after after traveling a light year or two through dust, gas and whatever else is in space. Try detecting a femto-watt against a background of universal noise. It is a bit like trying to find a burning candle on the surface of our sun. It can't be done. And a modulated coherent laser is just as useless for galactic communication. Where would you aim a laser? As for man colonizing something outside the solar system, that aint going to happen either. The reality is that man is simply too mentally and physically fragile for a multi-generation trip anywhere; not to mention the problem of staying alive on a hostile planet.

Maybe when an abstract artist dies here on Earth, his/her soul goes up, up in the sky where ETs wait for them and give them different tasks, for ex. to move stars and make some beautiful shapes to signal us that we are not alone. That's it! I'm going to dig a big big hole, fill it with water and try to catch a neutrino. And then I'll know. The truth is everywhere around us we just have to find it. Yes, a yoga master told me that while we were contemplating the meaning of life. On this level of sophistication you move stars just for fun, or as an act of art…star-art or black- hole-art.

It turns out that Jesus was a yogi and any yogi can do that and anyone can become a yogi. Since this is Man's fully developed state, and I doubt if we are the only intelligent beings in an infinite universe, it seems that there might be beings out there somewhere who are at that state or were or are involved in a program to develop that state. If being able to do the things Jesus did incluce the ability to move mountains, then why not planets and stars? Sounds logical to me. Do search for "yogic flying."

The most powerful signal we have sent was that 50 megaton fusion bomb the Russians set off. The most powerful signal we will see from an alien intelligence will be something like a million light year long beam being used to sterilize an area of space whose inhabitants have a different view about religion or something.
