How aliens with ‘right technology’ could hear us on Earth | WorldNews
Advanced aliens could hear humans on Earth despite being light years away, scientists have suggested – if extraterrestrial life exists, that is. Did you know that humans have been unintentionally transmitting signals into space for nearly a century? Experts think if there are intelligent aliens on nearby stars with advanced technology, they could detect life on Earth through leaked radio signals and other transmissions from our day-to-day lives. From radio and television to radars, these high-frequency signals can reach space. Most recently, mobile phones have also contributed to the leakage. How was the study conducted? For the study, scientists from…
