Is SETI those guys listening with radio telesopes for life signs and did not get the memo that pr definition every solar system by definition has a astronomically large and ultra power WIDE-BASE RADIO NOISE Generetor in them, you know, like the. Sun? Any radio signals moving in and out of solar systems are essentially scrambled leaving ours and entering say wherever E.T. go home? Strikes me as a little problematic to overpower or filter the by far largest and most powerful radionoise generators: For example our sun us so much bigger and powerful than anything we could begin to compete with, thus making listening with radio for radio that bears hallmarks life of being guaranteeed to fail using that method?

Im asking for a friend, me, myself & I.

One question one could ask is whether these huge radio signal generators called Suns are themselves some kind of intelligence. While this was a popular concept in the past it would blow peoples mind today. Fortunately for the average mind there is currently no indication of this being the case so either SETI succeeded in ruling it out or SETI failed in finding the intelligence signal.
