ET Will Phone Home Using Neutrinos, Not Photons
KentuckyFC writes "Neutrinos are better than photons for communicating across the galaxy. That's the conclusion of a group of US astronomers who say that the galaxy is filled with photons that make communications channels noisy whereas neutrino comms would be relatively noise free. Photons are also easily scattered and the centre of the galaxy blocks them entirely. That means any civilisation advanced enough to have started to colonise the galaxy would have to rely on neutrino communications. And the astronomers reckon that the next generation of neutrino detectors should be sensitive enough to pick up ET's chatter."
We'll learn precisely what kind of chemical product aliens use to enlarge their penis.
Can I assume they'll need galactic warrants for these cosmic wiretaps?

Does this mean I have to leave my computer on running Neutrino@Home listening for Extra Terrestrials while destroying my home planet?
all we would have to do is see who's buying a lot of dry cleaning fluid?
Everyone knows ET used trees, the wind, some string, a coat hangar, a record player and a speak'n'spell to communicate.
Duh.
