    far more advance than we are. We have been using radio for a century or so. So for us to find aliens less advance than we are they would have to be between 10 to 100 years less advance than us. On the other hand the aliens could be billions of years more advance. That is a far bigger space. So the odds are the aliens are far more advance.
