I know this question may be asked a lot but I would like to give you some food for thought. Stars are very far apart and as you all know light from stars is light from the past. We know the stars closest to us must not have life. It would reasonable to assume that our powerful radio signals that have passed stars close to us should have been picked up by someone. Nor have we picked up anyn powerful radio messages from other stars close by. That means that intelligent life must exist very far away. If that is the case then by the time we observe the light from a star that is 400 lya then that society would be in its past and therefore not advanced. Does that assume then that the criteria for naming and advanced civilization advanced is dependent upon breaking the speed of light (which Einstein says is impossible to begin with). Your thoughts....
Do you believe in the possibility of advanced extra-terrestrial civilizations?
