Radio Signals from Deep Space
Question
I understood that there are thousands of radio signals being picked up at some Kennedy center,
half of them over and over again the same thing and from the same places (?) outside the Milky Way.
Does that mean that somewhere there are human-like beings and they’re also trying to transmit to us?
Is that plausible?
Answer
I haven’t heard about this. But even if it’s true, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re humans. They would be some kind of intelligent beings.
Discussion on Answer
I don’t see any practical difference, except that if they’re Jewish, you could count them for a minyan.
Another question:
Does the Rabbi think there would be any practical difference for us as Jews if there is extraterrestrial intelligent life?
