[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 1060286, member: 175144"] A better representation of how much SETI detection might have covered. [I] But how much of the skies have researchers scoured for such radio signals? Along with his colleagues, Kanodia created a rigorous mathematical framework to analyze past SETI searches. The researchers looked at eight separate parameters, including the amount of sky a telescope searched, the sensitivity of the searching observatory and the power of a potential signal. They concluded that, of the total possible search space in which a signal could have hid, previous SETI searches have examined roughly 5.8 times 10 raised to the minus 18, or about a quintillionth, of the available space, which is itself merely a miniscule part of the huge range of potential bandwidths that scientists could search through.[/I] [URL='https://www.space.com/42184-look-harder-for-aliens.html']Why Haven't We Found Aliens?
