For more than half a century, scientists have been scanning the heavens for signals generated by intelligent alien life. They haven't found anything conclusive yet, so some researchers are advocating adding an element called "active SETI" (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) — not just listening, but also beaming out transmissions of our own designed to catch aliens' eyes.

Make sure to watch the two short videos please, they are really good.
So what do guys think?
Stephen Hawking is against and it and so am I.
I think I'm one of the few people who couldn't give two hoots if we are the only civilisation in the entire universe

What's to say they aren't going to turn on us and take over our planet
.
We can never be sure of their intentions so why advertise where we are
.
It also annoyed me no end that a chart of where Earth is, is inscribed on the golden record onboard the Voyager spacecraft en-route to existing our solar system. Maybe I'm being ignorant and perhaps after reading some comments I might even have a more open mind
.
I realise this can be a highly debatable topic so I ask that you please comment respectfully without personally attacking other peoples opinions so we can have a nice healthy discussion. I'd really appreciate that, so thank you in advance
