LONDON - Writing, rather than phoning, is probably the best way to contact extraterrestrials, American scientists said Wednesday.
So instead of phoning home, it could have been more energy efficient if E.T. had inscribed information and physically sent it, because radio waves disperse as they travel.
�Think of a flashlight beam,� Professor Christopher Rose of Rutgers University, who reported his finding in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature, explained in a written statement. �Its intensity decreases as it gets farther from its source. The same is true of the beam of a laser pointer, though the distance is much longer.�

I'm a scientist and have worked for NASA. I don't know anything more than the rest of you. If anything, its more socially acceptable to contemplate ET life, so the curious, scientist, are asking and pondering more openly. It cracks me up when "scientist" are part of some massive conspiracy. We are just like everyone else, except instead of doing accounting or engineerings, we research.
