[ExI] Latest Search For Alien Civilizations Detects No Signals

[Ben]

Seems an odd thing to do, looking towards the galactic centre for signs 
of alien civilisations, when we know that it's an inhospitable place, 
due to very reason it's possible to survey 60 million stars: the stars 
are so closely-packed. Rather like the old joke about looking for your 
car keys under a streetlight. It might be easier to look there, but 
surely the most productive place to look would be in the same zone of 
the galaxy as we are, right out towards the rim, where the chances of 
sterilising supernovae etc., are much lower.

I don't think we can read much into this result at all.

Not that I think we'll find signs of alien civilisations anyway, no 
matter where we look.
