Episode Synopsis

Ever wondered why we're not picking up intergalactic chatter from E.T. and friends? First off, the vastness of space means signals from potential extraterrestrial pals might be traveling for light-years before reaching us.

Then there's the space static, like cosmic interference messing with our celestial radio reception. It's a bit like trying to have a phone call during a thunderstorm – lots of crackles and pops. So, while we're eager to hear from our cosmic neighbors, it seems the universe is playing a game of "radio silence" for now. 🛸📡👽
