I've always assumed that as civilization advances their ability to perform long range scans will improve. But, even if that is a truism, maybe more advanced civilizations find us but don't bother trying to contact us for many reasons.
I'm still of the same opinion as Hawking, there is a greater chance of our first contact to not being a pleasant one. They will indeed be hostile.
If we can just introduce them to Bacon they will be friendly. They will bow to us and give us all their technology and I will be their God. [Reply]

Let the rage go man... Hey, it wasn't me predicting doom by now, that was your goofy group of scientists keeping food on their tables.
I know it's tough to deal with having been wrong, but let the rage go. And if you must use-up some energy, make a meal for some of those scientists so they're less likely to stay on the take. [Reply]
There are 10 times more galaxies in our universe than we'd estimated.
Turns out we were wrong; there aren't 200 billion galaxies in the universe.
It's more like 2 trillion.
Yes, TRILLION!
That's the latest from NASA, which announced Thursday the number of galaxies in our observable universe is 10 times higher than previously projected.
This revelation was possible, thanks to that font of discovery -- the Hubble Space Telescope.
