Bill Nye's Answer to the Fermi Paradox

[Lint Head]

19. I postulate that it could "possibly" be sound frequencies below

20 Hz and above 20,000 Hz. Which would be above and below the range of human hearing. Even radio waves down to the microwave frequencies of 1 Hertz and above 300 Hertz that communication could be possible between Interstellar beings.

Has it now been proven that basically everything vibrates at a particular frequency. Though the very slowest things in existence such as the movement of the earth which can be felt or an earthquake. Also the movement of a growing plant creates a movement though infinitesimal. Any movement would create a wave in the air though extremely slow that has the potential to be heard by instruments that have maybe not been invented as of yet.

I know that there is no such thing as silence. At least not complete silence. But only silence that we perceive as silence. I've also heard or read that a sound created actually never really stops. That it continues on into space in one form of the other. Such as television broadcasts, radio broadcast and even electromagnetic fields created by wires and cables. It does sound preposterous but I know these theories have been postulated previously and considering for every action there is a reaction it would seem to be true on some level.

If these vibrations could be detected by us and possibly a civilization more advanced we could eventually catch up with each other. But the fact that if there is life on other planets that that life could have come into existence evolved and died off before any such signal can reach that vast expanse of space. I love to think about these things though I could never actually comprehend them.
