You know Scientists get desperate when…
… they use a social networking phenomenon to say that aliens are contacting us.
Granted, Mail online isn’t exactly known for Pulitzer material, but still:
While any ‘lost in space’ messages wouldn’t exactly be restricted to 140 characters, as on the website, a study suggests ET is more likely to send out short, directed messages than continuous signals beamed in all directions.
The reason?
Because alien civilisations are likely to strive to limit waste and make their signalling technology efficient.
Thank god for Twitter. We have finally found a medium for aliens!
