There's been some talk recently about SETI (listening out for signals from non Earth intelligent life forms) and beaming out signals to shout about our existance here on Earth. Some say we shouldn't shout about our existence in case the aliens are dangerous...
Who's right?
I know a couple of spaceships have been sent with plaques and discs (records) with information about the Human Race.... but should we beaming out our house number and postcode to any creature with the intelligence enough to hear us?
I mean, what if the alien was similar to a t-rex, but with a hugely developed brain, and a carniverous appetite to match - oh and a planet saving need for carbon based fuels and H2O?!!!
or just murderous intent.... it only takes them to catch Bruce Willis in the bath or asleep, and we're doomed!
