SETI scientists are hypocrites.

Don't ban this post let me say what I have to say.

Scientists in my opinion should be ready for every possibility including the aliens are already here. In the last 80 years evidence of that is pretty clear yet SETI scientists refuse to study anything related to it.

There are many photos and videos of beings and crafts before the AI did they study them ? No

There are mass sightings like Philadelphia lights where craft the side of the city was seen by thousands of people, how something like this doesn't get their attention I will never understand

Crop circles have been appearing regularly for decades, crops are braided like rope and there is evidence of radiation. There are many man made crop circles but they can be easily identify.

Thousands of people from all countries have said they been obducted but NHI giving the same details no matter age, gender, race, religion and long before internet and globalization and Aliens becoming mainstream

And there are whistleblowers like David grush and Bob lazar talking about extraterrestrial beings and crafts

Instead of ignoring this mountain of potential evidence SETI should study sightings and experiencers and demand truth from the governments. That's all I have to say.

The Fermi Paradox has been asking the wrong question for 70 years — not Where, but When. Here's why that reframing matters directly for SETI.

The standard Fermi Paradox asks where everybody is. This essay argues that's the wrong question. The meaningful question is when — not where. Built on planetary formation timelines, the geological record of mass extinctions, the physics of light speed and time dilation, and confirmed exoplanet data.

The SETI relevance is direct:

The Four Planetary Stages framework — Prebiotic, Biotic, Sapient, Technological — gives SETI a developmental classification system beyond the current binary habitable/uninhabitable assessment. The Technological Stage represents the brief, flickering window during which any civilization becomes detectable at all. Understanding where a planet sits in that sequence changes which targets deserve priority attention.

The Three-Clock System — measuring Raw Planetary Age, Biological Age, and Extinction Debt simultaneously — demonstrates that raw planetary age alone is an insufficient metric for assessing biological potential. Two planets of identical raw age can be at completely different developmental stages depending on their extinction histories.

The silence SETI observes is not a mystery. It is the expected outcome of a universe running countless biological clocks simultaneously, none synchronized with ours.

Let's assume the closest technological civilization is 1.500 light years away, also on the "outskirts" like we are (not in the Galactic center).

Taking into account our current capabilities in terms of SETI, is there any hope at all that we could detect anything artificial from that planet in two scenarios (plus some other questions):

- First scenario: more than 1.500 years ago, they had already developed radio telescopes and were able to look at our atmosphere and determine that there is life here. What would this say about their technology? Are we able to detect our own planet in terms of biosignatures if it were 1,500 light-years away? Would we know, in the present, be able to detect any radio signals that they may have been continuously sending (maybe sporadically) from their home planet?

- Second scenario: they never cared about us or never found out about our planet. But they did develop powerful planetary radar and maybe even some "primitive" Dyson swarm. Would we be able to detect the Dyson swarm? And if the Dyson swarm was made of components that interacted with each other and those communications caused radio leakage, could we detect them if we knew something weird was going on with the star and decided to point our telescope in search of radio signals?
