“Our galaxy contains two hundred billion stars, give or take. That's a huge number of stars to search through. So the odds are still against Breakthrough Listen detecting anything. Let's say we did the Drake Equation, and came up with a value of, ten thousand civilizations in our galaxy. We’d still have to search twenty million stars before we found one of those civilizations, on average. Breakthrough Listen is only going to listen carefully to a million stars, so it's still not enough. We have to be really patient doing SETI. We could find a signal tomorrow, or it may take ten years, it may take a hundred years. Maybe we’ll never find a signal… but we won’t know, until we look.” Keith Cooper Be careful what you wish for. The Forest is Dark, and full of horrors; for even the most benign catalyst can spawn unfathomable chaos.
