Encrypted From E.T.: Are Aliens Hiding Messages in Space Noise?

The provided text explores the intriguing hypothesis that extraterrestrial civilizations might be sending us encrypted messages that we are currently unable to recognize. It highlights that while space is filled with natural cosmic noise, some phenomena like Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) could potentially be artificial signals. The author suggests that advanced alien societies would likely use sophisticated encryption methods, similar to human technology, to disguise their communications as background noise or utilize mediums beyond our current detection capabilities. This raises the critical question of whether our current listening methods and technologies are inadequate to decipher such highly coded alien transmissions, implying we might be missing crucial information due to our technological limitations or a narrow search paradigm.
