So far, we have no method of detecting an Earth in a solar system like we have at any distance beyond the equivalent of our Oort Cloud. So unless we start picking up the equivalent of "I Love Lucy" on a radio telescope, we are blind to them... I didn't realize that. I thought they were only finding suns with a large primary because that's all there was. I didn't realize our telescopic abilities were still that limited. With all the possible planets, I find it hard to believe that we are the only intelligent life in the universe. The possibilites have to be endless given the number of suns just in our galaxy. So why haven't they come calling? ted
