But The Scientists are saying they've picked up a mystery radio signal, "alien" in origin (i.e not man made, but lets be honest, probably not from little green men), heard live for the first time. Probably from a black hole or something similar.

The article says the radio waves could have taken as long as a decade to reach us, it also mentions it is believed they originated 5.5 billion light years away.

Are radio waves not bound by C?
Just because you mentioned 5.5 billion LYs away...

If a civilization were 65million light years away and looking at is, they would see Dinosaurs! Does that mean the radio waves were produced by a civilization 5.5 billion LYs more advanced then us? Maybe they have been trying to establish contact and this is he first time our tech is advanced enough to pick not up! :winkysmily:
