Do Alien Civilizations send signals? Dr. Claudio Maccone has worked on a mathematical way to look at signals, perhaps far more efficiently than anything used before by searching the broadband. It’s called the KLT, and may well lead us to the detection of a signal from an alien civilization. Want to support the channel?
