Note that Earth cannot be the brightest object in the system, as that would require coming up with more energy than the Sun produces -- continuously. In any case, consider the following line of logic: 1. certain microwave bands which are used to communicate more information farther are brighter than the Sun 2. The quest for open EM frequencies and more power (remember the 5 watt limit!) still goes on, with a very high rate of competition. 3. Eventually a noticeable percent of the frequencies used by man will outshine the Sun. The number and width of frequencies also continues to grow. Parallel line of logic: 1. People are predominantly diurnal. Thus, Terran EM emissions vary with time of day, season, and other purely arbitrary *LOCAL* factors. Therefore, the Sol Systems' EM radiation levels vary noticeably at (to an unsuspecting alien) apparently random intervals. Now, what are the Super-variable stars that are currently giving the astronomers and physicists headaches? Quasars and Pulsars! Why? Because Quasars and Pulsars *RADIATE EM PATTERNS WHICH ARE HIGHLY VARIABLE IN CONCENTRATION, CONTENT, AND DISTRIBUTION, AND APPARENTLY VARY RANDOMLY AT RANDOM INTERVALS!* Working from the likelyhood that Earth will continue to radiate more EM in more range and with more power, *ENENTUALLY EARTH WILL APPEAR TO BE A QUASAR OF SORTS!* Maybe we've already found some of the other intelligent races in the multiverse and just don't know it! BTW, does anyone remember how much EM Trantor put out??? orstcs!richardt "It's not a treatise on political thought, it's a *COOKBOOK*" <-- source it!
