...universe, said he could use radio wave observatories currently being built in Australia to detect radio waves from space. The finely tuned observatories, which consist of thousands of radio towers, are carefully arranged to sift out radio waves from television, radio, and military broadcasters on Earth, giving them the unprecedented capability to search for these common radio wave types lightyears away without any interference. Loeb explained that the “Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence” program, commonly known as SETI, has done similar searches but has not been able to search for the most common radio wave frequencies...
