Imagine if there were really smart aliens out there who wanted to talk to us from super far away.

How would they do it?

First, I have to say that if they truly are really smart aliens, they would probably want nothing to do with us.

We've not really been model representatives of the human race lately, much less Earthlings

in general.

Then again, maybe that's what makes us attractive to them. They see us for the idiots

we are, which might explain why they travel here with their spaceships and instead of take

us to your leader, they're going with take us to your sphincter.

For some reason, anal probes seem to be their chosen mode of first contact on a fairly regular

basis, but I digress.

Let's pretend aliens haven't arrived yet, or even know we exist, just for the

sake of this argument. Let's assume that they can't travel faster than the speed of light,

nor can they send messages that fast either.

Not even T-Mobile can promise that kind of speed and connectivity, no matter how cool 6G sounds

like it might be.

So then how might E.T. communicate with us? Not being able to overcome the speed

of light would make things tricky, and until we capture an Anunaki with his crashed Nebiru spaceship

to interrogate for his travel technology and

Garmin Universal GPS, we have to rely on our own scientists for theories.

Scientists at CEDI, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, are trying to find out how our

extraterrestrial pals might go about reaching out to us from a distance, and they've come up with a theory

they call shelling points. Now, despite sounding like a corner of your dinner
