Can the messages that we send to distant galaxies in search of extra terrestrial intelligence reach us far in the future? Just wondering if the signals can go through some wierd tunnels of time and come back to us again say a thousand years from now. Like an echo.

into the darkness an endless flight
a million flashes of delight.

Sure why not. It's all theory until some looses an eye.

Whatever the case, you won't find any intelligent life in the Lounge.

In the future, we will receive the broadcasts of Rush Limbaugh and Al Franken and be amazed at the intelligence.

an alien race is going to be receiving those signals and won't interpret them but deem them pollution. then they will destroy the pollution at its source.

Don't ask.
-"I don't believe in God. "
"That doesn't matter. He believes in you."

-"I'm not agnostic. Just nonpartisan. Theological Switzerland, that's me."
