Rumour has it that the russians have detected alien intelligence 67 light years away & this has been confirmed by seti & The results of this will be announced at the big science conference in mexico on the 22 .
Now my understanding of the universe is that nothing except for the universe can travel faster than the speed of light so even if they left now it would take them longer than 67 years to get here .
I would think that the biggest affect that it would have would be on religions .
How would it change life on our planet ?
