So, you're the futuristic version of [MENTION=3325]Victor[/MENTION] ?
As I write, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa are building the world's largest, most advanced and most expensive radio telescope to answer this very question.
Fortunately Australia leads the world in radio astronomy. And creating a telescope that reaches from South Africa, across the Indian Ocean, across Australia, across the Tasman Sea to New Zealand, will enable us peer down the throat of a Black Hole, find out why the galaxies are accelerating away from us, and answer the question: what is the universe made of. And we will be able to listen to the many billions of planets that are more than likely to harbour life, even intelligent life.
We are sure to be in for big surprises.
