| Dec 31, 2020 at 23:12 | comment | added | RonJohn | @ChrisStratton take that up with OP. | |
| Dec 31, 2020 at 23:03 | comment | added | Chris Stratton | Nope... Again with the magic | |
| Dec 31, 2020 at 23:03 | comment | added | RonJohn | @ChrisStratton many current Earth humans know that you can't travel faster than light, and yet these space aliens have done so. | |
| Dec 31, 2020 at 23:01 | comment | added | Chris Stratton | Like many current earth humans, they'd know the limitations of dish directionality, and that this is a matter of basic physics, not technical sophistication. The question isn't seeking ideas from the imaginery realm of magic such as you are trying to provide. | |
| Dec 31, 2020 at 22:46 | comment | added | RonJohn | @ChrisStratton interstellar space-travelling aliens know more than we do. | |
| Dec 31, 2020 at 16:29 | comment | added | Chris Stratton | no, it is simple physics that a dish isn't that precise | |
| Dec 31, 2020 at 13:37 | comment | added | RonJohn | @ChrisStratton "Such a dish isn't so precise" that depends on whether or not OP wants the Earthlings to detect the satellites... :) | |
| Dec 30, 2020 at 22:56 | comment | added | Chris Stratton | Such a dish isn't so precise that a satellite in the outer solar system transmitting to one near the earth wouldn't also be illuminating the earth; but anyone wanting to hide would use challenging frequencies and spread spectrum coding schemes that would make it challenging to even someone who knew where to look. | |
