... In the first page of this chapter, Eddington computes an effective temperature of 3.18 K, but this has nothing to do with the 2.725 K blackbody spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) . Here is a quote of what Eddington actually said: . ... We shall first calculate the energy density of this radiation. ... It is clear that Eddington's model fits the optical data, but that Eddington did not anticipate either the CMB (red curve) or the interstellar dust (ISD, green curve). ...

It could be that SETI signals have arrived at the Earth, but are lower then the noise level, and our receivers cannot detect them. ... Fig. ... It follows that two zones form around the star with civilization X: "Zone Yes", where its SETI signal can be detected, and "Zone No", where its signals are hidden by noise (Fig. ... In practice, it is more efficient to use a time factor, since the problem of SETI contact does not limit the duration of the signal element and semantic text. ...
