Could it be possible that one of the reasons it's difficult to detect aliens' transmission is we're at a different relative time flow from other alien star systems?
We know that time is relative, and a distant star system might be moving faster or slower in space relative to our solar system which could throw our clocks out of sync relative to one another.
Could that possibly make their radio transmissions frequencies stretch (if the alien solar system is moving faster) or contract (if they're moving slower) which makes them unrecognizable from cosmic microwave background radiation? Or time dilation doesn't impact electromagnetic radiation frequencies?
