The signal isn't destroyed though. So one could argue that isolating it in the noise is doable with enough math.

Obviously the real limit is still distance since we'd need a radio dish like the size of earths orbit or something to pick up a signal weakened from many lightyears away.

    Probably with virtual telescopes, smaller receivers arrayed throughout the entire solar system, like EHT but biiiiiiiigger

    Of course, astronomers find the Oort cloud and want to turn it into a telescope! Figures.

    oooh, such a cool idea. I imagined the array in orbit around other planets' Lagrange points but scattering them in the Oort cloud is way excitinger
