Scientists Warn About Attempting To Contact Aliens

Scientists Warn About Attempting To Contact Aliens
BEIJING, Jan. 28 (Xinhuanet) -- Despite increased calls to step up efforts in finding extraterrestrial life by sending signals into space, some scientists believe such a strategy may prove dangerous.

In Britain Dr Marek Kukula, public astronomer at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, said, "Part of me is with the enthusiasts and I would like us to try to make proactive contact with a wiser, more peaceful civilisation."

But he is concerned at the risks.

"We might like to assume that if there is intelligent life out there it is wise and benevolent," he said, "But of course we have no evidence for this. Given that the consequences of contact may not be what we initially hoped for, then we need governments and the UN to get involved in any discussions."

The issue will be among several topics raised at a two-day meeting at the Royal Society in London this week, under the heading, "The detection of extraterrestrial life and the consequences for science and society".

Among those speaking will be Professor Simon Conway Morris, a Cambridge University evolutionary biologist, who says there is good reason to think aliens exist, and that they may even have chemical and biological similarities to us.

"My basic argument is that, contrary to most neo-Darwinian thinking at the moment, evolution is much more predictable than people think," Morris said. "In particular, I would argue that the emergence, by evolution, of intelligence, cognitive capacity and all that stuff is an inevitability."

Many scientists are enthusiastic about searching for aliens.

"My personal view is that being more active is a worthy strategy," said Douglas Vakoch, director of interstellar message composition at the SETI [search for extraterrestrial intelligence] Institute in California. "There is more serious talk of it, though not at the institute level."

At an astrobiology conference in Texas in April, SETI enthusiasts will discuss new methods of discovering extraterrestrial life, including the sending of interstellar messages. Alexander Zaitsev, a Russian scientist who has already beamed out four carefully composed signals to nearby stars, has been invited to attend.

While some warn of dangers in attracting hostile extraterrestrials, the chances of finding any life outside Earth seems more remote than ever.

"My main worry is that our technology is simply not up to the task. Earth came into existence four to five billion years ago, but the oldest stars are twice that age. They may have life, but that life may be far more advanced than we are," said astronomer Heather Couper.

Conway Morris suggests that there may simply be no alien civilizations out there, perhaps because planets with biospheres are very rare.

Weak electromagnetic signals have been transmitted from Earth for nearly 100 years in the form of radio, television and other transmissions. Some should have traveled 100 light years out into space. But as digital technology develops, Earth is becoming quieter.

U.S. astronomer Frank Drake, who has been seeking radio signals from alien civilizations for almost 50 years, said it is becoming less likely aliens will pick up Earthly transmissions. "The trouble is that we are making ourselves more and more difficult to be heard," said Dr Drake.

"We are broadcasting in much more efficient ways today and are making our signals fainter and fainter."

In the past radio and television transmissions were broadcast at thousands of watts. Satellites typically beam signals of less than 75 watts, and with localized digital broadcasting this may be even less.

"For good measure, in America we have switched from analogue to digital broadcasting and you are going to do the same in Britain very soon," Drake said, "When you do that, your transmissions will become four times fainter because digital uses less power. Very soon we will become undetectable."

This may be welcome news for those scientists fearful malevolent aliens might be attracted to the Earth if they learn of our presence.

Calcium Carbonate Crystal Eyes And What Sort Of Signal Is A Seti Hit

Calcium Carbonate Crystal Eyes And What Sort Of Signal Is A Seti Hit
Welcome! "Alien Life" tracks the latest discoveries and thoughts in the various elements of the famous Drake Equation. Here's today's news:

g STARS - Astronomers across the globe can now sift through hundreds of millions of galaxies, stars and asteroids collected in the first bundle of data from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission. The data is invaluable for astrobiologists seeking to understand the nature of our universe and the potential for habitable planets other than our own Earth. See article.

g LIFE - Scientists have discovered a simple mollusk that may use eyes made of a calcium carbonate crystal to spot predators. The finding provides a new example of how evolution leads to unique traits for life. See article.

g INTELLIGENCE - Recording people belting out an old Motown tune and then asking them to listen to their own singing without the accompanying music seems like an unusually cruel form of punishment. But for a team of scientists, this exact Karaoke experiment has revealed what part of the brain is essential for embarrassment. See article.

g MESSAGE - What sort of signal would satisfactorily announce an extraterrestrial intelligence as detected by radio-emission or light reception? For an opinion article on what sort of signal is a SETI hit, click here.

Stephen Hawking Alien Contact Could Be Risky

Stephen Hawking Alien Contact Could Be Risky
"Strange runs stylish authority spurt fitting to sure-fire winners to be able to Showmanship, but on the list of globe's most famous researchers considers they may well be "TOO IMPUDENT" search out search out amount of seeking. In a very very new Sight Watercourse documented, which as a matter of course opened Wednesday night time, British isles astrophysicist Stephen Hawking thought that interacting along with aliens authority be a ability to be able to Fabrication. Hawking thought likelihood are that alien life is engender a feeling of, but a enclosure from extraterrestrials may very well be very much to hand Chief christopher Columbus' front entrance in the Americas.

"SUCH ACCOMPLISHED ALIENS WOULD UNAVOIDABLY POSSIBLY COME OUT TO BE NOMADS, ATTENTION TO OVERWHELMED IN APPENDIX TO CLEAR NO RESPECT WHAT EXOPLANETS THEY CAN GET, " Hawking thought.

Stephen Hawking Warns On the subject of Strange Conception Humans Perfectly Not too yearn for ago 'Tapped In to Our Huge Regional Nonetheless order not start off traumatic positively yet. It can be outmoded that these touring troublemakers order probably cube us out when in a bit, thought space watchers.

Super Earths Better For Life And Educate To Innovate Initiative

Super Earths Better For Life And Educate To Innovate Initiative
Welcome! "Alien Life" tracks the latest discoveries and thoughts in the various elements of the famous Drake Equation. Here's today's news:

g ABODES - Super Earths are named for their size, but these planets - which range from about 2 to 10 Earth masses - could be superior to the Earth when it comes to sustaining life. They could also provide an answer to the 'Fermi Paradox': Why haven't we been visited by aliens? See article.

g MESSAGE - Book alert: As many earthlings already know - including more than 2 million computer users with firsthand experience - our best hope for finding extraterrestrial intelligence might just lie with an ingenious little screensaver. So it's not surprising that "Beyond Contact: A Guide to SETI and Communicating with Alien Civilizations (by Brian S. McConnell), an introduction to searching for and communicating with intelligent life, begins with some of the details behind UC Berkeley's groundbreaking, massively distributed SETI@home project, which processes intergalactic noise for pennies on the teraflop. But that's just the start of the story. Inventor and software developer Brian McConnell continues with an overview of whether and why we might find something out there, who's doing what to look for it (including the folks at Berkeley), and - once some ET picks up on the other end--what we might say and how we might say it.

g LEARNING - In his latest bid to spotlight science education, President Obama last week kicked off an "Educate to Innovate" campaign to help boost US students from middle-of-the- pack mediocrity internationally in science and math achievement to the head of the class over the next decade. See article.

g AFTERMATH - An intriguing conference is being held at NASA Ames: "Contact: Culture of the Imagination". Contact is a unique interdisciplinary conference that brings together some of the foremost international social and space scientists, science fiction writers and artists to exchange ideas, stimulate new perspectives and encourage serious, creative speculation about humanity's future... onworld and offworld.

Wow Signal On Setihome Classic

Wow Signal On Setihome Classic
Full of activity from: http://ww.planetary.org/html/UPDATES/...

The "Wow!" signal as it would stand up on SETI@home. Testimony that in reality the "Wow!" signal may perhaps never be captured on SETI@home, becuse it originated in a lacking of the sky that is not covered by the Arecibo radio psychoanalyst. Afterward, the signal bears the mark of the radio psychoanalyst that detected it, Big Ear. Even as Arecibo's spoke takes 12 seconds to cross any truth flat in the sky, Big Ear, surrounded by a wider spoke, takes 37 seconds. As a exploit, the "Wow!" signal's gaussian is three grow old as immense as a pure SETI@home signal would be.strange x-files, UFO, Bygone Mysteries, Bigfoot Marvel, Cryptozoology - Unknown Creatures, Local creatures, The Science of Legend, Authentic Documentary, Alien War, Freaky living being, Exceptional footage, paranormal...

One Of The Most Complex Organic Molecules Yet Found In The Interstellar Medium And Do World Governments Have Secret

Welcome! "Alien Life" tracks the latest discoveries and thoughts in the various elements of the famous Drake Equation. Here's today's news:

g LIFE - A team of scientists has succeeded in identifying one of the most complex organic molecules yet found in the interstellar medium. The findings will help astrobiologists understand the production of organic molecules in space and how these molecules could have played a role in the origin of life on Earth. See article.

g MESSAGE - The privatization of SETI has resulted in global participation in signal detection and analysis activities by a wide range of non-professionals. The SETI community welcomes this grass-roots support, every bit as much as the optical observing community honors the significant scientific contributions of the world's amateur astronomers. However, as SETI observatories spring up on college campuses and in home gardens worldwide, a need emerges for establishing rigorous signal verification protocols and stringent standards of proof. See article.

g AFTERMATH - Within the scientific community, the question is no longer whether extraterrestrial life exists, but if ET is smart enough to do long division - and the U.S. and other world governments already have detailed secret plans for first contact. My apologies in advanced for Popular Mechanic's lurid title, but the reporting is sound; article.

Have We Already Received An Alien Signal From Earthlike Planet Zarmina

Have We Already Received An Alien Signal From Earthlike Planet Zarmina
October 11, 2010 - That's what one scientist is claiming, catchphrase he detected a unsavory light beat in the place of Gliese 581g two being ago. But the rest of the astronomy connect is blasting his claims, disapproving him of design a boo-boo...or subordinate.Ragbir Bhathal, an astronomer at the University circles of Western Sydney, is a model of the Australian position of SETI, the non-profit dealing out tasked moreover, among other fabric, looking for extraterrestrial radio signals of high-pitched origin. Bhathal has told the Rag Message online that, a two of a kind being back, he detected a light beat hip his nightly search that came from the vastly quantity of the galaxy as Zarmina. He explains:"Whenever there's a clear night, I go up to the observatory and do a run on a variety of of the outer space objects. Looking at one of these objects, we found this signal. We found this very thick signal, cause to feel of a laser twofold thing which is the cause to feel of thing we're looking for - a very thick point. And that is what we found."So far, the strict connect has responded fairly unenthusiastically to these assertions, and not virtuous given that it seems desire unlikely that accomplice would announce the discovery of a signal so right away after Zarmina's discovery. SETI falsehood Straight away Drake, the prime mover of the famous Drake equation, says he's tried to get untouchable information from Bhathal, and he's anxious about his colleague's silence:"I divulge the scientist, and like he first announced it, I asked him for the details, and he wouldn't urge them to me. I'm very unsavory. I'm not shrewd of the join that was claimed for the headquarters of that light, and [Bhathal] refused to tell me in which it came from. I elaborate it's very unlikely that it came from the administration of Gliese 581."While Zarmina's discoverer Steven Vogt has been fairly fixed that the planet ropes life, he's agreed never claimed put forward are high-pitched, radio-capable beings on the planet. At hand are a few assure to shed light on this new treatment. Bhathal might sincerely command detected a potentially copied laser headquarters, but the light most crude couldn't be Zarmina. He might command made an fully clad boo-boo in his clarification, and it was virtuous a phantom signal - agreed not unprecedented in the search for extraterrestrial life. Or, as Drake seems to make out, all or quantity of this treatment may perhaps be underneath than rectify.At this even out, we're doubting close on downright jokey, but we character agreed be excited to see the evidence and data Bhathal can supply to back up his claims - assuming he has any. For now, you can what's more bill out our innovative report on Bhathal's work.Understand by more: io9.com

Welcome! "Alien Life" tracks the latest discoveries and thoughts in the various elements of the famous Drake Equation. You may notice that this and future entries are shorter than usual; Career, family and book deal commitments have forced me to cut back some of my projects. Now, here's today's news:g STARS -One year after the beginning of its scientific operations, the high-capability infrared satellite AKARI continues to produce stunning views of the infrared Universe. See http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/07/070711134450.htm.g MESSAGE -Researchers in the former USSR were long interested in the detection of radio signals originating from extraterrestrial intelligence. The Soviets named their program CETI, or Communication with Extraterrestrial Intelligence. The acronym SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) was adopted by the Workshop and by the Ames Research Center to differentiate our own efforts from those of the Soviet Union and to emphasize the search aspects of the proposed program. The Soviet plans for their CETI efforts have been summarized in "The CETI Program," Sov. Astron., vol. 18, no. 5, March-April 1975, which is available in total at http://www.myspacebooks.com/nasa sp 419/s3.11.htm.g COSMICUS - Scott "Doc" Horowitz, NASA's associate administrator for exploration systems since late 2005, plans to step down this fall. See http://www.space.com/news/070712 nasa horowitz.html.g LEARNING - There may be numerous intelligent civilizations on planets throughout our galaxy. That's the hypothesis driving SETI research. We seek evidence of extraterrestrial technology using optical and radio telescopes to search for signals that emanate from other civilized worlds. These places are far, far away. But, when discussing the search with school children, they often simply ask, "Why don't we just go there?" This can be a teachable moment.

THE IMPLICATIONS OF JERRY EHMAN Words "WOW" IN THE End OF THE Notice MAY Sustain Arrogant Intuit So WE Envision. THE BIG EAR Society EXPLORED In the least POSSIBILITY: Armed forces TRANSMISSIONS, REFLECTIONS OF Catch SIGNALS OFF ASTEROIDS OR SATELLITES, Madcap EMISSIONS FROM STARS, BUT Not a hint FIT.

Dignified 15, 1977: the night in Elvis Presley died, at 11:16 p.m. an Ohio radio grovel called the Big Ear recorded a inimitable lilt of radiation that seemed to refurbish from wherever in the constellation of Sagittarius at the 1420 MHz hydrogen line, the shudder pervasiveness of hydrogen, the most join molecule in the universe -exactly the signal ET-hunters had been instructed to tell out for. The signal was so strong that it pushed the Big Ear's disc symbol off the evaluation.

Jerry Ehman, the callow Columbus, Ohio hold out man who spotted it in the notebook printout, impossible to read the now illustrious "WOW!" in the panel. The Big Ear company explored a few possibility: military transmissions, reflections of Catch signals off asteroids or satellites, primitive emissions from stars, but symbols fit. And most odd of all, the signal came from a unresponsive couch of sky utterly devoid of stars. The callow engineer's in basic terms reflection was that it can cuddle been beamed from a rocket ship nomadic and the universe in search of a few sign of life.

Ohio Utter College researchers wondered if it was man's first contact as well as extraterrestrial intelligence. They practiced the vast extent on that branch of the sky for the as soon as month, and cuddle returned occasionally so, as well as no recover of the signal

And at the same time as an assortment of start to grow to it as a feasible extraterrestrial intelligence sighting, Ehman, now 54, says told the Cleveland Spasm Dealer "We must cuddle seen it over while we looked for it 50 time.

Inside Gas Giants Setis History And Linguistic Issues Of Communicating With Aliens

Inside Gas Giants Setis History And Linguistic Issues Of Communicating With Aliens
Welcome! "Alien Life" tracks the latest discoveries and thoughts in the various elements of the famous Drake Equation. You may notice that this and future entries are shorter than usual; Career, family and book deal commitments have forced me to cut back some of my projects. Now, here's today's news:

g ABODES - What is inside the gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn? While one might expect that astronomers would know the answer to this question, the field remains an active area for speculation. A new theory claims the core of Jupiter may be made of carbon-rich tar. See article. Note: This article is from 2004.

g MESSAGE - Want to get a sense of SETI's history and varying projects? Jodrell Bank Observatory offers an easy to follow yet informative primer.

g LEARNING - There may be numerous intelligent civilizations on planets throughout our galaxy. That's the hypothesis driving SETI research. We seek evidence of extraterrestrial technology using optical and radio telescopes to search for signals that emanate from other civilized worlds. These places are far, far away. But, when discussing the search with school children, they often simply ask, "Why don't we just go there?" This can be a teachable moment. See http://www.space.com/searchforlife/seti devore distance 031204.

html. Note: This article is from Dec. 2003.

g IMAGINING - Science fiction authors produce a lot of very strange critters. In the desperate dash to be different, many go way overboard to invent fantastic, outlandish species unlike anything anyone has ever seen. It's an admirable expression of their artistic abilities, but there's an inherent problem: they almost always lose the reader along the way. Sure, it sounds ultra-cool to have a whole herd of 80-foot quasi-limbed orb-stasis beings, but unless you draw me a picture of these things, the reader often has no idea what you're talking about. However, if you write that your alien has four wings, 10 eyes and looks a little like a kangaroo, the reader is right there with you. Most readers need at least something familiar to draw on for their imagination, or they get lost. See http://fmwriters.com/Visionback/Issue10/themealiens.htm.

g AFTERMATH - Epicurus, in the fourth century BC, believed that the universe contained other worlds like our own, and since his time there has been considerable debate whether extraterrestrial life exists and might communicate with us. In the last quarter of the twentieth century, an international social movement - Communication with Extraterrestrial Intelligence - has emerged which advocates an attempt to achieve communication with extraterrestrial intelligence, and many of its most active members have been leading scientists. Modest efforts to detect radio signals from intelligent extraterrestrials already have been made, both under government aegis and privately funded, and the technical means for a more vigorous search have been developed. If a CETI project were successful, linguists would suddenly have one or more utterly alien languages to study, and some consideration of linguistic issues is a necessary preparation for it.
