Research group proposes first system for assessing the odds of life on other worlds

Research group proposes first system for assessing the odds of life on other worlds | Science News | Scoop.it

Within the next few years, the number of planets discovered in orbits around distant stars will likely reach several thousand or more. But even as our list of these newly discovered "exoplanets" grows ever-longer, the search for life beyond our solar system will likely focus much more narrowly on the relatively few of these new worlds which exhibit the most Earth-like of conditions.

Were We Contacted By E.T. in 1977? | David Reneke | Science News | Scoop.it

Story: On August 15, 1977 something unusual happened. The most famous of all SETI candidate signals (it was even mentioned on The X-Files), the Ohio State University "Wow!" signal was detected by a couple of young researchers setting up their equipment in a rented shed. Over 30 years later, after more than 100 follow-on studies, it remains an intriguing unexplained phenomenon.

Hawkling prefers another possibility: that there are other forms of intelligent life out there, but that we have been overlooked. If we should pick up signals from alien civilizations, Hawking warns,"we should have be wary of answering back, until we have evolved" a bit further. Meeting a more advanced civilization, at our present stage,' Hawking says "might be a bit like the original inhabitants of America meeting Columbus. I don't think they were better off for it."
