Can 'touch' aliens in the 21st century

Scientists have predicted that people will be able to meet and reach aliens in the next 100 years.

And the task of governments is to start preparing for this "clash" now, the leading physicist Jocelyn Bell Burnell said at the Euroscience Open Forum taking place in Dublin, Ireland.

'I believe that we will catch the signal of another life in the universe, even very intelligent creatures in the next century. But how prepared are we for that event? Have we thought about how to approach them? Will we confine them to the zoo? Eating meat or bringing democracy to them? ' , Ms. Jocelyn raised the issue.

The scientific world predicts people will be able to reach
alien life in the next 100 years.

According to the female Professor from Oxford University, it is likely that we will find extraterrestrial life in gravel planets with atmospheric carbon dioxide and ozone. Another question she posed is that if we suspect alien life, should we 'show up' before them. And if the scientists discovered aliens, who would they spread the news to first - the Press, the Prime Minister or the Pope?'Those are the questions that we have to start to think about.'

However, Professor Jocelyn also believes that, even if there is a discovery of extraterrestrial life, people still have to wait a decade to be able to 'chat' with aliens through radio waves or magnetic lasers Earth. The reason is because nothing can move faster than the speed of light. So our message will only go one way and it takes 50-100 years to reach them.

According to DailyMail, an earlier poll showed that nearly half of the British population believed that aliens existed. One-third of respondents believe we should actively seek and try to reach out to ET.

However, the scientific world itself is still divided about whether we should 'advertise' or introduce ourselves to other residents in the universe. Some argue that if the aliens are hostile, people will face the risk of being invaded and life on Earth will end.

Even physics genius Stephen Hawking has warned that aliens can land on Earth to hunt for resources.
