Course to search for aliens

The University of Edinburgh (UK) expects to enroll thousands of students in a course to teach how to search for aliens.

Edinburgh University has partnered with a number of leading research institutes in the US to open a series of online courses on aliens, including Introduction to Astrobiology (Introduction to Astrophysics) and Search for Extra-terrestrial Life (Searching for alien life).

Students at Edinburgh schools are trained to find aliens

Participating in these sciences, students will learn about the origin and life on Earth, as well as the possibility of survival on a certain planet in the universe. In addition, students are also taught basic photography skills, so they can capture sharp images in the event of detecting an unidentified flying object in the sky.

Dr. Charles Cockell, professor of cosmology at Edinburgh University, said on Daily Mail: 'More than 2,000 years ago, ancient Greeks asked whether life existed in another world. . This course will introduce students to the basic knowledge of cosmic creatures, the origin and evolution of life on Earth, as well as the possibility of survival on other planets. '

In the courses, students will also discuss with experts the following questions: Is it possible to find alien creatures? How will people on Earth communicate with aliens? and Who will represent the Earth in contact with strange creatures?

The course of finding alien creatures will start this month and last for 5 weeks. Study time in 1 week is 4 hours, including 1 hour of lecture, 1 hour of discussion and self-study. It is expected that thousands of students will enroll in this course.
