Extraterrestrial intelligence appeared in the next 25 years?

SETI astronomers emphasize that the search for extraterrestrial intelligence will take a big leap forward when a series of Allen telescopes in Northern California go into full operation.

On August 16, at the Scientific Conference of the Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute (SETI) in California, USA, the Institute's astronomers predicted that extraterrestrial intelligence could "reach" the Earth. within 25 years.

Mr. Seth Shostak, SETI's senior astronomer, emphasized that the human opportunity to recognize extraterrestrial intelligence is very positive.The basis of this forecast is the Drake equation set up by Frank Drake to calculate the number of extraterrestrial civilizations that humans on Earth can access.

This equation takes into account many factors such as the rate of star formation in the galaxy, the number of stars with planets, the number of planets that can be accommodated, the number of planets that can grow life, including the number of planets. can develop intellectual life, the number of civilizations can have technology to transmit information about their presence into the universe, the time when those signals are transmitted .

SETI astronomers emphasize that the search for extraterrestrial intelligence will take a big leap forward when a series of Allen telescopes in Northern California go into full operation.In 2015, this telescope could scan hundreds of thousands of stars to find extraterrestrial intelligence signals.

Astronomer Seth Shostak believes that the technological level of extraterrestrial intelligence is lower or higher than that of humans on Earth, but once they receive signals from the Earth, they will not be able to fail. reply.
