Is it possible to find an alien civilization?

SETI is the most popular public project, with several million people in hundreds of countries participating voluntarily, networking with each other, sharing information in the hope of discovering and understanding civilizations. extraterrestrial.

Whether they have achieved success? Russian expert Alexander Uvarov made the comments.

In 1609, Galileo Galilei saw a starry sky through a telescope. A year later, this famous astronomer was bogged down in the orders of the king and the nobility who wanted to look up at the universe through his "strange" glasses.

Already 400 years have passed, astronomers today have had the opportunity to look at the most remote corners of the galaxy, but they have never found a small trace of extraterrestrial civilization. In the last 5 decades, yearning to meet the same 'brothers', a project, called SETI, attracted over 5 million people. All the members' strangled their ears to hear the signals of alien creatures that emitted space, but so far have not gained any reliable data.

Currently, some scientists believe that the SETI project made a mistake based on certain photographs taken from the universe to maintain a vague belief in the existence of hidden "neighbors". . They have no basis to guarantee that other civilizations also use frequencies like SETI. The waves accidentally discovered 50 years ago are not necessarily standard for internal communication in the galaxy.

The project team receives hundreds of letters every day.

The SETI project is purely based on the enthusiasm of those who believe that they will achieve results in the first year. However, no scientific hypothesis has been confirmed that such a method is true. The project management board does not care about that basics but just continues to listen to the universe in a strangely patient way and waits for something almost hopeless.

Is there someday thanks to SETI for discovering an alien civilization? Pravda newspaper asked that question to Dr. Alexander Uvarov, a radio astronomer, a senior expert at the Radio and Electronics Institute to share his views. He said:

"The latest research shows that in theory the signals of extraterrestrial civilization are easy to recognize. The existence of SETI for many years without obtaining any results shows the method is wrong.

Currently, there are many other techniques that can help us discover life outside the planet. For example, through a characteristic marker present on strange planets can also prove the activity of living organisms on it. I think it is necessary to go in a different direction, not the direction that SETI has been for so long. I really want to put hope in the SETI project, that it can bring surprising findings about its current ways. The most modern technologies that exclude recent newly created interruptions may play an important role in the SETI project. These technologies are being implemented and most likely allow them to hear messages from other civilizations'.

What is SETI and how does it work?

SETI stands for the Search of Extraterrestial Intelligence phrase proposed by the University of California Space Laboratory, mobilizing tens of thousands of computers to network together via the Internet, use special software to analyze the radio signals that some civilization in the universe sent to discover extraterrestrials.

They built a lot of antennas around the world to catch radio waves everywhere, attracting 5.2 million people to join in the hope that at some point, there will be people. Find strange signals, to detect alien "people". They often communicate with each other through a common network to exchange their ideas, experiences, new discoveries and also many successes . missed. But SETI members still do not lose faith, like religious followers.
