Is Anyone out There: The Hundred-Million Dollar "Breakthrough: Listen" Project

Ғылым және технология

March 15, 2017
Dan Werthimer of the University of California, Berkeley
What is the possibility of other intelligent life in the universe and how might we detect signals from alien civilizations? Dr. Werthimer describes current and future projects searching for such signals, including the new $100-million Breakthrough Prize Foundation Listen project. He shows how new technologies are revolutionizing the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence (SETI). He also discusses the SETI@home project, which analyzes data from the world's largest radio telescope using desktop computers and cell phones from millions of volunteers.

    Hi everyone! I would like to complain about an issue that bothers me now for a while. It has nothing to do with the video that you're watching, but still might be off your interest. I am a fan off you tube and watch quiet a lot of videos and the ones I don't watch straight away, I save in my "watch later" list. In this list used to be a button called " remove watched videos", which since a while has vanished! It used to be very useful and I strongly recommend to you tube to bring it back!! If you should feel the same as me, please copy and paste this in as many comments as possible and who knows, we might get what we want after all! Thanks for your time and participation!!😊

    I propose we might have a hard time finding the frequency they're transmitting on because, like on Earth, standards established aren't always logical. If the first two civilizations in the galaxy that found each other did it on an oddball frequency, rather than the water hole, then they'd each use that frequency for ALL of their transmissions, and every civilization since would do that. Adoption of a bad interstellar standard could hide them from us for several thousand years.

    A bit like listening to the radio to find out whether life exists in Africa. If we do pick up radio signals it will probably either be from a civilisation that has moved way past the idea of the speed of light being a limiting factor in communicating, and has already visited earth, or one that has blown itself out of existance.

    It would make more sense to transmit a signal over vast interstellar distances using shorter wavelengths as the beam divergence from coherent electromagnetic radiation is proportionally less. Signals from ordinary omnidirectional radio transmission artifacts would not be heard over interstellar distances because they would be so weak that reception would be at impossibly low signal strengths . As a transmitter highly collimated LASER's would be ideal for interstellar distances because of low beam divergence at vast distances. The visible spectrum is noticed by animals that have existed since the Cambrian Era over half a billion years ago on Earth. Also such signals could be detected and even received by far more primitive civilizations as Alexander Graham Bell's invention of the Photophone which could receive optically modulated analog signals was in the year 1880 A.D. When we look at more advanced optical telescope facilities in the 20th century an artificial LASER signal sent by an alien entity from a interstellar source if noticed would have attracted much attention to it. What would be a good choice for transmission. Digital signals or analog.Maybe both at different times to a distant planet. How about analog music at first that would be like telling others that we are here. Just my opinion here.

    The answer to the Fermi Paradox.There is a beautiful loving Universe many people claim they experience when they are undergoing an NDE. Long before any Advanced Civilization gains the technology necessary for Interstellar Travel - they find a way to escape to that Universe. In other words, it is technologically easier to get to that other very pleasant and safer place, than it is to develop the Type II Civilization Technology necessary for Interstellar Travel. This explains why we have found no sign of an Advanced Alien Civilization anywhere in our Universe.

    We could well be the only superintelligent species in the Milky Way. Our way of life is the product of a scientific and mathematical revolution that began with the work of Copernicus and the discovery of algebra, both in the 16th century. Once algebraic notation was completed (1620) and the telescope was invented, progress became quite rapid. But getting to the 16th century required more than 4.5B years. I have no idea how to answer the question of how rare superintelligence is in other galaxies.

Personally I’m much interested in questions of holographic data storage and encryption, not just using one frequency or channel but across the whole spectrum... encoded in pieces... over-charged highly efficient transmission, effective at probing through the obstacles presented by (space)environment And installing quantum telegraph prototypes on current deep space satellites, building relays at Lagrange points...

    While Drake's equation points to intelligent life, how about the probability of any life at all on these exoplanets? There are several places in the Solar System that life, other than Earth, could exist. Could we find evidence of any life, including microbes, at all in these places? The Mars experience is so far disappointing, I would hope that more thorough investigations can be carried out soon for Mars, Europa, Titan, and Enceladus to enable us to answer this question -- is it possible that life, in whatever form, exists in habitable environments, other than on planet Earth? I worry about this because so far artificial creation of living cells from non-living matters has not been successful, despite numerous carefully engineered trials by many relentless biologists. If we also cannot find even microbes in other supposedly habitable environments in the Solar System, coupled with the lack of response to SETI, then these strongly suggest that something very likely must have happened, unique to Earth, at a single peculiar moment, which resulted in life here, but cannot be copied anywhere or at any other time in the Universe. This could mean that life on Earth would then be the only life-form in the entire Universe.

    Do you know how you can copy, manipulate, and past messages. We attempt to point a telescope at an advanced culture I'm sure they've erected some cloak or field displacement for us to see an uninhabited galaxy or solar system. Life develops rules and it's only fair when we are able to talk to others with the same technology level. I could be wrong. There might be life that allows us to observe them but if we could it would give us ideas how to advance our technology before we're ready. If the universe is teeming with life it's also hiding itself imo. For safety purposes. Also, if there were and Alien culture observing us from inside Jupiter we wouldn't know about if for a very long time. The question is if that's true, what is the likeliness of a malfunction that exposes them? I'm sure any sufficiently advanced civilization doesn't let any of their people or technology fail. That's my guess.

I had an oval small dome noiseless UFO sail over my head on down the street as a kid playing outside with other kids in Austin, TX, 1963. It's disturbing. More like a deer frozen in the headlights, only it's daytime. Anyway, sometimes the science approach not only takes time and hard concentration even a little trust in this system that may want to use such things as a system of fear and control. As all religion, we've learned from the past, does. Inspiration is the key that's just the way it is. And I draw mine from documentaries like this, so that I can hope; something science, reason, atheistic, zzz zzz, you know, it just can't do. And dogma & fear are everywhere, even science. It's the best way to go, for sure, if we have half a chance of surviving. But it lacks, the power of the cosmos, the music of the spheres, however you want to frame it, to inspire with great imagination. Hope. Thank you. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pmt5o86Nk72sp7w.html

    Ummm..... first of all because light (incl. radio) is the fastest way that anything can and will be transmitted. Maybe someday some civilization will (or has) exploit wormholes or some other extreme form of travel/spacetime warping but even so they would need to send signals somehow and I don't see any way to do so without light... Even gravity waves travel at the speed of light. Gravity waves are also so hard to detect and so difficult to generate that any civilization would have to use some form of electromagnetism (UV, IR, Radio, Microwave, X-Ray, etc.) WAY before that. Also, banging trashcan lids together would produce sound waves, which are ridiculously slow and easily lost and dissipated. Also trashcan lid banging would release light in the form of heat (IR radiation). BTW, radio is NOT a "peculiar human discovery" and would've been there and would still be there whether we discovered it or not.

    Science pretends to be apolitical at it's own peril!!!!!! Look at what they have done to it in the USA!!! It's nice to imagine that science has nothing to do with politics, but when you cannot afford your equipment because christian conservatives or flat earthers have gutted your funding---- Maybe then it will sink in--- I guess the statement: Science is apolitical is very true. But it's beside the point------ When global warming ramps up, or the world slips back into the dark ages of knowledge, and we cant do real science I think that statement will sound very sacrosanct but hollow... Science can't afford to be apolitical anymore. Scientists should be highly vocal activists. Instead they are seeking a quiet room away from outside disturbances, while their detractors are conjuring up bullshit like flat earth and hollow earth and gaia project, ancient aliens, big foot.... wtf is wrong with people they seem to want something more fantastic than the truth? Something that makes them money. ... Scientists AND science, need to start coming up with political and social ideas to save us from capitalism.

    I don't understand how the presence or lack of extraterrestrial life would affect what we should value here. The prospect that there's no other home for sapient beings is frightening, but even if I knew it weren't the case, that if our world died, it wouldn't be lights-out for the entire universe, it wouldn't change how I think individuals should behave. I don't understand how it could.

So if you in a forest and you walk around you will never see other animals. But At night you will "hear them all" We need to send out calls in the night and then listen to who answers.

    Not really, takes 31 billion to stop world hunger. FYI the Christian church evades paying tax that would accumulate to 70+ billion dollars if they were made to pay like everyone else. That's every single year, and only in the U.S too. They could stop the entirety of world hunger twice over with how much they evade in taxes. Imagine how much money they have to own, to have a tax bill that high and no wonder when they never have to pay it. You would need to multiply 100,000,000 by 3,100 to stop world hunger. You would need to take half of what the christian church evades in tax. I have nothing against christianity, other than it's a religion whose morale ethics are just like those of almost every single religion and that is old and outdated.

    That is because if the conservatives ran everything, there would be NO academia.... Don't you realize that we would be in the stone age still without federal funding? You can be offended by the liberal view if you want but the truth is that there would be no more NASA, no space projects, etc. without the Democrats. If all these venues have to obtain their own funding, many will disappear and the others will be charging crazy high fees. Then the same conservatives will be complaining that they're too expensive and are robbing people...

    those who actually like Trump need to be taken care of (not in a good way). I am not American, but the opposition actually got more votes than him, who just won due a very dubious criterium that represents a huge flaw in the American voting system. Majority of Americans didn´t vote to have Trump as president. Very disturbing.

    BTW, I thought the Trump jab was funny. Well, I watched all the youtube golf tournament videos for weeks. Then I watched all the youtube nature docs for weeks. And now it seems that after several weeks I've seen all the decent astronomy/space docs available. Quirky Michio Kaku and somewhat funny NDT (Neil Degrasse Tyson) and the permanently smiling Mr. Filipenko are in many of them. So now I'm watching astronomy lectures---a guy in front of a podium. What did I do with my life before I had a laptop and an internet connection? Oh yeah, there were these things that you checked out from the library called books. Mars looks like the next frontier. Billions of dollars will be spent getting humans there and back. Yes, Olympus Mons and the Valles Marineris are stunning but the really interesting planets (for example, orbiting the Alpha Centauri triple star system) are too many light years away for human exploration---at least for now. Someone please put me in a cryo-sleep chamber and wake me up in 200-500 years when maybe we've figured out how to reach these stars and planets within 20 light years of our watery orb, Earth. I suppose we'll just send A.I. human-like robots to these distant worlds. They don't eat or drink.
