Why does alien intelligence hold such fascination? Can we even conceive of what they might be like? To appreciate intelligent, sentient life in the universe, right now we have only one data point: ourselves. We would love more. Is it realistic to suppose we will find intelligent aliens?
Jill Tarter is the former Director of the Center for SETI Research at the SETI Institute.
Douglas Vakoch is the Director of Interstellar Message Composition at the SETI Institute, as well as the only social scientist employed by a SETI organization.

Unless in our literal backyard, everything is too far away in space and time to hear aliens talking.
We already know another intelligence exists. We recovered a craft in Kingman AZ May 1953.
Why is intelligent life always found in the “United States“
@@alyuksel348 We've got the best trailer parks for the 'probing'. LOL
@@alyuksel348 who says there wasnt anything found in other countries?
lol how does a craft travel the speed of light and crash in the usa conspiracies are an American phenomenon they all crash in the usa how convenient
It seems to me it is more likely that more advanced living beings should discover us before we discover them. There is an immense amount of time for a more advanced being to have evolved to the extent that they could perceive us. It is likely that in a relatively short period of time, maybe 500 years, we will have the ability to reach out ourselves and make contact with intelligent beings, perhaps even in other galaxies. People object that it is not possible due to the universal speed limit being the speed of light, and the distances are just too great. I see this as less of an obstacle of getting around in perhaps 500 years than it was 200 years in the past at speculating about the possibility of going to the moon. Going to the moon was thought of as impossible, and that made sense. After all, we didn't even have wings like a bird. Today, at least, we have ideas like worm holes that could lead us to having the ability to travel vast distances without being bound by light speed limit. We simply underestimate how much things can change and how much they do change with technology and time. I do find it somewhat troubling that more advanced beings in our vast universe have not reached out and made contact with us.
Yes. And still undetected, oddly enough. Why? We don’t get to play with the “big kids” until we can play nice.

Okay, I like that better than it being our body odor.
Thanks, guys. That was a hoot.
Apparently CZcams doesn't think i have the intelligence to figure out how to turn on/off close captioning
You are a dog. CZcams must take that into account.
We don't have to look to space too find other intelligent beans. Theres lots of them in the aminal kingdom here on earth
We are not alone.
might it be possible to send communication back through dark energy expansion of space?
It's like asking for the truth and someone asking why do want the truth.
The truth about about our universe is good enough on it's own as justification for wanting to know it.
We want to know the truth about our universe because it's the truth about universe.
...It is awesome & amazing if you think back to Mans knowledge how far we have come, in a very short time. The things we have as yet to discover, respectfully, Chuck,...captivus brevis...you tube...Blessings...
Sospecho que estamos desesperados buscando inteligencia alienigena porque , como van las casas aquí, en la Tierra no hay.
Lol, she started off quite apprehensive 😅😅😅. She probably thought it was gonna be one of those interviews.
We search for intelligent life because we must, just as we try to increase our intelligence and improve our lives, we try to find others who are doing the same. At this point in Earth's evolution, intelligent people realize that we are limited. We will not find it here. We have to look elsewhere.
If they exist, likely not all of them are more intelligent than humans.
Human's default thought is always assuming that all ET are smarter than us.
"We found one! It's 20 light-years away! Let's send a message! "
"Hello, our alien neighbors!"
...40 years later...
"GLLEP SNORF FLETGY."
"Sorry, didn't get that... what were you saying? "
...40 years later...
"GLLEP SNORF FLETGY!"
... everyone from the original message is now dead....
finding intelligent aliens helps determine how life and intelligence develop in universe?
... because of the time involved... billions of years for life to evolve... 🙄
A plausible explanation for Fermi's paradox: AI destroys advanced technological civilizations! This is what might happen to us. Chronicle of a death foretold.
The universe is in the galactic measurements and because of this
I believe it is best to advance within the perimeter using a nuclear power engine with a built-in satellite and laser that can be sent to its destination and stop on target and open up and use its electric magnetic proportion system to direct it around in the facility to search for life.
A human lifespan energy drive is only 60 years or more humanity would need to start building spaceships that can support generations of humans and other biological systems to overcome galactic years of deep space radiation rain and radiation clouds and storms and tornadoes because when raw radiation comes into contact with a spaceship it begins digesting things especially if it's forever out in deep space carrying warm bodies, but my point is without the right protection for the outside perimeter and the inside lining, everything inside would begin emanating radio waves and begin slowly disintegrating things under that much pressure.
For better bubble protection. Paint made with magnetic dust and cement made with magnetic dust and wallpaper made with magnetic dust all clothing and furniture have to have a little magnetism to help maintain a constant geometry of flowing magnetism all around the inside and to help keep the radiation out and to protect the electrons inside our bodies.
This might be an old one.
The architects of our own ancient technology present a challenge to replicate with our current tech, and the data of that history would have earth riddled of several million years of ancient infrastructural evidence. All we have is pyramids, which is the evidence.
We are more than one kind of civilization. We were supposed to advance our spiritual evolution, thus progressing to technological advancements and material technologies... what happened?
Religion.
Considering how quickly humans developed species-erasing nuclear weapons, technological intelligence may be the "great filter" everyone talks about. 😢
Why is film alien: covenant 2 not already here. David will be the main character of it. He might do what the engineers decided to do: extinguish the human race.
Because it is just a fantasy, just like almost everything you post.
@@tomjackson7755Of course it's a fantasy, it's a movie. What a dumb comment.
@@digitalfootballer9032 LOL I know it is a fantasy. You seem to know it is a fantasy He asked why hasn't it happened.
I agree you made a dumb comment with your attempt to troll.
4:22 is true. Bible as an example, you can make it into whatever you want - it can be a tool, or can be made into a weapon. Even scientific data, can be interpreted in many ways, either favoring nihilism/atheism, or as an expression of the omniscient and omnipotence of God.
Non Human 👉👽👈 Intelligence?
Why look for a dumb one?
Frank Drake equation to fund alien is N igual exfpfefifcl. Guys shows fundamental alien It is NOT Science proceendings. But show rubbish sentences keep out Frank equation .
Gibberish. Try using English next time. Or even your native tongue.
Seek Truth in Jesus not in "aLiEns"
Your shift key seems to be broken, along with your thinking.
@@tomjackson7755Someone made a reference to religion...better cry about it.
@@digitalfootballer9032 Someone made a comment, you better troll and whine about it.
SETI has failed miserably, how about you talk to a scientist from SCU ?
