Astronomer Explains How SETI Searches for Aliens | WIRED

[@surabhi_kumari]

She talks so gently and patiently that I could listen to her for hours .

[@thatdutchguy2882]

Great credo 👍.

[@Peanutdenver]

She is really dialed in and makes great sense. More people should adopt her exact attitude about what lies beyond earth and what life might/is like on other planets.

[@PenisMcWhirtar]

I could also look at her shirt for hours - it's a really meditative, contemplative design that matches the seriousness of the person wearing it.

[@saionduttaroy7172]

She could be my therapist and I wouldn't have any problem with that.

lol that went on my ig story

[@conneroneill8506]

You misspelled yas. Go buy a selfie stick.

[@raspas99]

And then she says that we should send out signals because she believes that aliens are good. No observational data, no reliable and repeatable experiments, just a belief. And that does not have any relevance I have to agree:D

[@thzzzt]

@@raspas99 Well, maybe not a belief, but a reasonable assumption. ET has made it way past our current level without destroying itself. For humans, that outcome is still very much in question. Given that, which side would you feel safer with? Rather, I think signaling is kind of naive --to think that they would actually answer. BTW, we've been signaling anyway, ever since the invention of radio.

[@formworksucks]

@@thzzzt How many, if any, other alien civilizations have they destroyed? Tricky subject, we should be careful and not send out primitive radio signals. It will demonstrate to any hostile creatures our helplessness.

You're fooled, she's not intelligent at all. If she was, she would know the alien start all over the planet Earth. And she doesn't know that she is a plant. She somebody put in front of you to fool you with a bunch of words salad to make it look like.

There's life, there has to be. It's insane to think otherwise.

[@Jesse-cw5pv]

It's not insane tho. You should watch 'cool worlds' video on why we might alone in the universe. We really don't have any idea how likely life is to start. If it's like 1/10^40 chance then we're probably the only ones in the observable universe. If it's 1/10^10 then there might be a few per galaxy. We just don't know the odds of bio genesis occurring.
