Benjamin Dean Astronomy Lectures: New Approaches to Looking for E.T.

Featuring Seth Shostak, Senior Astronomer, SETI Institute

For six decades, a tiny group of scientists has probed the cosmos for evidence of aliens. Is this an endless quest, or could we soon learn of other beings in the nearby universe? We’ll discuss the latest efforts to uncover the extraterrestrials, as well as some disturbing ideas that could change the way we hunt for cosmic company. Also, what happens if we do detect someone or something out there? Would that radically change our own society or merely be an interesting story for a week or two?
