Is it possible that somewhere in the myriad starfields of the universe, other intelligences as sophisticated as our own exist? For thousands of years, humankind could only wonder. But science and technology now offer us the opportunity to conduct a search for such cosmic company.
For the first time, we can actually hope to answer questions that previous generations could only ask:
- In a universe so vast, can we really be alone?
- Is the life we have often thought of as a miracle simply a statistic?
- If others are out there, are they also thinking about us?
- Will we encounter them someday?
- What will it mean if and when we do?
Have you ever stopped to really consider the implications?
"At the very least," says Dr. Seth Shostak, "we should be prepared for the simple fact of finally knowing that we're not alone."
