The mission of the SETI Institute is to explore, understand and explain the origin and nature of life in the universe and the evolution of intelligence.
What is life? How does it begin? Are we alone? These are some of the questions we ask in our quest to learn about and share the wonders of the universe.
At the SETI Institute we have a passion for discovery and for passing knowledge along as scientific ambassadors.
The SETI Institute is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit scientific research institute headquartered in Mountain View, California. We are a key research contractor to NASA and the National Science Foundation (NSF), and we collaborate with industry partners throughout Silicon Valley and beyond.
Founded in 1984, the SETI Institute employs more than 130 scientists, educators, and administrative staff. Work at the SETI Institute is anchored by three centers: the Carl Sagan Center for the Study of Life in the Universe (research), the Center for Education and the Center for Outreach.
If they have built dyson sphere in space will it not effect gravity between sun and alien species planet . Let the mass of sun =500000 Let The mass of Dyson sphere=500000 Add both values=1000000 kg with this will not effect their own planet questions need to asked.
Let me just elaborate Dyson sphere means we are watching type 2 civilisation harvesting its energy from its own Sun ☀️ Type1 civilisation: where we can use full energy from earth resources for our energy utilisation and for our needs Type 2 civilization:means Dyson sphere structure for energy harvesting Type 3 civilisation : means we can use Galaxy stars . Even black hole etc. Above there are type 4 type 5 type 6 are been classified depend upon energy utilisation of any civilisation.
This video was so helpful and informative for me. I like how he explained in detail about The Titan. Ralph Lorenz gave me a better understanding of Science.
Not every alien civilization is going to be advanced in the cosmos I bet there is millions of civilizations that are still in their early stages of advancements
The real explanation will probably turn out to be dust. There was a lot of hype like this about Tabby's star several years ago. Surely a Dyson sphere would need enormous amounts of refined material (metals, semiconductors, glass).
Awesome mission, Europa & Titan & Enceladus are most intriguing moons in our solar system. Quick question why is dragonfly not designed have buoyant floats to land on liquid?
Great interview! I have not yet seen the paper by Davide Sulcanese on the new Venus results. I missed the live stream. I would have asked whether the analysis he did can rule out changes in the rest of the 16% of Venus that has the two images in the same look direction with Magellan.
learning from the literatures and fictions we’ve read/seen, _are_ we ready for extraterrestrial civilizations? well sure men in black might exist but we’re talking about something that only appears in star trek/star wars/hitchhiker’s guide
Is this the guy who looked trough Venus images while being bored during Zoom meetings? Happy solstice! Or happy Midsummer for those who celebrate with potatoes and pickled herring! 🙂
"Fragment of an ocean world", that is awesome, fantastic results! Ceres looks like quite the water world too with that white stuff left on the surface. I'm amazed by these people who spend 20 years on a project from beginning to end, that is almost an entire career. Congratulations on getting it to work!
There may be life elsewhere (Europa and Enceladus) but sentient or technological life is another matter entirely. Earth had a collision with Theia that produced the moon, started plate tectonics, tilted Earth to produce tides etc,. etc. The chance of such a sequence happening to a rocky planet in a habitable zone etc. must be low.
the problem i have with dyson spheres is that a civilization that can build such a massive structure already probably knows how to produce fusion energy.. it would be much more efficient to build many small fusion reactors than envelope a star with some primitive "solar cells" for photons when you can go straight to the source of the power.
Thi is is not a joke. This guy joking around not taking time travel as a serious thing. It is absolutely serious. And this grandfather paradox is all nonsense. Was already long explained if you go back in time you end up in a parallel universe, not the same universe you were in past. So doing anything in that universe will not violate any law.
Watching from a small town about fifty miles east of Seoul. I saw a small asteroid or large meteor fly directly overhead on a horizontal trajectory. I just happened to step out of the cabin to take a leak, looked up (it was midnight) and saw an enormous flash with multi-colored flames. I started counting seconds instinctively. About half a second later the same object burst again, halfway down the sky. 120 seconds later there was a very loud sonic boom, followed by a second one soon after. That puts it at 42 km high and about 75 km/second. Like a miracle, that I happened to step out at the right moment, and saw it!
I hope you don’t mind every time. I will stop by your page. I will share the message with you the same message. I will attach to your video when I share it on my Facebook. I have many viral pages all over the place occasionally I share my education with my followers.😅
Is it a Dyson sphere or...evidence of an intelligent civilization that is leaving behind waste heat around their host star as a natural byproduct of exploration and colonization?
Many times, while camping in the woods of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Ohio. During quiet, wind-less nights, I would hear what sounded like small stones hitting the trees. I always wondered if that was meteorites? What do you think? Would sound triangulation work to pinpoint the location? Then, search with a metal detector.
Good closing statement, Pascal (and it was great seeing you and hearing about adventures up in the far north again as well!). I’m convinced that we haven’t the foggiest notion of the surprises that await us as hopefully humanity expands out into the solar system for real; maybe- to paraphrase Arthur C Clarke- not only surprises more than we imagine, but more than we CAN imagine. - Dave Huntsman
