Peneliti SETI Seth Shostak bertaruh bahwa kita akan menemukan makhluk luar angkasa dalam 24 tahun ke depan, atau dia akan mentraktir secangkir kopi. Di TEDxSanJoseCA, dia menjelaskan mengapa teknologi baru dan hukum peluang membuat terobosan ini menjadi sangat mungkin -- dan memperkirakan bagaimana penemuan peradaban yang jauh lebih maju dibandingkan peradaban kita dapat mempengaruhi kita di Bumi. (Difilmkan di TEDxSanJoseCA)

Seth Shostak: Makhluk luar angkasa (mungkin) ada di sana -- bersiaplah

New technologies and an explosion of planetary data have made the search for extraterrestrial intelligence dramatically more powerful. Experiments now scan the skies 100 trillion times faster than when the search began, and nearly every star is thought to host planets. The odds of detecting alien life in the next twenty-four years are higher than ever. Such a discovery could shake our sense of uniqueness and inspire new generations to see science as an adventure.

Alien Discovery Is Closer Than Ever Thanks To Science’s Leap
