SETI研究员赛斯.肖斯塔克打赌说我们会在接下来的24年里找到外星生物，否则他就免费请你喝杯咖啡。在TED的加州圣何塞拍摄点，他解释了新的科学技术和概率学规律是如何证明寻找外星人很可能有重大突破的-- 也预测了如果发现一个比我们先进很多的文明会对地球造成什么影响。（TED加州圣何塞拍摄）

赛斯.肖斯塔克：外星人（可能）真的存在 -- 请准备好

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
