  • Berkeley Chief SETI Scientist Dan Werthimer discusses the possibility of intelligent life in the universe and how Earthlings could detect other civilizations. Dan presents the new $100M Breakthrough Listen project, as well as the SETI@home project, which analyzes data from the world's largest radio telescope using desktop computers and cell phones from millions of volunteers.
    Dan Werthimer was in the Homebrew Computer Club with Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak; everyone in the Homebrew Club became ultra-rich except Dan. Dan is currently chief scientist of SETI@home, Breakthrough Listen, and several SETI programs at the University of California, Berkeley. Werthimer also directs the Center for Astronomy Signal Processing and Electronics Research (CASPER), and is associate director of the Berkeley Wireless Research Center (BWRC). Werthimer was an associate professor in the engineering and physics departments of San Francisco State University and a visiting professor at Beijing Normal University, the University of St. Charles in Marseille, and Eotvos University in Budapest.
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    • @dizzyspinner648
      @dizzyspinner648 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      The "Wow!" signal is exactly what should be expected when both sender and receiver are on rotating planets in star systems that are moving at terrific speeds. You'd probably get a brief signal that didn't repeat because you'd rapidly move out of alignment and the signal would no longer be directed toward you. And at interstellar distances signals are incredibly weak.

      It wasn't SETI who sent out. I think it was a UN or a US initiative. In any event, the hyper extraordinary energy required to travel and communicate between stars is highly unlikely to have arisen from a combative rather than a collaborative enterprise, so I would suggest that any advanced civilization which choses to contact us is about 90% more interested in assisting us than eating us, though more like 95% more interested in ignoring us.

    In the movie Contact 1997, Jodie Foster intercepted and decoded an alien message that gave us the plan on how to build a time travel machine. The technical plans in the message was encoded in the track between each frame of video. So the government built one (two actually). And Jodie went somewhere and talked to the "alien. Great movie!
    What if we encode a message in laser beam pulses, like a morse code with short and long blank spaces between each laser "chunk". That would "identify" them as artificial light. Then the message can travel at the speed of light.
    Then, broadcast the laser message beams from points of the globe to cover the whole universe. Then wait for the "reply"..

If anything is going to announce our position, it will be the high powered radio & TV broadcasts starting 90+ years ago and are still traveling through space 17,000 times faster than Voyager. Even signals sent out by Voyager will forever be 50 years behind early TV & radio broadcasts.
      Voyager's main function was to get people interested in science, the universe etc & exactly like you say, it did that beautifully. It truly was fantastic reality TV.

      Very fond memories of my own efforts. I built a dedicated gamer CUDA capable machine for the purpose of achieving the most production for the least power home PC on the planet. Fanless platinum power supply, smallest cpu chip capable of driving the game boards. I ganged two motherboard powered NVIDIA GT-650s with two wired EVGA GT-650s.
      The results were good. Mostly it just sat their all day crunching numbers. It produced about 100,000 credits (cobblestones) per day drawing about 250 watts. Over a year or two I had accumulated enough total credits in all the BOINC associated projects to rank in the top 99.98% on the planet. Tens if not hundreds of millions cobblestones. Then I upgraded one of the NVIDIA gamer boards and crashed the entire system. I was the only guy in the county who had ever manage to gang up four parrallel CUDA boards and even I could not set this mess straight. So my system has gone dark.

    Aren't sidewalks, lawns, roads, and buildings like an alien species in an environment? Therefore, should human migration and spread be minimized or eliminated so as not to harm an environment?
    Is any configuration of nature better than another? Better for whom and for what?
    Like any discussions about values, the answer will be gray not b/w and should be resolved thru politics.

    An article in the September 2018 Scientific American makes a compelling argument for the conclusion that we're probably alone in this galaxy. For example, we have a n unusually powerful Van Allen belt and a truly unsual big Moon--the the result of a collision between Earth and a Mars-sized planet over 4B years ago. That collision gave us a thinner crus--which became the Moon---and a thicker Iron/niickel core; toghether those enable plate terctonics, stabilize Earth on its polar axis, prevents space radiation from sterilizing our planetary surface and from the surface getting weather too violent for advanced life to exist. Plus the discovery and mapping over 320 planets in nearby solar systems shows that our configuration is unique among them, further lowering the likelihood of an Earthlike planet out there. I'd love the galazy to be full of intelligent life, but it's becoming clear that we understimated how unusual Earth is. Too bad we're destroying it, because thrre's no Plan B out there.

      if we find Life on Europa so called articles will be burned and cease to exist as everyone celebrates the fact life exist in different conditions. Our moon might of played a huge part of our existence but it also plays a huge part of our Religion superstition that help feed us. Also right in our solar system Pluto has a similar issue. Its moon is like our moon very big. So for 2 planets dwarf or what not in 1 solar system to have that probably suggest that the big moon is much more common then you think. your whole thing revolves around the Moon being rare. Now that its debunked we can say while rare in our solar system its probably not in our galaxy.
