- Science isn’t just a dispassionate search for truth. It also provides lessons for living our daily lives in the face of uncertainty and the need for commitment.
Dr Douglas Vakoch is president of METI International, a San Francisco-based scientific organisation that transmits powerful, intentional radio signals to nearby stars, in the hope of eliciting a reply from extraterrestrial civilisations. As an elected member of the International Astronomical Union and the International Institute for Space Law, he explores the scientific and societal dimensions of the search for life beyond Earth. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Its so inspiring to listen Douglas speaking!
''To be human, is to live with uncertainty, if we demand guarantees that we can discover life beyond earth before we actually reach out and search for it then we're guaranteed to fail but if we are willing to put in the hard work to embark on a search not knowing whether we will succeed or not then we are guaranteed to find at least one civilisation that has the passion and the dedication to understand its place in the universe and that civilisation is us, uncertainty and all. ''
We need a new vision for space exploration. This is a great start!
This is so inspiring... @ Douglas Vakoch
Inspiring talk. Makes me wanna explore.
My girlfriend would love this talk!
I would say to an advanced civilization, "Come to us, bring shock and awe and save us from our savage selves.
I had the SETI @ home on 3 computers. Just for fun. But, I often wondered about the frequencies SETI monitored and how much any civilization would use them. On Earth, we don’t use them, that’s why they are so quiet. How many times have we transmitted signals in the direction of likely stars or star clusters? Not many from what I heard. So, why would Johnny Alien think, “Hey, I’m going to dedicate one of my brains and 3 arms to sending signals on a frequency that other creatures probably don’t use”.
guy got all choked up talking about his wife.
We are all one trust me
Dilitheum didn't destroy the Federation, It was just a setback of a few centuries!
The man loves his coffee.
So we do have technology that can detect water undernearth earth...its the same technology used to detect aquaphores and underground rivers....cant we do the same on Mars??? and maybe various moons in our solar system which we suspect liquid water to be present
Its too hard on the body in space for astronauts to go on loooooong missions away.
There's more than a hundred billion stars in the milky way.
Showthe pictures longer so we can see what he's talking about.
Just one more scientist in denial of the presence of ETs in our own environment.
"A sane and intelligent man does not wish to enter any of the material planets because the four conditions of material miseries exist on all of them." Hare KRSNA.
Go, exoplanet hunters!
Sorry too say they live along side of us and they are here and they should be allowed the same as you and I? Truth be known they were here first we do not own mother earth
Seti already got signals in China.
the aliens on star trek don't speak english, they use universal translators
I know, right!?! He needs to work on his Star Trek facts. Babel Fish in Hitchhiker’s Guide and Translator Microbes in Farscape. Sheesh! I doubt this man’s science. 😂 j/k
Oh, and “it’s gift of the TARDIS, a telepathic field that gets inside your brain - translates”. In Doctor Who
You know if you actually just knew yourself and you obey The philosophers for 6,000 years and learned who you are you could actually measure the gestures pick the difference know the aliens know the difference and then you could work everything out but ,
When will people learn humans are the aliens ?
What's wrong with Earl Grey???
who says bacteria can't invent radio.
Sent me to sleep….twice!
Wtf is going on with his platform shoe on his right foot? 👠
Quran 42:29!!
It takes private businesses like Elon Musk to do anything impressive in space.
Mainstream disinfo.. Millions have full disclosure having opened, write in reverse, moc.ylfyeht, Swiss Meier's over 700 recorded face to face chats, since 1943, with human ets, the ets on a now completed 1000s years mission.
