- The SETI Institute is a 32 year-old non-profit research institute whose mission is to explore, understand and explain the nature of life in the universe. Most famous for its use of radio astronomy for the search for extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) the Institute is actually a multidisciplinary research organization where more than 70 scientists cover the full spectrum of the physical and biological sciences to explore the origins of life beyond earth. In this presentation, CEO Bill Diamond, will share the history, science, mission and future direction of the SETI Institute.
Over the years the SETI institute talks have provided one of the greatest showcases for astronomy and space science on the web. The talks are not dumbed-down and are still accessible to educated people. This is a wonderful thing which we the listeners are so lucky to have. It is a real education reviewing the archive from Brown Dwarfs to Holographic Space Time, take a look. Hurrah for the SETI Institute!
Big Picture Science needs a TH-cam channel
Just starting this vid but thinks to Lenard and Bill :)
Ads are intrusive and rude .............. so shove them please ...........
Error bars?
Yummy. especially the ones with nuts in them.
Personally I do not resign myself to believe in chance events and life as a result of chance, just because I do not have sufficient evidence to prove that it is a spark to the origins of (intelligent) life.
Were you wasted when you wrote this?

fair enough, but what do you resign on?
... apart from the chance event that smashed a Mars-sized body into our planet thereby providing us with our unusually large, (wrt our mass) tidally-locked moon which in turn created much more stable rotation and the stability of predictable seasons for the many epochs that evolution needed to produce us.
Aren't we a bi product of our own environment, therfore the makeup of exoplanets and their inhospitable chemicals could maybe produce lifeforms that flourish in that environment? I am certain that this has been brought up. I am no genius. .just a curious practical thinking Joe that has alaways questioned everything.
Well we just don't know. If its happened once that's a good sign that it can happen again, but we don't know the odds. It could be 100% for single cell organisms and 1 in 5 for multiple cell organisms or higher. Or maybe its 1 planet in 10,000 which produces single cell organisms and only 1 in a billions which develops multiple cell organisms, and out of the 1 in a billion only a small handful develops intelligent space faring aliens. But even at those high odds that would still be plenty of aliens in the universe. I was reading an article on abiogenesis and its much more developed than I thought, with loads of things figured out, and good hypothesis for a lot. Theres a lot of different possible routes and perhaps theyre all applicable, or combinations of them are needed. Its really quite fascinating.
Intriguing, if we accept the concept of, "we are what we eat", then we have no reason to dis-assimilate ourselves from the planet Earth as an entity capable of thriving in or on an alien environment, without 'evolving' into an entity which can. There by, creating a different form of 'human'(?) Excellent observation.
Simple carbon compounds + water seem to be essential because no other starting material can produce such complex chemistry.
That doesn't mean that any other life forms would be DNA based though.
THE china 500 meter aperatrue telsecope will be finished in semptember this year*

These lectures have really gone downhill since the days when Adrian hosted the weekly colloquia.
See ‘to the stars academy’ renders all this redundant. They’re here and always have been.
this guy gives the longest introductions ever get on with it
