Liars. Aliens are all over this world. Governments know it too
If astronomers still can’t find them, I can help. I know where they are and can tell you exactly where to look
I could listen to her talk all day.
Don’t we already live on a planet that is mostly water?
I think their is a blueprint for life embedded in the fabric of the universe that demands life when the conditions are condusive that fact that we are here is the best reason to think there is life elsewhere
totally awesome Jill ! thank you
So smug talking for 15 min saying nothing
Electromagnetic radiation travels @ 300000 meters per second.
Ionization in Earth’s atmosphere.
A SETI base should be placed on the Moon.
Shallow waffle.
divert money spent to wars and invest into SETI institute for the search to continue. I hope during my lifestime, i get a toast of discovery of life beyond earth.
Excellent, so interesting and thought provoking
She’s a very intelligent lady😊
Not sure I buy her argument 4:40 when they could just come here to hunt us for sport. Or they might not be “ethical” in how they study us. They might see us as lower life forms want to learn about us in ways we would find profoundly unpleasant.
Given how dangerous our planet is and how dangerous we are. Hmmmmm why are we looking to make new enemies. Fermi Paradox Dark Forest. Don’t handshake with a crocodile. Why don’t we spend tax money on projects that benefit us as opposed to quasi academics and their hobbies.
How old is this
Jill Tarter makes Joe Rogan look like a goose
Read the recent brilliant SF book Shroud by Adrian Tchaikovsky for a take on aliens and associated animals that have no need for eyes. 🙂
