Astronomer Jill Tarter, former director of the Center for SETI Research, uses the power of Twitter to answer common questions about extraterrestrial life. What if SETI found intelligent life on another planet? Would they keep it a secret? Did US fighter pilots really see a UFO?

she’s so lovely and knowledgable!

Jill Tarter is the poster child for UFO denialism in the scientific community. Avi Loab dressed her down on a UFO panel one time calling her out on her dismissive disrespectful comments about the tic tac and pilots. it was glorious to watch Avi take her to task. We need more of that kind of pushback. People need to stand up to Jill and the other UFO denialists in the scientific community.
will a.i will help us scan planets faster and more than the past???
So informative and thought provoking. Loved this “alien questions” interview with Jill Tarter.
She said nothing remotely interesting
The question that claimed that it’s “mathematically” certain that alien life exists is just plain wrong. The number of stars, galaxies, and planets in the universe, and the age of the universe mean absolutely nothing if you can’t scientifically define how many stars and planets you would need, with what conditions, for how long in order for life to be probable. And nobody has ever done that. The “logic” behind the Fermi Paradox does nothing to make the required definition. Until you bring in the biochemists and other related disciplines, you haven’t accomplished anything
“It’s not possible to keep this kind of thing a secret” meanwhile the US Air Force and the militaries of all other major world governments show up to threaten witnesses and suppress info whenever there is a legit case.
Discredits this “expert” immediately.
I don’t believe they would tell us, it would be kept a secret for years beforehand while they figured out what to do about it
The time stamps being the names of the people who asked questions is not very helpful
This was amazing, the best 13 mins on YouTube.
I don’t think we’ll ever discover an alien life form. The galaxy, and universe, is simply too vast.
she lost credibility after her first answer
lol isnt this the woman neil degrass tyson rubs his hands all over and she calls him out
I really hope we have a universal symbol for PEACE 🕊️
I adore this gal. She’s incredible.
First of all, why do so many people assume there is life out there that is MORE intelligent than us? Using very basic empirical “king of the hill” logic, some life form has to be at the top (you can quibble semantics, but you get the picture), and, if so, there is a chance that life form resides right here on Earth as human beings. Secondly, PLEASE stop using the clacking keyboard sound. It is like nails on a chalkboard.
Would you keep on saving it for research after?
If the universe is an ocean, we only explored a teacup of it.
They all know about us already but they are not interested in contacting us. That’s the truth
Read Rare Earth, by Peter Ward.
Read the Sagan vs Mayr debate, about SETI project.
You guys gotta get a for real UFO nut on here
