How We’ll Actually Find Aliens
Aliens are out there. But where exactly?Discover the science behind a long healthy life for your pet at hillspet.com/sciencedoesmore @hillspet #Hillspartner
Since I was a kid, I had a big question: “WHERE are all the aliens?”
Still, as an adult, I desperately want to be alive when we discover real extraterrestrial life! And I don’t mean the conspiracy theories, well-meaning but totally wrong science fiction. Or even “the math says there should be someone somewhere”! No. The real science.
I want to know… how are we ACTUALLY going to find aliens? Because if we want to be alive when we find them… cosmically, we don’t have long!
So, I reached out to one of the most important scientists in the search for intelligent life outside our solar system… and who is leading a new effort to find alien life INSIDE our solar system too…
In this episode, we’re going to show you the real science and tech behind the incredible push happening right now to actually find aliens.
HUGE* Conversations is an independent journalistic interview show. Our mission is to show the futures the most important leaders in science and tech are building, so you can decide for yourself what you think of them.
