At first glance, Gliese 913 is a pretty average star system. It's a binary — two stars that travel through space together, bound by gravity. The main star is smaller, fainter, and cooler than the Sun. And its companion is even more modest. But when astronomers listened, Gliese 913 got a lot more interesting. A recent analysis of its radio waves found two signals that could be of intelligent origin. But a follow-up session heard nothing. So no one knows whether the signals came from another civilization, or from here on Earth. The study was conducted by Breakthrough Listen, a major search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Its astronomers are using large radio telescopes to scan millions of stars. They recently used a technique known as machine learning to analyze observations of more than 800 of those stars. The computers found about three million interesting signals. But a detailed look showed that almost all of them came from Earth — from satellites, cell phones, or other sources. But eight signals, from five stars, stayed interesting — including the two from Gliese 913. So astronomers listened to the stars again. This time, they didn't hear anything unusual. So they can't rule out any possible origin — natural, terrestrial, or extra-terrestrial. Gliese 913 is in the constellation Andromeda, which is in the northeast at nightfall. But you need a telescope to see this intriguing star system. Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

When pondering the probability of discovering technologically advanced extraterrestrial life, the question that often arises is, "if they're out there, why haven't we found them yet?" And often, the response is that we have only searched a tiny portion of the galaxy. Further, algorithms developed decades ago for the earliest digital computers can be outdated and inefficient when applied to modern petabyte-scale datasets. Now, research published in Nature Astronomy and led by an undergraduate student at the University of Toronto, Peter Ma, along with researchers from the SETI Institute, Breakthrough Listen and scientific research institutions around the world, has applied a deep learning technique to a previously studied dataset of nearby stars and uncovered eight previously unidentified signals of interest. Join Senior Scientist Franck Marchis in conversation with lead author Peter Ma, co-author Leandro Rizk, and their supervisor, SETI Institute astronomer Cherry Ng, as they discuss the usefulness of machine learning, their recent findings, and the potential for the future of SETI.

For centuries, humans have gazed at the night sky and wondered if any intelligent life forms like us might be out there. In 2015, the Breakthrough Foundation gave a $100 million grant to the University of California at Berkeley to undertake the most comprehensive search for signals from an extra-terrestrial civilization. Dr. Steve Croft, of the University of California, Berkeley, SETI Center, describes the project, introduces the many radio telescopes around the world it is using in the search, and explains how modern technology, including AI, is being used to include more stars, more frequencies (channels) and more ways a signal might be sent.

"Are We Alone? In an exclusive interview, Dr. Vishal Gajjar, a leading researcher on the Breakthrough Listen project, discussed his groundbreaking work using machine learning and AI to facilitate the detection of technosignatures on the project's search for Extraterrestrial life. The Breakthrough Listen project, led by the University of California Berkeley and the SETI Institute, is one of the most ambitious efforts to search for intelligent life in the universe. Using some of the world's largest radio telescopes, the project scans the cosmos for signs of intelligent civilizations, such as radio signals and other technosignatures. Dr. Gajjar, who is a principal investigator on the project, is using AI to help analyse the vast amounts of data generated by the telescopes. "The amount of data we collect is enormous, and it would be impossible for humans to go through it all," he explained. "Using machine learning algorithms, we can sift through the data much more efficiently and identify patterns that might indicate the presence of a technosignature." One of the key challenges of the project is distinguishing between signals that are truly indicative of Extraterrestrial life and those that are just background noise. Dr. Gajjar's AI algorithms are able to filter out false positives, making the search for technosignatures more accurate. The use of AI in the Breakthrough Listen project is not only increasing the efficiency of the search for Extraterrestrial life, but it's also pushing the boundaries of what we can do with this technology. "We're using AI in a way that it's never been used before," said Dr. Gajjar. "It's exciting to think about the potential implications of this work, not just for our understanding of the universe but also for other fields like medicine and finance." The Breakthrough Listen project is a 10-year initiative with funding from the Breakthrough Initiatives, a program founded by internet investor and philanthropist Yuri Milner. Currently we have purchased time on the GBT in Virginia in the US and the Parkes telescope in Australia and we have time on about a dozen other radio telescopes around the world and we have also purchased time on optical telescopes. This is an exciting time for the search for Extraterrestrial life, and Dr. Gajjar's work with AI on the Breakthrough Listen project is a major step forward in this quest. As Dr. Gajjar put it, "The potential discovery of intelligent life beyond Earth would be one of the most profound discoveries in human history. I'm honoured to be a part of this effort and can't wait to see what we'll find." `

The world's largest search for ET has added more “ears” to the project. It's using MeerKAT — an array of 64 radio telescopes in South Africa. The array can scan much more of the sky than the project's current instruments. That allows it to listen in on many more stars. Breakthrough Listen has been operating for three years. It uses giant radio dishes in the United States and Australia, plus a few smaller ones. The telescopes listen for radio signals produced by civilizations in other star systems. They're not sensitive enough to pick up routine radio broadcasts. But they could detect high-powered radar beams or similar signals. The goal is to scan a million or more nearby star systems, plus a few more-distant targets. The project has detected a few interesting signals. But detailed study has revealed that almost all of them are either interference from radio sources on Earth, or they're produced by stars or other astronomical objects. MeerKAT will expand the project's reach. It can monitor up to 64 target stars at a time, and should be sensitive to signals within about 250 light-years. Breakthrough Listen will piggyback off the work of other projects, so it'll operate any time the telescopes are aiming at the sky. One of the first targets is Proxima Centauri, our closest neighboring star system, about four light-years away. At least two planets orbit the star, and there could be more — potential homes for ET.

Constraints on extragalactic transmitters via Breakthrough Listen

Constraints on extragalactic transmitters via Breakthrough Listen by M. A. Garrett et al. on Monday 19 September The Breakthrough Listen Initiative has embarked on a comprehensive SETI survey of nearby stars in the Milky Way that is vastly superior to previous efforts as measured by a wide range of different metrics. SETI surveys traditionally ignore the fact that they are sensitive to many background objects, in addition to the foreground target star. In order to better appreciate and exploit the presence of extragalactic objects in the field of view, the Aladin sky atlas and NED were employed to make a rudimentary census of extragalactic objects that were serendipitously observed with the 100-m Greenbank telescope observing at 1.1-1.9 GHz. For 469 target fields (assuming a FWHM radial field-of-view of 4.2 arcminutes), NED identified a grand total of 143024 extragalactic objects, including various astrophysical exotica e.g. AGN of various types, radio galaxies, interacting galaxies, and one confirmed gravitational lens system. Several nearby galaxies, galaxy groups and galaxy clusters are identified, permitting the parameter space probed by SETI surveys to be significantly extended. Constraints are placed on the luminosity function of potential extraterrestrial transmitters assuming it follows a simple power law and limits on the prevalence of very powerful extraterrestrial transmitters associated with these vast stellar systems are also determined. It is demonstrated that the recent Breakthrough Listen Initiative, and indeed many previous SETI radio surveys, place stronger limits on the prevalence of extraterrestrial intelligence in the distant Universe than is often fully appreciated. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.08147v1

Are we alone in the universe? It's a question we've been asking for millennia. Now we're on the cusp of learning the answer. Frank Drake—one of the most vocal (and brilliant) askers—has spent the past six decades inspiring others to join him in this quest. Now, a new generation of scientists is carrying his work forward. They're finally being taken seriously, and they're about to change the way we think about our place in the cosmos. For more information on this episode, visit natgeo.com/overheard. Want more? Space isn't the only place to explore when scientists are looking for alien life; it's also important to go underground—here on Earth. Find out why on another episode of Overheard. Breakthrough Listen is reaching beyond our galaxy to determine whether or not there is life in space. The project is audacious—and worth following closely. Frank Drake and Carl Sagan had a legendary friendship and professional relationship. One of their many projects was to create another kind of cosmic road map meant to show aliens how to find us. Also explore: In 1977, NASA sent a set of Golden Records to space attached to two Voyager spacecraft. Carl Sagan, Frank Drake, and a team of inspired scientists decided what they should contain. Here's the music that's flying outside of our solar system right now. Thanks to another kind of map, it's possible to see just how far those radio signals have traveled since leaving our planet over a hundred years ago.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: My current thoughts on the risks from SETI, published by Matthew Barnett on March 15, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. SETI stands for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. A few projects, such as Breakthrough Listen, have secured substantial funding to observe the sky and crawl through the data to look for extraterrestrial signals. A few effective altruists have proposed that passive SETI may pose an existential risk to humanity (for some examples, see here). The primary theory is that alien civilizations could continuously broadcast a highly optimized message intended to hijack or destroy any other civilizations unlucky enough to tune in. Many alien strategies can be imagined, such as sending the code for an AI that takes over the civilization that runs it, or sending the instructions on how to build an extremely powerful device that causes total destruction. Note that this theory is different from the idea that active SETI is harmful, ie. messaging aliens on purpose. I think active SETI is substantially less likely to be harmful, and yet it has received far more attention in the literature. Here, I collect my current thoughts about the topic, including arguments for and against the plausibility of the idea, and potential strategies to mitigate existential risk in light of the argument. In the spirit of writing fast, but maintaining epistemic rigor, I do not come to any conclusions in this post. Rather, I simply summarize what I see as the state-of-the-debate up to this point, in the expectation that people can build on the idea more productively in the future, or point out flaws in my current assumptions or inferences. Some starting assumptions Last year, Robin Hanson et al. published their paper If Loud Aliens Explain Human Earliness, Quiet Aliens Are Also Rare. I consider their paper to provide the best available model to-date on the topic of extraterrestrial intelligence and the Fermi Paradox (along with a very similar series of papers written by S. Jay Olson previously). You can find a summary of the model from Robin Hanson here, and a video-summary here. The primary result of their model is that we can explain the relatively early appearance of human civilization—compared to the total lifetime of the universe—by positing the existence of so-called grabby aliens that expand at a large fraction of the speed of light from their origin. Since grabby aliens quickly colonize the universe after evolving, their existence sets a deadline for the evolution of other civilizations. Our relative earliness may therefore be an observation-selection effect arising from the fact that civilizations like ours can't evolve after grabby aliens have already colonized the universe. Assuming this explanation of human earliness is correct, and we are not an atypical civilization among all the civilizations that will ever exist, we should expect much of the universe to already be colonized by grabby aliens by now. In fact, as indicated by figure 13 in the paper, such alien volumes should appear to us to be larger than the full moon. Given the fact that we do not currently see any grabby aliens in our sky, Robin Hanson concludes that they must expand quickly—at more than half the speed of light. He reaches this conclusion by applying a similar selection-effect argument as before: if grabby alien civilizations expanded slowly, then we would be more likely to see them in the night sky, but we do not see them. However, the assumption that grabby aliens, if they existed, would be readily visible to observers, is arguable, as Hanson et al. acknowledge, This analysis, like most in our paper, assumes we would have by now noticed differences between volumes controlled or not by GCs.

When you start looking at the Universe, you realize that there are more signals out there than are simply generated by stars. On the one hand, you have astrophysical objects like gas, dust, plasma, as well as stellar corpses and their remnants. But there are also failed stars that didn't quite make it to the nuclear fusion stage that defines our Sun and the other stars like it: brown dwarfs. Beyond that, there may also be signatures of planets like Earth out there: planets inhabited by an intelligent civilization. It's of paramount importance, when asking the biggest questions, to make sure that we aren't fooling ourselves, but that's where projects like SETI and Breakthrough Listen come in: to help us extract legitimate science where "wishful thinking" has the potential to lead us in precisely the most dangerous direction: the possibility of fooling ourselves. I'm so pleased to welcome Ph.D. Candidate Macy Huston to the podcast, as we explore the less commonly seen side of the Universe: from exoplanets to brown dwarfs to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.

Demi Lovato thinks you should stop calling aliens aliens because the aliens may have their alien feelings hurt. This is so interesting to me because now we are getting into the territory of protecting the feelings of those we do not even know exist. Even if they do exist, who is to say they would be offended by the term? Humans are the ones who are offended by that term, so I never refer to humans that way. But we have no evidence to suggest that an alien species would be anything like us. In fact, many scientists believes aliens do not even have emotions. So, what is the big deal here exactly? Always remember that ideas such as race, beauty and class are human social constructs that are bandied about for political gain. They have no real grounding in reality. We use them as tools to further our political agendas. I have never called a human immigrant an alien, but then again I have never called a human immigrant an immigrant either. I usually refer to them by their name. Why not just wait until you learn the name of someone or something before you call it anything at all? Why is there this need in people to classify things according to their political worldview? Because none of this is about protecting or respecting different species. It is about projecting worldviews into far away places that will one day become colonies of the planet earth. Where do you think this space exploration stuff is going? Do you think America would waste money to go to space if its government was not hell bent on conquering it? That is all this is. Over the years, I have grown tired of the moral conquests of both the left and the right. I am not interested anymore. I do not care what Demi Lovato thinks about aliens at all. I also do not understand why actors are allowed to pretend that they are scientists or linguists with no formal training whatsoever. These celebrities are not ambassadors of peace and good will. They are marketers for the various companies they work for. Do you really care what companies want you to call aliens? Hell, I do not even care if companies go out of business. I also find it a bit perturbing that vast amounts of money are generated from alien fantasies and no one seems to wonder who benefits from all of this hype. If you look into it you will find that organizations like SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) are receiving massive funding to basically sit around dreaming up little green men. Meanwhile, no one has the wherewithal to cure cancer or search for an aids vaccine or help you get dental insurance. Everyday, the alien thing is becoming more and more of rich man's vanity hobby, not the fun science fiction it once was. Even some scientists agree. "But some astronomers worry the funding boon is distorting science. Fernando Camilo, chief scientist of the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory, says Breakthrough Listen's voracious appetite for time on large telescopes leaves him uncomfortable. "It leaves less time to do astronomy." Others say SETI's high-risk, rush-for-the-prize approach could distract funders from a more rational, stepwise search for extraterrestrial life. "We do have a really thoughtful process on what gets funded and what doesn't," says Harvard University astronomer David Charbonneau. "That doesn't happen with rich individuals." (science.org) That is the key argument right there. Why are we wasting time looking for aliens when we have so many scientific problems we can solve with a more rational, evidence based approach? Is it the job of science to fulfill the fantasies of the wealthy? Perhaps that is why so many people refuse to understand science. Perhaps they have grown tired of playing the rich person's game. Religion remains more attractive to many than science specifically because of odd projects like these. A church gives at least some money to the poor.

“Who Knows What is Good?” – Ecclesiastes 6:1–12

Harvest Community Church (PCA) in Omaha, NE

Hear now, the word of the Lord from Ecclesiastes 6:1-12 There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, and it lies heavy on mankind: 2 a man to whom God gives wealth, possessions, and honor, so that he lacks nothing of all that he desires, yet God does not give him power to enjoy them, but a stranger enjoys them. This is vanity; it is a grievous evil. 3 If a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is not satisfied with life's good things, and he also has no burial, I say that a stillborn child is better off than he. 4 For it comes in vanity and goes in darkness, and in darkness its name is covered. 5 Moreover, it has not seen the sun or known anything, yet it finds rest rather than he. 6 Even though he should live a thousand years twice over, yet enjoy no good—do not all go to the one place? 7 All the toil of man is for his mouth, yet his appetite is not satisfied. 8 For what advantage has the wise man over the fool? And what does the poor man have who knows how to conduct himself before the living? 9 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the appetite: this also is vanity and a striving after wind. 10 Whatever has come to be has already been named, and it is known what man is, and that he is not able to dispute with one stronger than he. 11 The more words, the more vanity, and what is the advantage to man? 12 For who knows what is good for man while he lives the few days of his vain life, which he passes like a shadow? For who can tell man what will be after him under the sun?Ecclesiastes 6:1-12, ESV The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God endures forever. I recently came upon some rather disturbing information. I was reading about a company who said about a study, a research study to determine how much time people in the United Kingdom spend trying to find something to watch on television. This is not the amount of time they spend watching television, this the time they spend trying to find something to watch on television. When they added up the average amount of time that someone would spend in the United Kingdom doing this, and they calculated over the course of an adult lifespan from 18 years to 80 years. They discovered that people in the United Kingdom spend 55 days of their lives doing nothing other than scrolling through television channels, trying to find something to watch. Remarkably, that's not what was most disturbing, because then they turn the study of the attention to the United States and in the United States, it's sadly much worse. The average American adult spends 45 hours every year trying to find something again, not just watching television, trying to find something to watch on television. Over the course of an adult lifespan this would mean 116 days, nearly a third of a year of your life spent trying to find something before you actually settle in to watch it on television. I think this is a really interesting story because of what it says about who we are as human beings. Every time we turn on the TV, we want to find something good to see. We want to find something to entertain us, something to encourage us, maybe something to enlighten us. Maybe we want something to distract us, distract us from our toil, from our problems, from our pain. And every time we turn on the TV, we know that we're not going to find what we're looking for, right? We know we're not going to find that source of satisfaction. And yet we keep looking for it. If we can't find it the first time we scroll through the channels, we'll go right around again, trying to find something to watch. Even up to a third of a year of our lives looking to see something good on television? Well, our passage this morning deals with three questions about how we find good in this world under the sun, not just on television, but anywhere in the world. And really, this passage is revolving around three questions. 1. What kind of good are we looking for? What? What is the good that we are looking for in life? 2. Why are we so desperate to find this good? 3. How will we even know if we find that at all? Well, we are coming in chapter six here to the very end of the first half of Ecclesiastes. We're halfway through and this is really marking a shift in the book in Ecclesiastes six. Here, the preacher is summarizing everything that he has said in the first half of this book. And you'll notice that as we look through this passage, we're going to see a repeated emphasis on what is good. This word good is going to structure and organize and guide and and unify this whole passage. So our big idea today, then, is this that God alone is good.. Jesus said that from Mark 10:18, God alone is good. So our three points this morning are; 1. Nothing Good 2. Needing Good 3. Knowing Good. Well, we are going to find by the end of this passage, it's not only do we spend our lives searching in vain for good, but even if we found it, we wouldn't recognize it for what it is. So let's start with this passage. Number one, nothing good. The first part of this passage in verses one through six. The preacher, again, he's summarizing everything he said up to this point. He says, There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, and it lies heavy on mankind: Ecclesiastes 6:1, ESV Now, one commentator notes that this could be a qualitative sense of lying heavily. This is very grievous, very heavy, but really, this word is has to do with frequency. You could just as easily say there's an evil that is very common under the sun. That's very frequent. All of us have experienced this in one way or another. What's this evil? Well, he gives a specific example to illustrate a broader principle. He says, A man to whom God gives wealth, possessions, and honor, so that he lacks nothing of all that he desires, yet God does not give him power to enjoy them, but a stranger enjoys them. This is vanity; it is a grievous evil. Ecclesiastes 6:2, ESV Now what's going on here in this illustration that's illustrating the broader principle? Well, probably there are a number of suggestions given as to how this man may have lost the enjoyment of all the good gifts in his life. I think Benjamin Shaw is right when he says, you really have to understand this verse in connection with the next verse, verse three, because the preacher is drawing a contrast. So let's move ahead, and then we'll try to answer what's going on in two and three together. The preacher continues If a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is not satisfied with life's good things, and he also has no burial, I say that a stillborn child is better off than he.Ecclesiastes 6:3, ESV Verse two contrasted against verse three. Verse three is talking about a man who lives for a long time and has many children, whereas in verse two, you're talking about a very wealthy man who never enjoys the good things of his life. You're probably talking about someone who died very young. The point here is that whether you die very young or whether you live for a very long time, either way, you will not find satisfaction in life. You will not find the joy, the lasting goodness, the soul satisfying good that you are looking for in your life. He is so despairing of this point that he goes on to make a very stark statement at the end of verse three. He says whether you die young or whether you live for a long time, I say, at the end of verse three, that is stillborn child is better off than he. This is a horrifying thing to say. Understand the preacher is not making light of the grief and the desperation of what it would be to lose a stillborn child. Rather, he's very aware of this, he's facing this grief very squarely. He's pointing to that kind of grief and say, understand, even as grievous as it would be to have a child born stillborn. That's how bad life is under the sun. That it would be better never to enter into this world and see the land of the living, then to live either a short time or a very long time in this evil world under the sun. Now why is that? For it comes in vanity and goes in darkness, and in darkness its name is covered. Moreover, it has not seen the sun or known anything, yet it finds rest rather than he. Even though he should live a thousand years twice over, yet enjoy no good—do not all go to the one place?Ecclesiastes 6:4-6, ESV Even if you lived two thousand years, you would enjoy no good or literally that he would see no good, there's that word for good. You wouldn't find good, you would never come across this good that you were looking for and at the end of the day, whether you were born stillborn, never seeing light in the land of the living or whether you live a thousand years twice over, it will never be enough time to find that good that our souls crave. If there's nothing good to see in this world, though, what hope do we have? This ends on a point of despair. What hope do we have? Well, in January 2016, a 10 year, $100 million project was launched. It's called Breakthrough Listen. It's still an operation, as far as I know. The purpose of Breakthrough Listen is to dedicate an extraordinary amount of scientific and technological resources just trying to listen to outer space, trying to maybe hear if intelligent life in the outer space is trying to communicate with us purposefully, or whether we just overhear chatter to try to find some evidence of life out there somewhere in the universe. One of the biggest proponents for bringing this project about was the the late astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, who said this. He says, "In an infinite universe, there must be other life." Then he says this, "there is no bigger question. There's no bigger question about whether there is other life." He thinks it's certain that there must be other life. Now, Stephen Hawking did not live to see the success of his project, and he died in 2018. So far, as I know that we have not yet discovered signs of intelligent life out in the universe. This is an extraordinary thing that Stephen Hawking says. There is no bigger question. It's extraordinary for two reasons number one. First of all, it ignores the possibility of finding God. You would think that finding God would be the biggest question. If that were possible, that would be the most important thing. The biggest question that we could come across. He just sets that aside. He doesn't even consider that. What a tragedy. One of the most brilliant men who has ever walked the face of the Earth, and he doesn't even consider the possibility that God may be out there and readily communicating with us through his word. We don't have to listen with telescopes and all that kind of thing. God speaks to us in his word. The other reason this is such an extraordinary statement is this. There's a presupposition behind this, you can't say that there's no bigger question unless you already believe, even if you haven't stated it this way, that there is no lasting, satisfying good in our world. He's echoing the conclusions of the preacher. You see, you only look for something as long as you need to. If you if you lose something, say you lose your keys. You only look for your keys until you find your keys after you have found your keys. There's no point in continuing the search. You've already found what you're looking for. Well, if we spend our lives looking for soul, satisfying good. We can't find it in this world, of course, we're going to look elsewhere. Of course, we're going to be driven to say there's no bigger question than to find something to give me hope if it's not here in this world, that we must look to the great expanse of the universe. That's what drove Stephen Hawking, even though he wouldn't go to God to look for this biggest question in his mind, to try to find extraterrestrial intelligent life. Well, at the end of the first half of Ecclesiastes, this is a very bitter conclusion that the preacher is drawing. There is nothing good to see in this world. You can have all the wealth, you can have all the children, you can have all the time in the world and you will never, ever find true, lasting good. Soul satisfying satisfaction. Now, the first reaction the preacher gives us is one of despair, if this is true, it would be better to have been born stillborn than to see even a moment of the vanity and the grievous sickening evil of this world. There's another possible way to respond to this, and that's what the response of denial. To believe, well, that can't be true, certainly, there must be good somewhere in this world. Denial would engage then on a endless, fruitless quest to try to find good somewhere no matter what. And the preacher turns to the issue of denial next in the second section where he deals with the need that we have for good and needing good. Needing Good He says this in verse seven. All the toil of man is for his mouth, yet his appetite is not satisfied. Ecclesiastes 6:7, ESV Very literally, the word for appetite is the word for soul. He's saying all the work we do with our hands is to feed our mouths, to feed our bodies. Yet our soul, we're not talking about physical hunger. We are talking about the appetite, the hunger of our soul for something good. This is not filled. This is not satisfied. No matter what you're able to do in life, you will not satisfy the depths of your soul's craving for good in this world. So is there a fix for this? Is there a life hack where maybe we can side skirt this inconvenient reality? And the answer is in verse eight. Well, wisdom isn't the answer. For what advantage has the wise man over the fool? And what does the poor man have who knows how to conduct himself before the living?Ecclesiastes 6:8, ESV Whether you're wise, whether you're poor, whether you have street smarts or whether you have very studied wisdom, any kind of wisdom is not going to be able to get you out of this jam. You're left at the end of the day without being able to satisfy your soul. Verse nine, Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the appetite: this also is vanity and a striving after wind.Ecclesiastes 6:9, ESV Now remember, I said good structures, this passage. Better doesn't look like the word good, but think about what better means. It means more good. In Hebrew it's very obvious, it's good more than these other things. IT says better, more good is the side of the eyes to see something, to have the object of good held in your hands and to see it. That would be better than the wandering of the appetite, the wandering of the soul. If you cannot find the good that you were looking for, you will be doomed to a life spent wandering anxiously, desperately to find some kind of good somewhere. The good that we seek is not in this world, but because we crave it.. we're never going to give up the search. It's that deep of a need in our souls. This is why we spend 116 days of our lives simply trying to find something good to see on television. This is why we move from experience to experience trying to find lasting joy. It satisfies for a brief, fleeting moment, and then we've got to find our next fix. This can lead people from relationship to relationship, from job to job, or to pursue after achievement to achievement, or to follow purchase after purchase. There is nothing good enough to satisfy our souls, but because this is such a deep need of ours, we keep looking and desperation. Our souls then anxiously wander through this life, searching everywhere to find good. Since there is nothing good in this world, we'll never find it. We're doomed to continue flipping through the channels. But there's one more problem of the preacher wants to address here, as he summarizes the first half of his book. That even if we did find good, we wouldn't recognize it. Human beings are notoriously bad judges of what is good. We're notoriously bad at estimating what is truly good. Knowing Good Knowing good and versus 10 through 12. Whatever has come to be has already been named, and it is known what man is, and that he is not able to dispute with one stronger than he. 11 The more words, the more vanity, and what is the advantage to man? 12 For who knows what is good for man while he lives the few days of his vain life, which he passes like a shadow? For who can tell man what will be after him under the sun? Ecclesiastes 6: 10-12, ESV . So what are we talking about here? Well, it's probably important, as a lot of commentators who point out to remember that the word man is the word Adam. The word Adam, the name given to the first man created, is the same word that's used, one of the words, at least, that refers to men in the rest of the Old Testament. So when you're talking about Adam, we were talking about the head of all mankind. A similar thing happens when Jacob is renamed to Israel. Israel is one man, and he is also the head of all the nation of Israel. So Adam is the head of all of mankind. It talks here about whatever has come to be has already been named. Well, in the context of talking about man, it is known what man is talking about Adam and the naming of Adam, this is drawing us back to Adam's commission, given in Genesis 2:19 to name all of the animals. Now this is an important story that helps us to understand what the preacher is saying here is tempered. Longmen, in his commentary, points out to name something is far more than just affixing a name tag or or telling other people the sounds that we should pronounce when we're referring to something. To name something in the Old Testament is to recapture something of the essence. To understand what something truly is. For Adam to name the animals meant that he alone understood what all of these creatures were, in the sense of what role do they fit into God's larger creation? What part do they play? What had God created them for?. Understand there is no zoologist who will ever live, who will have a better understanding of the essence of these animals than Adam did when he named him in the garden. He had perfect knowledge of what these were, of their essence, their deep essence of these creatures. He may not have known their feeding patterns and life patterns and all of that and their cellular biology, but he knew what they were at a deeper level than anyone ever will. This is what the preacher saying, what has come to be has already been named. Adam had perfect knowledge of this. Adam had perfect knowledge of all of creation. But and here's the important thing the preacher wants to remind us, Adam's knowledge failed him. Adam had a perfect knowledge of all the creatures, but Adam's knowledge failed him. How did it fail him? Well, this is what the preacher means when we read, "It is known what man is and that he is not able to dispute with one stronger than he." Adam had a perfect knowledge of creation, but he mis estimated the Creator. He knew everything about every animal in their essence, but he did not really understand God when he defied God. So in the story of the Garden of Eden, we know that Adam set aside God's word. God gave him wisdom that would have given him true happiness, but he set aside God's word, and he instead trusted an animal to undermine God's word. Indeed, the serpent was the one who came to Adam and told him in Genesis 3:5 to Adam and Eve, promising that if you would eat off the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you will be like God knowing good and evil. That sounds a wonderful promise, doesn't it? You will know what is truly good, but you must set aside what God has said that you must do and must not do. Indeed, when we read Genesis 3:6 about the original sin we read, when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, Adam and Eve used their own ability, their own wisdom, their own knowledge to try to estimate for themselves, to judge, for themselves, evaluate for themselves what is good. The problem is we are notoriously bad judges for ourselves of what is good. We wouldn't know a good thing if it bit us like a snake. Which brings us back to our original big idea that God alone is good. Adam obeyed the creature rather than the creator who is to be blessed for forever. Then verse 11 records something of his response, "The more words, the more vanity in what is the advantage to man?" You remember Adam in the garden blubbering, trying to make some excuse or justification for his sin? It was that woman that you gave me, she gave me the fruit and I ate it. More words, more vanity, Adam. This refers to his feeble excuse making. Then in verse 12, the preacher ends the first half of this book this way, he says, "For who knows what is good for man? While he lives the few days of his vain life, which he passes like a shadow." This is the question, isn't it? We all want good, but we can't even define it. We don't know what it is. Again, we wouldn't know good if it bit us like a snake. Who knows what's good for men while he lives the few days of his life? We're chasing after what we think will make us happy, what we think will satisfy us. Like Adam and Eve in the garden, what we think will give us the knowledge of good and evil only ends up bringing us into more misery and heartache. Then the final question is for who can tell man what will be after him under the sun? Adam certainly didn't know what the consequences of sin would be. If Adam didn't know all this, then how possibly can we can we know this? Over the last few weeks, I was contacted out of the blue by one of the people that I went on my trip to Africa, to Kenya and Rwanda last year, in February and March of 2020. I went on a group with a group of one of my best friends and his parents, and then some friends of his parents, and it was from this group, I knew his parents, but it was the friends of his parents that I met. And so the woman, she was very kind. She was an older woman. She was very traveled. She had done a lot of things, very friendly. She had a lot of experiences of things, and she was always telling interesting stories going along. Well, she contacted me out of the blue to catch up. You know, we hadn't talked, certainly because of everything that's been going on for almost a year and a half. So she messaged me over Facebook Messenger. So we were kind of texting back and forth what's going on, hearing things have been going on in her life and it was really good to catch up with her. Well, in the course of the conversation, you know, again, this is a woman who's done a lot of things in life. She mentioned that she had recently gotten this grant to do some of the interesting things that she does in her life. A grant from the government and, you know, the government's opening all these new grants and ways to get money right now. She starts telling me, you know, have you ever thought about getting a grant? You could get a grant and do all kinds of sorts of different things. She gave me the contact information for the attorney who had helped her to apply for this grant. Now, here's the thing, if I had needed a grant that might have been too good of an opportunity to pass up. As it happened was this wasn't my friend I was talking with. I had had a long, multi-week conversation with her and it wasn't my friend. It was at that point, what saved me from fraud or identity theft or whatever would have happened is that by God's grace, I didn't believe that a grant would be good for me. I didn't think I needed it. So it was in that moment where I realized maybe something is going on here that I haven't fully appreciated. It helped me take a step back from the situation, and I called my parents friend or I texted her, my parents, mom and I said, "Hey, would you call your friend and see if I'm actually the one talking with her?" A couple of hours later, I got a call from the real woman and she said, it wasn't me. I had nothing to do with this. So then I reported this imposter to Facebook. Because I didn't believe that what was being held out to me was good. It gave me enough distance to take a step back from this, thoroughly convincing conversation in every other way, to recognize that I was being deceived. Well, in the same way, the preacher has spent the first half of Ecclesiastes trying to tear every possible way that we could look after good or seek after good in this world because he wants to equip you. He wants to teach you. There is nothing good in this world and you can keep looking for it. You can keep flipping through the channels, trying to find something good to see in this world, but understand you are being deceived. Unless you have the distance from that to realize I don't actually want that, I might not being dealt with honestly here, I might be being deceived. Unless you have that perspective given by the first half of Ecclesiastes, you're very likely to get sucked up into whatever convincing conversation that you're going to enter into this world. Application Our application point then today is this trust in God who alone is good. He said the deepest craving in all of our hearts is to find this true good. Instinctively, we will all spend our lives searching for what is good. You were created for good. Your soul craves good. Wherever you look in this world, your appetite will not be satisfied. It cannot be satisfied by any good in this world. Why? Well, two reasons. Number one, there's nothing good to see in this world. Just like on TV, there's nothing good to see in this world. Number two, even if you came across good, you wouldn't know it. You wouldn't know it if it bit you like a snake. To know good requires wisdom from God. That was the promise of the Serpent. You'll know this good for yourself. You'll be able to make your own decisions. You will be able to find your own way, to discover your own good, to be your own person, to live by your own rules and to make yourself satisfied according to your own terms. To know good requires wisdom that can only come from God. God gave Adam this wisdom. Adam ignored it again. He listened to the creature rather than listening to the creator. Later, Solomon prayed for this wisdom that was good. He he should have sought wisdom, and he sought for wisdom to discern between good and evil. It reflects the the language right out of Genesis three. He wanted to know good and evil, and he went to the right source. He went to God. This was good. And by that wisdom, Solomon flourished, until he too ignored this wisdom to ignore God, to do what God had forbidden him to do and worship all of these false idols. Ultimately, when Jesus Christ came into this world, Paul tells us in First Corinthians, 1:30, that Jesus Christ was for us wisdom from God. Wisdom in the flesh stood in our midst. When Jesus Christ came into this world, the world absolutely rejected him. Paul meditates on this in First Corinthians 2:7-8. He says, We do teach wisdom, not the world's wisdom, but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages unto our glory. Then in the very next verse, First Corinthians 2:8, he says none of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory. Wisdom was in their midst, and not only did they not understand him, not only that they simply just walk away from him. Wisdom was in their midst and they hated him so much they crucified him. We are horrible judges of what is truly good of what is truly wise. We still do this, why do we ignore God's wisdom, because to our site, it doesn't seem like a good thing. We judge according to what we can see. Indeed, the preacher says it's better to see. Better is the sight of the eyes and the wandering of the appetite we want to see good. But the problem is, there's nothing good to see in this world, verse six, "Even though he should live a thousand years twice over yet, see, no good, there's no good to see, cannot all go to the same place." Yet, despite this, despite the knowledge of this, sometimes we keep chasing everything that remotely appears to be good. Brothers and sisters, we must not live according to outward appearances, if we do, we will be doomed to live a life chasing from one shiny object to another. Always trying to satisfy the cravings and the desires of our souls. Instead, the Bible says, don't do this. You are a horrible judge of what is good for yourself, and you know this intuitively by all the misery that you have brought on your own life. Instead, the Bible says we must walk by faith, not by sight. True wisdom means trusting in what God says is good. Now what we see for ourselves to be good, it means setting our eyes above where Christ is seated at the right hand of God, rather than setting our eyes on the things of this world. So how do we do this? Well, the Bible doesn't give us the seven steps to the good life. It's not that simple. Let me give you some questions to ponder. I've used these before, we've talked about these in classes and things before here. When I ask you what would make you happy right now? Maybe you are looking for that government grant and that would solve a lot of problems that you're looking for. Maybe you're looking for a new job, maybe you're looking for a new relationship. Maybe you're looking to be happy. What would make you happy right now? What's the first thing that comes to your mind? That's the thing you love. What preoccupies you're thinking when it's just you alone, what are your what is your mind tend to? Where do you start planning in a certain direction? What do you fantasize about? What do you wonder about? What are you googling to try to find more information about? What are the things that make you most angry or what are you afraid and terrified to lose? That's where you think good is in this world. Those are the things that preoccupy your heart and your soul. So the question is, is it Christ or is it something in this world that cannot truly satisfy you? The Bible says the only good, the truly good thing in this world and beyond this world and the one who created this world is God himself. Jesus says this God alone is good. So if you're setting your hopes, if you're pinning your life's goodness and satisfaction on anything in this world, it's always going to let you down. You'll keep flipping the channels to something else in life. The Bible calls us to repent of trusting in all of these false goods and instead turn to Jesus Christ and so to be saved by him. He's the same yesterday, today and forever. He is the one who loved you so much that he gave up his life for you. He is the one who promises that at his right hand are pleasures forever more. God alone is good. Are you looking to Jesus Christ to satisfy you or someone or something else? Christ alone has entered into this vain world, has suffered, has given up everything that he enjoyed as the Crown Prince of Heaven in order to suffer and die in your place for your sin. He was raised up from the dead as the possessor of all things, as the one who has conquered sin, death in the devil forever, who extends his salvation to all those who are pent from your sins and look to him in faith are you looking to Christ in faith? Brothers and sisters, there is nothing good in this world, the one who is good is seated at the right hand of God, and there will come a day when he will return. Just like we talked about it, the call to worship, and that'll be a day when there will be a new heavens and a new Earth and God will wipe away every tear from our eyes. We will dwell with God as our God forever and we will be with him as his people forever. That's what's good. Is that what preoccupies your heart, soul and mind? Let's pray. Heavenly Father, we pray that you would give us good through Jesus Christ. We pray that he would preoccupy us, that he would be our joy and our satisfaction, and that we would repent of all lesser satisfactions and joys that we chase after in this life. We pray this that Christ would be glorified as we look more and more to him, and we pray this for our good. That we know in Christ would have peace and joy and satisfaction in this life, even as everything is wasting away in our outer bodies and in this world that we would be satisfied in Christ until the day comes when he can make all things new. We pray this in Christ name. Amen.

If you want to hear the sounds of civilization, you're likely to head downtown. If you want the sounds of nature, then you're likely to head for the country. That reflects the strategy in recent months of the world's biggest search for extraterrestrial intelligence. It's been aiming its radio telescopes toward the center of the Milky Way — the galaxy's busy “downtown.” Breakthrough Listen began in 2016. It uses radio telescopes in the United States and Australia to listen for signals from other civilizations. It also uses an optical telescope to look for high-powered lasers. It's scanned hundreds of thousands of stars across a wide range of wavelengths. Most of its observations are still being analyzed. In recent months, it's taken aim at the center of the galaxy. There are a lot more scannable stars in that direction than in any other — stars in the center, and stars across the 27,000 light-years or so between Earth and the galaxy's hub. In addition, the center of the galaxy is considered the best location for a beacon to signal worlds throughout the Milky Way. It could even serve as the hub for a sort of galactic Internet. Early results have found no evidence of powerful beacons. But researchers still have hundreds of hours of recordings to study in their quest to find other civilizations in our galactic home. We'll talk about efforts to find new stars in that region of the sky tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

Leto by mohlo trvať aj pol roka. No len si to predstavte... a teraz svoju predstavu upravte, pretože to vôbec nie je dobrá správa.

KRÁTKE SPRÁVY Z VEDY: Astronómovia načúvali nášmu galaktickému jadru, či tam náhodou nenatrafia na stopy mimozemských civilizácií.

Una nueva idea para solucionar el cambio climático: globos. La captura de carbono es una herramienta útil para revertir las emisiones, pero de momento muy cara. Unos científicos tienen una nueva idea: poner esas máquinas en un globo aerostático, subirlas a 15 km de altura donde el CO2 es mucho más abundante, bajar, y repetir. Llamaron a 60 millones de estrellas y todas comunican. El mayor programa de escucha activa de señales extraterrestres, Breakthrough Listen, ha analizado un área central de nuestra galaxia, hogar de cientos de millones de planetas, y no han encontrado ninguna señal de vida de ningún tipo. Otra vez. No me queda claro si esta es una nueva observación, o un nuevo análisis de observaciones previas. — De nuevo, esa microregión podría estar llena de civilizaciones, y aún así no detectarlas por múltiples motivos. Hablando del tema... en el patio de atrás de la Tierra: La sonda Parker detecta señales confusas en la atmósfera de Venus. Radiación natural ya detectada, que vuelve a representar grandes cambios en la atmósfera del planeta vecino que tienen a los astrólogos confundidos. — Si no sabemos bien qué ocurre en el "piso de al lado", imagínate. Científicos vuelven a hipotetizar sobre hongos en Marte. Utilizando imágenes capturadas por los rovers marcianos a lo largo de múltiples semanas, detectan crecimientos extraños y cambios de coloración con formas similares a las de algunos hongos terrestres. — Lo más probable es que sea algo inorgánico. Telegram busca más dinero. Pide a los inversores 750 millones de dólares más, que se sumarán a los 1.000 millones que le dieron hace dos meses... de los cuáles ya se han gastado la mitad en pagar a los que invirtieron en el fallido sistema TON. — Siguen examinando cuándo salir a bolsa. Fabricar videoconsolas sigue siendo un mal negocio. Microsoft declara en el juicio de Epic vs. Apple que nunca ha generado beneficios con el hardware de su división de Xbox, y que están mantenidas a base de los pagos mensuales, de comisiones en videojuegos ajenos y de la venta de los propios. Nintendo es la única que genera dinero con cada consola que vende. De ahí que la Switch lleve cuatro años a 300 euros. Y las ventas siguen subiendo. Andorra quiere blindar a los YouTubers con un marco regulatorio nuevo. El gobierno pirenaico prepara cambios legislativos para atraer más "nómadas digitales". — No me queda claro cómo encaja esto con los nuevos consensos que están buscando Europa y Norteamérica a nivel de impuestos mínimos. La pandemia ha cambiado nuestros hábitos de navegación web. El estar más tiempo delante de ordenadores de escritorio (bien por ocio o bien por trabajo remoto extendido) ha incrementado no solo las visitas a webs, también la duración e intensidad de nuestra visita. IBM supera los 300 millones de transistores por milímetro cuadrado. Una cifra de densidad pico magnífica en sus nuevos procesadores gracias a múltiples nuevas técnicas cómo la litografía de luz ultravioleta extrema y a apilar los transistores en columnas de tres. Quedan años para que entre en producción en suficiente escala, pero mola mucho verlo. Brave añade una función de listas de reproducción. De momento solo en su versión de iPhone, pero es muy chula: te permite añadir cualquier vídeo o canción a una lista combinada, y las reproduce como si fuera una aplicación musical, incluso con la pantalla apagada. La única pega que le veo es que no encuentra vídeos o audios siempre. Error garrafal en Windows Defender que llena el almacenamiento de usuarios. No parece que haya sido muy común, pero algunos usuarios de Windows 10 han reportado que Defender estaba creando miles y miles de archivos vacíos aparentemente inútiles. En algunos casos hasta 30 GB. Actualizad y debería solucionarse. Twitter abre su bote de donaciones. Algunos usuarios ya han podido añadir sus perfiles de Patreon, PayPal, Cash o similares que serán mostrados en su perfil bajo un nuevo icono con un billete, al lado del botón de seguir. Twitter sigue buscando mejorar para creadores.

Last week the Guardian and Scientific American announced that Breakthrough Listen astronomers using the Parkes radio telescope in Australia saw a weird radio signal coming from Proxima Centauri, the star system closest to Earth. The signal behaves strangely, only using a narrow 982MHz band typically not used by human-made spacecraft. It also does not correspond to known natural processes. The frequency moves around too…not what you’d expect from a planet. As soon as I heard about it, I knew I had to talk to my friend, Jill Tarter!

Its Latin name means the "nearest [star] of Centaurus". This object was discovered in 1915 by Robert Innes and is the nearest-known star to the Sun. In the search for alien life, researchers have discovered an "intriguing" radio signal emanating from the star system closest to the sun, according to a media report. The Guardian reports that researchers at the Breakthrough Listen project, which is "the largest ever scientific research program aimed at finding evidence of civilizations beyond Earth," have discovered a 980 MHz signal that appears to emanate from the Proxima Centauri star system, slightly more than four light-years from Earth. One of the researchers behind the project, Andrew Siemion from the University of California, Berkeley, was hard-pressed to describe the source of the signal. "It has some particular properties that caused it to pass many of our checks, and we cannot yet explain it," Siemion told Scientific American of the 980 MHz signal. Fox News has reached out to NASA with a request for comment. "We don't know of any natural way to compress electromagnetic energy into a single bin in frequency" Siemion added, noting there could be some natural explanations behind it. But "for the moment, the only source that we know of is technological." Proxima Centauri b is the closest confirmed exoplanet to Earth, at 4.2 light-years away. In January, researchers discovered the presence of a possible second exoplanet, a "Super-Earth," also orbiting Proxima Centauri. This new signal has been given the name BLC1, for Breakthrough Listen. It was initially discovered in April 2019 by the Parkes 210-foot radio telescope in Sydney, Australia. The Breakthrough Listen project, which collaborates with NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), detects radio signals in space constantly. Did Proxima Centauri Just Call to Say Hello? Not Really! Link: https://www.seti.org/did-proxima-centauri-just-call-say-hello-not-really You've probably heard about the story, published in The Guardian, a respectable newspaper in the UK, about the potential discovery of an alien signal from the Proxima Centauri system, the star closest to us. This article, and a companion piece in Scientific American, noted that in April and May 2019, the Parkes telescope in Australia was listening to Proxima b, a red dwarf. This star is known to be active, and this listening was part of a stellar-flare survey. Shane Smith, a student at Breakthrough Listen, a program privately funded by Yuri Milner to search and find so-called technosignatures, or signals that indicate the existence of a civilization like ours, checked out the data. He found an exceedingly curious narrowband emission, needle-sharp at 982.002 megahertz. The team inspected the data, confirmed its veracity, and named it BLC1, for “Breakthrough Listen Candidate 1.” The name clearly identifies what it is. It's a candidate, not a confirmed signal. Everyone at Breakthrough Listen emphasized this, including executive director Pete Worden. Because of its profile, it's very unlikely that the signal was produced by a natural but unknown cosmic source, but who knows…Nature often surprises us. One simple explanation is that Parkes picked up a signal that originated on Earth. We use radio to communicate, and this could be terrestrial interference. And that's probably the most likely explanation. Space Force troops now called Guardians Link: https://www.krqe.com/new-mexico-cw-my50tv/mystery-wire/space-force-troops-now-called-guardians/ MYSTERY WIRE — The Trump administration celebrated the first birthday of the U.S. Space Force on Friday by announcing that its members will be known as “guardians.” Vice President Mike Pence made the announcement at a celebratory event tracing the development of the newest branch of the military over the past year. “It is my honor, on behalf of the president of the United States, to announce that henceforth the men and women of the United States Space Force will be known as guardians,” Pence said. “Soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and guardians will be defending our nation for generations to come.” President-elect Joe Biden has yet to reveal his plans for the Space Force in the next administration. Fargo's most famous UFO sighting was in the skies above a 1948 Bison-Augustana football game Link: https://www.grandforksherald.com/community/history/6807883-Fargos-most-famous-UFO-sighting-was-in-the-skies-above-a-1948-Bison-Augustana-football-game Who was George Gorman? According to columnist Curt Eriksmoen, who wrote about Gorman in The Forum in 2011, Gorman was born July 7, 1923, to Norbert and Roberta Gorman. He grew up in Fargo, where his father was a Cass County agent. During World War II, Gorman became a B-25 instructor for French aviation students. When the North Dakota Air National Guard formed at Fargo's Hector Airport on Jan. 16, 1947, Gorman joined the squadron as a second lieutenant. What exactly happened Oct. 1, 1948? Gorman was flying his P-51 Mustang with other guard pilots in the early evening hours of Oct. 1, 1948. Part of their flight path was over the old Dacotah Field where the North Dakota Agricultural College Bison football team played its games. According to North Dakota State University Assistant Athletic Director Ryan Perreault, the field was slightly south of the current Dacotah Field. About a half hour later, most of the pilots flying decided to call it a night, but Gorman wanted to get in more flying time. According to a story in The Fargo Forum dated Oct. 3, 1948, Gorman was flying near Hector Field, about two and a half miles from the football field, when an air traffic controller told him about a small Piper Cub in the area. He acknowledged the smaller plane about 500 feet below, but a few minutes later, he spotted something else. He said it was a "flying disk," was round with well-defined edges, brilliantly lit and circling slowly over the city. He asked the tower about the object, and they said they only saw Gorman's plane and the Piper Cub. This object was not showing up on radar. Gorman decided to investigate, but as he got closer to the object, it suddenly got brighter and shot away from him. He estimated it was flying around 250 miles an hour, but accelerated to 600 miles an hour. Gorman's plane could only fly about 400 miles an hour, so he lost the object. But it came back and flew right at him. "When the object was coming head on, I held my plane pointed right at it," Gorman said. "The object came so close that I involuntarily ducked my head because I thought a crash was inevitable. But the object zoomed over my head." The "dogfight" lasted 27 minutes — a lifetime for a UFO encounter. The declassified documents include a diagram Gorman drew of what went on in the air that night. Despite what seems to be evidence to the contrary, the Air Force concluded the object was a combination of looking at the planet Jupiter and a weather balloon. According to Eriksmoen, Gorman insisted it wasn't a weather balloon, but the Air Material Command warned him not to divulge any further information or he would be subject to a court martial. That might be one reason why Gorman stayed pretty quiet throughout the rest of his military career, which took him to bases in Italy and throughout the U.S. He retired as a lieutenant colonel and died from pancreatic cancer in Texas in the early 1980s at the age of 59.

Breakthrough Initiatives to Fund Study into Search for Primitive Life in the Clouds of Venus

Breakthrough Initiatives, the privately-funded space science programs founded by science and technology investor and philanthropist Yuri Milner, are funding a research study into the possibility of primitive life in the clouds of Venus. The study is inspired by the discovery, announced yesterday, of the gas phosphine, considered a potential biosignature, in the planet’s atmosphere. The science team undertaking the research will comprise world-class physicists, astronomers, astrobiologists, chemists and engineers, led by Dr. Sara Seager, Professor of Planetary Science, Physics and Aerospace Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The group will investigate the scientific case for life and analyze the technical challenges of an exploratory mission in the event that such evidence proves compelling. Discovery of phosphine The new paper, from lead author Dr. Jane Greaves of Cardiff University, Dr. Seager and their collaborators, demonstrates the presence of phosphine (PH3) in the Venusian atmosphere via an analysis of millimeter-waveband observations by the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile, with additional evidence from the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT in Hawai’i). The level of phosphine detected in the clouds of Venus—about 20 parts per billion—is completely unexpected for a gas susceptible to destruction by ultraviolet radiation, either directly or by ultraviolet-induced radicals. This suggests that some process is replenishing the gas. But what process? Phosphine is a “biogenic” chemical: all samples encountered on Earth have been produced by biological or human-made processes requiring considerable energy inputs. Although the precise biological mechanisms generating phosphine are unknown, they are associated with the breakdown of organic matter by bacteria, with the gas being found in oxygen-free environments such as marshlands and swamps, as well as the guts of animals. While the presence of phosphine on Venus may turn out to stem from a non-living process, no such process on a terrestrial planet is currently known to science. “The discovery of phosphine is an exciting development,” said S. Pete Worden, Executive Director of the Breakthrough Initiatives. “We have what could be a biosignature, and a plausible story about how it got there. The next step is to do the basic science needed to thoroughly investigate the evidence and consider how best to confirm and expand on the possibility of life.” “Finding life anywhere beyond Earth would be truly momentous,” said Yuri Milner, founder of the Breakthrough Initiatives. “And if there’s a non-negligible chance that it’s right next door on Venus, exploring that possibility is an urgent priority for our civilization.” “We were stunned to find a molecule in Venus’s atmosphere that could come from organisms,” said Dr. Greaves. “We will continue to monitor and hunt for more clues, to pinpoint where exactly on the planet the phosphine is coming from.” And Dr. Seager commented, “We are thrilled to push the envelope to try to understand what kind of life could exist in the very harsh Venus atmosphere and what further evidence for life a mission to Venus could search for.” Project Leadership Dr. Sara Seager – MIT – Principal Investigator Dr. Janusz Petkowski – MIT – Deputy PI Dr. Chris Carr – Georgia Tech Dr. Bethany Ehlmann – Caltech Dr. David Grinspoon – Planetary Science Institute Dr. Pete Klupar – Breakthrough Initiatives – Chief Engineer The Breakthrough Initiatives are a suite of space science programs investigating the fundamental questions of life in the Universe. In July 2015, together with Stephen Hawking, Yuri Milner announced the launch of the $100 million astronomical program Breakthrough Listen, to reinvigorate the search for extraterrestrial intelligence in the universe; and in April 2016 they launched Breakthrough Starshot, a $100 million research and engineering program seeking to develop a new te...

Even though many of his UFO discoveries have been dismissed by experts, an unflinching Waring continues his research, and he strongly propagates the idea that aliens are visiting Earth frequently to monitor human activities. Now, after spotting a cloud-like UFO, Waring has claimed that the public will make the alien disclosure. In his recent website post, Waring revealed that the cloud-like UFO was spotted in the skies of Hereford, England. According to Waring, the UFO was apparently using the cloud as a cover as it moved across the skies. "It wouldn't surprise me if they had windows or transparent walls that allow the aliens to look down at the people and activities below. Absolutely amazing catch of a perfect disk over England yesterday. Aliens have been around us for thousands of years, but we are wising up, our technology and our intelligence are increasing and they won't be able to hide from us for long," wrote Waring on his website ET Data Base. Reptilian Aliens on Earth? Conspiracy theorists have often alleged that at least three different species of aliens are living among humans. A few days back, Waring, after analyzing a 2018 interview of Lady Gaga had claimed that the American singer could be a reptilian alien. Waring made the assumptions as Gaga expressed her desire to shapeshift during the interview. The claims made by Waring soon went viral, and his followers outlandishly argued that Lady Gaga is an alien being who maintains a good connection with the Illuminati, the hypothetical shadow government that controls the entire world. Breakthrough Listen Scans Kepler-160 System for Alien Technosignatures Link: http://www.sci-news.com/astronomy/breakthrough-listen-kepler-160-system-alien-technosignatures-08575.html Kepler-160 is approximately 3,141 light-years away toward the constellation of Lyra. The Breakthrough Listen Initiative, the largest ever scientific research program aimed at finding evidence of alien civilizations, has conducted a search for artificial radio emission associated with Kepler-160, a system of four planets that includes the newly-discovered habitable-zone planet Kepler-160e. This Sun-like star is about 12% bigger than our Sun, just 1% more luminous, and is home to at least four massive planets: Kepler-160b, c, d and e. The planets Kepler-160b, c and d are between 1.7 and 3.1 times the size of Earth and have orbital periods less than 50 days. The outermost planet, Kepler-160e (also designated KOI-456.04), has a radius of 1.9 times that of the Earth and an orbital period of 378 days. The alien world, found earlier this year in data from NASA's Kepler Space Telescope, is in the habitable zone of the host star and has an estimated surface temperature of minus 28 degrees Celsius (minus 18 degrees Fahrenheit). “This Earth-like planet candidate, given its ideal location in the habitable zone of its host star and edge-on orientation projected toward Earth, represents an ideal target for technosignature searches,” said Columbia University astronomer Karen Perez and colleagues. “We searched the radio frequency bands 1.1-1.9 GHz (L-band), 1.8-2.8 GHz (S-band), and 3.95-8 GHz (C-band) for narrowband Doppler-accelerated and wideband artificially-dispersed technosignatures,” they explained. “We observed Kepler-160 with the Green Bank Telescope for three 5-minute pointings at each frequency band, beginning on June 14, 2020 11:13 UT.” What do residents of Asgardia get?

HIP 3765 is pretty average. The yellow-orange star is about three-quarters the size and mass of the Sun, and billions of years older. It does have one distinction, though. It lines up in such a way that any astronomers in the system could see Earth pass across the face of the Sun. From that, they could determine that Earth is in the “Goldilocks Zone” — the distance from the Sun where conditions are best suited for life. And if the folks there were outgoing, they might beam greetings our way — a “beacon” for our radio telescopes to hear. But a study released a few months ago found that HIP 3765 is quiet. Three scans of the system found no evidence of such a beacon, or any other signal. The study was conducted by Sofia Sheikh, a graduate student at Penn State, as part of Breakthrough Listen — the largest effort to find other civilizations to date. This part of the project used a radio telescope in West Virginia to scan 20 stars. All of them could see Earth crossing the Sun, giving their residents a reason to try to contact us. HIP 3765 was the closest of them, at about 25 light-years. All of the stars remained silent, though, with no interstellar “howdys” beamed our way. HIP 3765 is the only one of the stars that’s visible to the unaided eye. It’s in Pisces, the fishes, which is swimming into the early morning sky. The star is low in the east at first light, but you’ll need a starchart to pick it out. Script by Damond Benningfield

ShutterstockAre we alone in the Universe? The expert opinion on that, it turns out, is surprisingly consistent. “Is there other life in the Universe? I would say: probably,” Daniel Zucker, Associate Professor of astronomy at Macquarie University, tells astrophysics student and The Conversation’s editorial intern Antonio Tarquinio on today’s podcast episode. “I think that we will discover life outside of Earth in my lifetime. If not that, then in your lifetime,” says his fellow Macquarie University colleague, Professor Orsola De Marco. And Lee Spitler, a Senior Lecturer and astronomy researcher at the same institution, was similarly optimistic: “I think there’s a high likelihood that we are not alone in the Universe.” The big question, however, is what that life might look like.

The project also searched for "technosignatures" emitting from the interstellar comet 2I/Borisov that came through the solar system last year, but didn't find any. The new data includes the results of a hunt for signs of life around 20 stars that could, in theory, detect our planet in the way that scientists on Earth see other worlds. "Because I purposely looked at nearby targets, my search was sensitive enough to locate a transmitter on par with the strongest transmitters on Earth. We can infer that there is nothing as strong as our Arecibo telescope beaming a signal toward us."

The First Alien Life We Find Is More Likely To Be Intelligent Than Not, SETI Expert Says Link: https://www.forbes.com/sites/ericmack/2020/02/19/why-the-first-alien-life-we-find-is-more-likely-to-be-intelligent-than-not/#b54d0293f10b It might seem logical to assume that the first confirmed alien life forms will be microscopic bacteria hiding out in damp Martian soils or simple organisms swimming around the hidden seas of Europa. But a leading SETI scientists says it's more likely we find evidence of extra-terrestrial intelligence before discovering alien bugs. "There are two horses in the race to find life beyond Earth," Andrew Siemion of the University of California, Berkeley, told the Association for the Advancement of Science conference in Seattle, according to iNews. "The first is the search for chemical signatures from planets and the second is the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence. Intelligent life has the edge, as it can be detected across the entire galaxy." Siemion gave a talk entitled “Hunting for Technosignatures” at the conference in the same week he announced a major data release from the Breakthrough Listen initiative, where he is principal investigator. (The data has yet to return any evidence of ETI.) "And we can never be sure that methane or similar chemicals which we detect are really produced by living things,” Siemion said. “It just comes down to statistics - basic life may be very common, but we are much less likely to find it.” Intelligent life, on the other hand, can send evidence of its existence across the cosmos at the speed of light as radio waves, laser pulses or other forms of electromagnetic radiation. SETI scientists increasing refer to looking for these signals that could never be created by nature and other signs of alien technology as the search for technosignatures. “We've seen a dramatic explosion in the number of observatories, the number of scientists... that are working in this field,” he explained. But if we do find simple life in our solar system before detecting ETI's signals, it could point to a rather dark conjecture: that life in the universe is plentiful, but it rarely survives long enough to develop the capability to reach beyond its own world.

The SETI field has been reinvigorated by the 10-year, $100M Breakthrough Listen initiative to search for intelligent life beyond Earth. As a project scientist for Breakthrough Listen, I will introduce the program and detail how we are using new technology to run the most comprehensive search for intelligent life beyond Earth ever undertaken. I will also discuss a mysterious phenomenon known as fast radio bursts: incredibly bright but short-lived signals from distant galaxies, which escaped detection until recently. Could these signals be due to intelligent aliens, or is there an astrophysical explanation? I will give an overview of how a telescope upgrade will help us answer this question, and how Swinburne astronomers will play a leading role. Finally, I will discuss what evidence would convince us that there is indeed life beyond Earth, or that the Universe is ours alone to enjoy.

Dr Bailes is the founder and Director of the Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing at Swinburne University, Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav). He is an advisor to the Breakthrough Listen project as well as leading the MeerTIME project. His team also developed a supercomputer for the 50 year-old Molonglo telescope to transform it into a pulsar timing and FRB discovery machine.We should note here that Duncan Lorimer and Professor Bailes were the original discoverers of FRBs, Fast Radio Bursts, which we have featured in a few previous episodes. Dr Bailes has a huge number of papers published with 16 thousand professional citations in Astrophysics journals. Most recently he is co-author of a paper about some puzzling discoveries about a re-awakening magnetar, using instruments including the new SKA precursor MeerKAT telescopes in South Africa, the iconic Parkes dish in Australia and the Chandra and Swift space-based instruments.

UFO author Stanley Romanek sentenced to 2 years to halfway house for child pornography possession Article link: http://www.coloradoan.com/story/news/2017/12/14/ufo-author-stanley-romanek-sentenced-2-years-halfway-house-child-pornography-possession/952799001/ Four months after his conviction for possession of child pornography, Romanek was sentenced to two years in Larimer County community corrections, a halfway house program for criminal offenders. Friends and family of the 55-year-old Loveland UFO author who says he is an alien abductee spoke of a man who was selfless and caring and would not hurt anyone. Prosecutors described the lengths of deception and denial he took to avoid a guilty verdict and blame anyone but himself. Blanco acknowledged Romanek's and his supporters' statements and said she had no doubt that he had some good in him. But still, considering the materials found on his computer over a period of time, along with the continued denial and deception, "there's a good argument for you to go to prison." She reminded Romanek that there was no longer a presumption of his innocence. But she said there may be some hope for rehabilitation, and therefore, he would be sentenced to Community Corrections based on recommendations from multiple professionals. Stephen Hawking wary of mysterious flying object, says it may be ‘interstellar spacecraft' Article link: https://technology.inquirer.net/70419/stephen-hawking-wary-of-mysterious-flying-object-says-it-may-be-interstellar-spacecraft This artist's impression shows the first interstellar asteroid: Oumuamua. This unique object was discovered on Oct. 19, 2017, by the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope in Hawaii In October, scientists discovered a massive, cylindrical object visiting our solar system, which has been dubbed “Oumuamua,” a Hawaiian term that means “a messenger from afar arriving first.” The unidentified flying object has become the subject of fascination among astrophysicists—primarily for its dubious origin. “Researchers working on long-distance space transportation have previously suggested that a cigar or needle shape is the most likely architecture for an interstellar spacecraft, since this would minimise friction and damage from interstellar gas and dust,” he was quoted as saying in a report from the Daily Star. “While a natural origin is more likely, there is currently no consensus on what that origin might have been, and Breakthrough Listen is well positioned to explore the possibility that Oumuamua could be an artefact,” he added. Hawking's findings, meanwhile, comes from a scientific body called Breakthrough Listen, a £74-million (P5.02-billion) search for intelligent alien life, which uses the world's largest maneuverable radio telescope. The project is based in Green Bank in West Virginia, USA, and is currently focused on tracking Oumuamua's movement.

“Who are we?” That impossible question opened the 2015 public letter announcing a well-heeled SETI project called Breakthrough Listen. Dozens of people—scientists, astronauts, and also a producer, a chess champ, and a soprano—signed the note, which kicked off a $100 million effort by Russian billionaire Yuri Milner to catch signals from alien civilizations. That quest, Milner and the signatories hoped, would answer that existential query.
