Is humanity close to communicating with aliens?

Establishing contact with our intergalactic neighbors to confirm or refute the suspicions that we are not alone in the universe, has been one of the greatest ambitions of the scientific community since time immemorial.Therefore, in the last decades the technology of Transmission has reached such an impressive capacity that communicating with aliens could be a latent reality, in the case of confirming its existence.

But why have we not yet reached this point? Would it be a good idea for advanced civilizations to listen to our messages? The experts make it clear to us.

Is humanity close to communicating with aliens?

Humanity has taken thousands of steps forward in terms of technological advances.In that way, teams Today's sophisticated ones with which scientists hope to communicate with aliens, promise to capture messages from extraterrestrial beings more clearly than in previous attempts with a more obsolete transmission technology.

However, scientists like Stephen Hawking analyze that The situation is much more complex than sending a message with these powerful teams and waiting for beings from another planet to attend-or understand-the call. Listening from Earth is not as simple as that.they propose that, in order to sustain communication with aliens effectively, we need to get a concerted effort in order to transmit the signal from Earth to space or vice versa.Well, our radio and television waves or are strong enough to remain clear for a considerable time at such monumental distances.

And although it seems extremely dangerous to Stephen Hawking that alien civilizations possibly endowed with intelligence superior to human establish connections with the Earth, He has been working since 2015 to find these signs with the Breakthrough Listen initiative, a project funded by the theoretical physicist and founder of Digital Sky , Yuri Milner.

«A civilization that reads one of our messages could be billions of years ahead of us.If so, they would be much more powerful and they wouldn't see us more valuable than how we see bacteria, »Stephen Hawking said during the launch of Breakthrough Listen.

With all the risks that this implies, with Breakthrough Listen the scientists have embarked on the mission of looking for suspicious traces they might suggest the existence of alien communities. Astronomers have already made some progress in detecting hundreds of targets from 234 stars, which have been interpreted as potentially revealing signs that, in effect, we are not alone in The universe, however, contemplates the possibility that these samples have been the product of interference by space junk or perhaps a human error, who knows.

Either way, the Breakthrough initiative> is ambitious.Scientists do not settle for listening, but on the other hand, with Breakthrough Watch they hope to observe or that occurs on rocky planets with conditions similar to Earth where it is possible to support life.And with Breakthrough Starshot , they aspire to build an appropriate spacecraft to transfer scientists to these places that house extraterrestrial life.

And what language would they use to communicate with aliens? In addition to the technical part, this is another of the great dilemmas.Some scientists propose to handle universal languages ​​such as mathematics, while others rely heavily on linguistics.This leads us to question the following: to exist Could these space creatures be able to understand our messages? What do you think?

Don't get lost: These should be the traits of aliens according to science

No, it is not that you should fear the ghosts-that there may be them-but that their main mystery lies in the fact that it is such a complex, strange and chaotic construction, that you run the risk of losing yourself and never finding the way out. The reason for this architectural madness is due to the bad faith of a group of mediums, some people who took advantage of the widow of William Wirt Winchester. Without knowing it, they were with its bad arts that originated the truly strange phenomena in this mansion.Those who brought the calamity to a woman who only felt alone and abandoned.But let's start the story in its correct order, by its beginnings...

We all know the serious inequalities present in our world.It does not stop calling our attention for example that half of the world's wealth is in 1% of the population , and that it is only these few who enjoy much of the economic benefits of our planet.Poverty, decay, climate change, social unrest...What is happening today? Is it perhaps the synonymous progress of decay? It seems that this decline is quite pronounced since a recent study by NASA itself tells us that the end of humanity may be closer than we think. A world with too many differences Such an alarming study has been carried out by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.The conclusions were published recently by the British newspaper The Guardian .What we are going to say almost without anesthesia is that our civilization and way of life is so unsustainable that, at this rate, we run the risk of «collapsing». The climate change or "The unsustainable exploitation of resources", go to the same m...

Adan's rib could have been another part of his body... The statement comes from a book called «What really happened in the garden of Eden? » by Professor Ziony Zevit of the American Jewish University in Maryland .The book was published in 2013 , although it has recently resurfaced following a review in the September/October issue of the Biblical Archeology Review. The theory came to Zevit after translating and studying the Hebrew text of Adam and Eve in the history of the Old Testament Genesis .Zevit believes that the Hebrew word "tsela" is not translated as "rib", but that it can be understood in the sense of «branches that leave towards the sides of a human body in an upright position.» As men and women really ...
