Immediately after this Premiere, at ~ 4:45pm (PDT) on Sep 23, join speaker DAN WERTHIMER for live Q&A via Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89665317478
A search is underway to find intelligent life in the universe. Can SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) researchers detect radio, infrared, or optical signals from other civilizations? Current and future SETI projects, including the new $100-million Breaththrough Prize Foundation “Listen” project, may provide an answer.
UC Berkeley astronomer Dan Werthimer, Chief Scientist at Berkeley SETI Research Center, describes the rationale for past and future searches, and shows how new technologies are revolutionizing SETI. In 2019, Dan received the Carl Sagan Prize for Science Popularization, presented by Wonderfest, the San Francisco Bay Area Beacon of Science.
