UM-Bot Posted May 9, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 9, 2018 The world's most comprehensive hunt for intelligent extraterrestrials is about to begin its next major phase. https://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/317905/breakthrough-listen-expands-search-for-aliens 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merc14 Posted May 9, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 9, 2018 https://www.space.com/40520-breakthrough-listen-extraterrestrial-signal-star-search.html I wonder how they search through such a vast amount of data? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a bit like flicking through the channels on mid-day TV looking for any sign of intelligent broadcasting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SETI used volunteers, individuals can download a program for analysing the signal data while their computer is idle. This saves SETI having to operate it's own big system for searching through the huge amount of data. It has been copied by other research projects since SETI, Zooniverse is a similar project. https://www.zooniverse.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the Breakthrough Listen group will end up combining their efforts with the SETI home computer network. Quote - "We will also be joining forces with University of California, Berkeley and their famous SETI@home program to bring the power of distributed computing to bear on the data. SETI@home is a platform of 9 million computers around the globe" http://breakthroughinitiatives.org/opendata/1 Using volunteers to do visual checks can pay dividends scanning through images, people are still better than computers for spotting some types of objects. https://daily.zooniverse.org/2013/09/24/hannys-voorwerp/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll offer some time again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Occams Razor Posted May 15, 2018 #9 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Good news indeed. I was disappointed to learn recently that the new SKA pathfinder radio telescope (ASKAP) in Western Australia doesn't have a SETI component to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFO photos Posted May 16, 2018 #10 Share Posted May 16, 2018 With the large distances in space, radio telescopes do not gives much meaning to the search for life. To communicate in space you need a different new tool based on QUANTUM PHYSICS If I say... QUANTUM PHYSICS EXPERIMENT IN VIENNA CONFIRMS "SPOOKY ACTION AT A DISTANCE" link I believe quantum physics will be the answer to what kind of communication that are used in space.
