Description

Could there be 36 Alien Civilizations in our Galaxy? Chris Conselice and his co-author Tom Westby present a new cosmic perspective on the search for life and examine the likely number of Communicating Extra-Terrestrial Intelligent (CETI) civilizations in our Galaxy by utilizing the latest astrophysical information within their recent paper. Prof. Conselice, the professor for astrophysics at Nottingham university, discusses the idea of how many intelligent civilizations are out there with John Michael Godier. Specifically, how close are they? How many are there? And how many came before them?
