Are We Alone? The Search for Life Beyond the Earth - Professor Ian Morison
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 1 Οκτ 2014
A discussion of the prospects of
finding life, simple or intelligent, beyond our own planet, by Professor
Ian Morison of Jodrell Bank Observatory and Gresham College.
http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and...
There
is the possibility of finding evidence of life, past or present, on
Mars or even below the icy crust of Jupiter’s moon Europa. By observing
the infra-red spectra of the atmospheres of planets in nearby solar
systems we might even find evidence of simple life forms. Beyond our
local galactic environment our only chance is to intercept a signal from
another intelligent race – SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial
Intelligence – a search in which the lecturer played a role in what has
been the most sensitive search ever undertaken, Project Phoenix.
Finally, Professor Morison will give his own thoughts about how likely
our quest will be achieved.
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College Website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and...
Gresham
College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition
continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being
