1
00:06:24,719 --> 00:03:16,760
you

2
00:06:26,490 --> 00:06:24,729
sink and then they remember oh I saw

3
00:06:27,810 --> 00:06:26,500
well this you know it's halfway through

4
00:06:29,460 --> 00:06:27,820
the process how can they get back you

5
00:06:31,050 --> 00:06:29,470
know there isn't a legitimate way out of

6
00:06:33,980 --> 00:06:31,060
this because we're using the file

7
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:33,990
interface rather than the shared memory

8
00:06:41,310 --> 00:06:37,090
because right now what I'm having Terri

9
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:41,320
do is as he gets in a frames worth of

10
00:09:11,850 --> 00:06:46,050
data spectra the polarity and the power

11
00:09:16,500 --> 00:09:13,870
everything we've learned in our modern

12
00:09:19,420 --> 00:09:16,510
studies of astronomy a biology of

13
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:19,430
evolution of life have showed that the

14
00:09:23,410 --> 00:09:21,410
steps which led to our being here

15
00:09:26,230 --> 00:09:23,420
including our high technology using

16
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:26,240
civilization are completely normal steps

17
00:09:30,910 --> 00:09:28,250
in the evolution of a star and its

18
00:09:33,130 --> 00:09:30,920
planets and therefore the steps which

19
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:33,140
led to our existence should have

20
00:09:36,550 --> 00:09:35,090
occurred in many many places and

21
00:09:41,010 --> 00:09:36,560
therefore there should be many

22
00:09:45,910 --> 00:09:41,020
technology using civilizations in space

23
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:45,920
he channels at once it takes the

24
00:09:51,370 --> 00:09:48,530
incoming energy and sorts it out into

25
00:09:53,650 --> 00:09:51,380
those 15 million channels and then a

26
00:09:55,750 --> 00:09:53,660
computer looks at the result to see it

27
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:55,760
if whether in any of those channels

28
00:10:01,510 --> 00:09:58,250
there are indications of the presence of

29
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:01,520
a signal if such indications are present

30
00:10:06,190 --> 00:10:04,250
it notifies an operator who takes over

31
00:10:08,980 --> 00:10:06,200
and then takes whatever steps are

32
00:10:11,020 --> 00:10:08,990
appropriate to determine what the origin

33
00:10:13,300 --> 00:10:11,030
of that signal is and of course in

34
00:10:19,210 --> 00:10:13,310
particular whether it is an intelligent

35
00:10:21,390 --> 00:10:19,220
signal of extraterrestrial origin the

36
00:10:23,830 --> 00:10:21,400
goals of our project are to

37
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:23,840
systematically searched through the

38
00:10:29,830 --> 00:10:26,930
microwave region of the spectrum to

39
00:10:34,450 --> 00:10:29,840
attempt to find evidence of another

40
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:34,460
technology out there by picking up radio

41
00:10:38,710 --> 00:10:37,010
signals that they may have generated in

42
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:38,720
order to attract our attention or for

43
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:43,250
their own purposes NASA is interested in

44
00:10:48,490 --> 00:10:45,530
this project because it's interested in

45
00:10:50,770 --> 00:10:48,500
understanding the universe and life as

46
00:10:53,950 --> 00:10:50,780
we know it is a planetary phenomenon and

47
00:10:56,500 --> 00:10:53,960
from what our scientists tell us is a

48
00:10:59,050 --> 00:10:56,510
natural part of the universe and so

49
00:11:01,990 --> 00:10:59,060
we're just looking for other evidences

50
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:02,000
of the outcome of the laws of physics

51
00:11:05,210 --> 00:11:03,290
and chemistry and just trying to

52
00:11:11,300 --> 00:11:05,220
understand our place in the universe

53
00:11:12,889 --> 00:11:11,310
oh not only NASA is interested in

54
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:12,899
looking out there to find other

55
00:11:17,929 --> 00:11:14,610
technology and therefore other

56
00:11:19,639 --> 00:11:17,939
intelligence but everyone is interested

57
00:11:21,170 --> 00:11:19,649
and we've been as we've been interested

58
00:11:23,119 --> 00:11:21,180
since as long as we've had recorded

59
00:11:26,079 --> 00:11:23,129
history the ancient Greeks and Romans

60
00:11:28,550 --> 00:11:26,089
used to wonder about who lived up there

61
00:11:30,949 --> 00:11:28,560
we used to ask the question to the

62
00:11:32,900 --> 00:11:30,959
priests and philosophers from and we

63
00:11:33,470 --> 00:11:32,910
took whatever answers they gave us right

64
00:11:35,300 --> 00:11:33,480
now

65
00:11:37,220 --> 00:11:35,310
NASA is interested because scientists

66
00:11:39,079 --> 00:11:37,230
and engineers actually have the

67
00:11:41,569 --> 00:11:39,089
technology to make an experimental test

68
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:41,579
and we may be successful in answering

69
00:11:49,759 --> 00:11:47,970
this age-old question if our if our

70
00:11:52,069 --> 00:11:49,769
equipment finds a signal and then tells

71
00:11:54,499 --> 00:11:52,079
us about it we'll spend a lot of time

72
00:11:56,900 --> 00:11:54,509
trying to verify that this is really

73
00:11:59,809 --> 00:11:56,910
what we think it is it's really a signal

74
00:12:03,829 --> 00:11:59,819
that's coming from someplace on the sky

75
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:03,839
that moves the way the Stars do and then

76
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:07,290
after we've done that verification and

77
00:12:11,090 --> 00:12:08,970
if possible and independent confirmation

78
00:12:12,530 --> 00:12:11,100
then we'll tell the world and we'll tell

79
00:12:15,139 --> 00:12:12,540
the world as quickly as we can

80
00:12:17,329 --> 00:12:15,149
and as openly as we can and we'll we'll

81
00:12:20,170 --> 00:12:17,339
make all the data from the discovery

82
00:12:22,490 --> 00:12:20,180
site and the subsequent verification

83
00:12:24,170 --> 00:12:22,500
available to the public or to other

84
00:12:27,189 --> 00:12:24,180
scientists so they can make their own

85
00:12:31,939 --> 00:12:30,499
we know so little about the potential

86
00:12:33,650 --> 00:12:31,949
out there for extraterrestrial

87
00:12:35,179 --> 00:12:33,660
technologies that we're actually trying

88
00:12:37,970 --> 00:12:35,189
to search simultaneously in two

89
00:12:41,299 --> 00:12:37,980
different ways one is that we pick out

90
00:12:43,009 --> 00:12:41,309
locations like our own we find stars

91
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:43,019
that are nearby they're very much like

92
00:12:49,730 --> 00:12:46,490
our Sun and we spend a lot of time

93
00:12:52,569 --> 00:12:49,740
trying to get the weakest signals that

94
00:12:55,639 --> 00:12:52,579
might be coming from these nearby stars

95
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:55,649
this is because a star like our Sun has

96
00:12:59,660 --> 00:12:57,689
an earth at least in one case that we

97
00:13:02,150 --> 00:12:59,670
know about and so we look for similar

98
00:13:03,799 --> 00:13:02,160
locations the other way we search is to

99
00:13:05,540 --> 00:13:03,809
say that might be right

100
00:13:07,730 --> 00:13:05,550
we might be right in guessing that it's

101
00:13:09,499 --> 00:13:07,740
a solar-type stars that we want but it

102
00:13:10,850 --> 00:13:09,509
might be the right star might be a long

103
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:10,860
way away it doesn't show up in our

104
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:14,250
catalogs so but it might have

105
00:13:19,550 --> 00:13:17,250
a really strong technological signal

106
00:13:21,350 --> 00:13:19,560
that we could detect if we were only to

107
00:13:23,990 --> 00:13:21,360
look in that direction so we do an

108
00:13:25,850 --> 00:13:24,000
all-sky survey at the same time and we

109
00:13:27,170 --> 00:13:25,860
use smaller telescopes so that we can

110
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:27,180
move them rapidly across the sky

111
00:13:31,580 --> 00:13:29,850
covering all directions we never stay at

112
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:31,590
any one direction and any frequency very

113
00:13:35,450 --> 00:13:33,930
long so the signal intrinsically has to

114
00:13:37,610 --> 00:13:35,460
be stronger for us to find it

115
00:13:39,830 --> 00:13:37,620
but we could find it that way where we
