This article talks about an easier way to find Alien Civilizations, looking for city light. Avi Loeb and Edwin Turner think that any intelligent being would have city lights meaning if here is city lights somewhere, that must mean there are aliens there. both the knowledgeable scientist also measured that the strongest telescopes of our planet can detect city lights as far as away at the edge of the solar system!"It's very unlikely that there are alien cities on the edge of our solar system, but the principle of science is to find a method to check," Turner said. "Before Galileo, it was conventional wisdom that heavier objects fall faster than light objects, but he tested the belief and found they actually fall at the same rate." Turner here basically states that there is small chance for E.T. to be in our solar system, however the technique is easy and economic.
I think this might be bad and good for the society because some people might think that aliens will invade and the other people will think that we are not alone in the universe and maybe it would be a boost for the astronauts. I chose this article because it sounded very interesting and I like space so it made me curious. I found it while browsing science daily news. It came from the worlds most reliable source, ScienceDaily, because it has a lot of articles and uses very advanced level words meaning it's made by adults. I agree with the scientists idea because it doesn't require so high tech resources. I felt weird reading this because it sounds funny to me that we can't think of such simple things.

have they found any aliens yet.
ReplyDeleteThis is very interesting that we would think of looking for city lights. It makes sense kind of because we can see our major cities from the moon without even a telescope! I don't know if it would be a good thing to find out for society. Some people may not be able to handle it.
