Seth Shostak, who is the main astronomer of the famous research organization “SETI”, said that humanity is only a couple of decades from being extraterrestrial life forms. Recall that the American nonprofit Institute “SETI”, founded in 1984, is engaged in research the origin, evolution and spread of life in the universe. Other in other words, the search for aliens is one of the key tasks of these scientists.
According to Shostak, by 2037, we must come across living organisms beyond our planet. Even in the galaxy The Milky Way, where our solar system is located, should be there are enough planets where biological life once began. At this astronomer notes that aliens can be like the simplest unicellular as well as intelligent creatures, significantly ahead of our civilization in development. It remains only to wait maximum 20 years.
A famous scientist says that microbes can be on Mars or moons of Jupiter: Europe, Callisto and Ganymede, that is, roughly speaking, at arm’s length from the earth. Shostak and him colleagues calculated that inside our planetary system of such places must be at least seven. But in search of intelligent life for people science will probably have to fly far into space that soon may also become quite accessible to humanity reality.
Some Western journalists have already ironically noted that Shostak is 74 years old, and it’s far from the fact that he will survive to 94. Paparazzi joking that the American is acting very visionary, making a prediction at a time when he may no longer be in this world, and there will be no one to ask for this forecast. However, on the other hand, a scientist can fully believe in his words. After all he possesses vast knowledge of space, which are simple the townsfolk did not even dream of.
At the same time, ufologists shrug in disbelief: Shostak is looking for something what we have in front of the nose and has long clicked on that nose …
