SETI still searching for ET

SETI still searching for ET 09/02/2004 01:58 PM
News earlier this week that The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence group, SETI, had found a signal from ET appears to have been over blown. Described by SETI's chief Scientist, Dr Wertheimer, as "hype and noise", he went on to say that it was "nothing that is unusual. It's all out of proportion."

SETI takes data from it's Arecibo Aerial Telescope and distributes it to its thousands of users world wide for analysis. The chunk that set off last Thursday's media frenzy is called SHGb02+14a and was found by computers running the SETI program in Germany and the US. In its 6 years of operation, SETI have found 150 chunks that are potentially signals from ET; these 150 are found by statistical techniques performed on the data, which ascertains the likelihood of it being legitimate. Of the 150, so far 0 have been real.

SETI commented that "With Seti@home having analysed some 50 trillion frequency bands, it is not surprising that a signal like this occurs purely due to chance." Looks like we'll see a 40th edition of ET before ET really does phone home.

Observing the SETI observatory 07/30/2004 12:12 PM
The SETI Institute predicts that we'll detect an extraterrestrial transmission within tw enty years. If that turns out to be true, it'll probably be the folks at UC Berkeley's Hat Creek radio observatory who will have heard the call. Hat Creek is home to the SETI Institute's Allen Telescope Array (ATA), funded by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen.

I just returned from a trip with two friends to Hat Creek, about five hours northeast of San Francisco. Leading Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) researcher Jack Welch and his former student, astronomer Jim Gibson, were kind enough to give us a tour of the facility.

Is SETI Searching for the Wrong Things?

Is SETI Searching for the Wrong Things? 06/17/2005 07:11 PM
An interesting new paper by Milan M. ?irkovi? and Robert J. Bradbury suggests the problem with SETI is that it's searching for the wrong thing. The paper is titled Galactic Gradients, Postbiological Evolution and the Apparent Failure of SETI (PDF format). The authors note that everything we've learned in the last few years makes Fermi's Paradox more distrubing than ever. Common explanations for the lack of ET is that Earth is unique in some way or that all intelligent civilizations self-destruct relatively quickly. This paper propose something else. We've been looking for biological intelligence. The authors believe it may be normal for any intelligent race to evolve into non-biological, information-based life forms. The authors draw on a wide range of sources to theorize about what an advanced technological race that had evolved into machines might look like. For example, machines would likely want to locate in the coldest regions of space to achieve maximum thermal efficiency. The authors note that these ideas were initially explored by SF writers.

SETI finds suspect signal

SETI finds suspect signal 09/04/2004 03:37 PM

The folks in the SETI project are not real happy with a reporters mis-quoted of a possible signal they have found. It is true that a signal has been found and is on the suspect list but that is about as far as they are willing to go at this time. For the full details straight from the horses mouth read the release from SETI then read the distortion from CNN.

“In February 2003, astronomers involved in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) pointed the massive radio telescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, at around 200 sections of the sky. The same telescope had previously detected unexplained radio signals at least twice from each of these regions, and the astronomers were trying to reconfirm the findings. The team has now finished analysing the data, and all the signals seem to have disappeared. Except one, which has got…

SETI@home spots unusual signal... or not

SETI@home spots unusual signal... or not 09/03/2004 04:34 AM
David Pescovitz: SETI@home has turned up an unexplained radio signal from 1000 light years away that's, well, unexplained. From New Scientist:

“It’s the most interesting signal from SETI@home,” says Dan Werthimer, a radio astronomer at the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) and the chief scientist for SETI@home. “We’re not jumping up and down, but we are continuing to observe it.”

Named SHGb02+14a, the signal has a frequency of about 1420 megahertz. This happens to be one of the main frequencies at which hydrogen, the most common element in the universe, readily absorbs and emits energy.

Some astronomers have argued that extraterrestrials trying to advertise their presence would be likely to transmit at this frequency, and SETI researchers conventionally scan this part of the radio spectrum.

Update: The BBC followed up with a report quoting researchers who say that the news above was blown out of proportion and there is no signal. Nothing to hear here. Move along. (cue X-Files theme) Link

Space signal studied for alien contact

Space signal studied for alien contact
thanks to SETI@Home 09/02/2004 12:11 PM
England (Reuters) -- An unexplained radio signal from deep space could -- just might be -- contact from an alien civilization, New Scientist magazine reported on Thursday. The signal, coming from a point between the Pisces and Aries constellations, has been picked up three times by a telescope in Puerto Rico.

There are other explanations besides extraterrestrial contact that may explain the signal. New Scientist said the signal could be generated by a previously unknown astronomical phenomenon or even be a by-product from the telescope itself. But the mystery beam has excited astronomers across the world.

"If they can see it four, five or six times it really begins to get exciting," Jocelyn Bell Burnell of the University of Bath in western England told the magazine.
