SUMMARY:New Search Methods for Primitive and Intelligent Life Far From Earth- Avi Loeb
DESCRIPTION:<p>Are we alone or is the universe teeming with life?<br>is one of the most fundamental questions in science. The answer could have a dramatic impact on society and culture. Over the next decade, advances in technology will allow astronomers to address this question in new ways. I will describe a few novel techniques that could potentially detect primitive or intelligent forms of life in the solar system and around nearby stars. I will then discuss how early after the Big Bang life may have started, as well as its prospects for survival in our long-term cosmic future.</p><p>Avi Loeb is an Origins team member. He is currently the Frank B. Baird, Jr. Professor of Science,<br>Chair of the Astronomy Department and Director of the Institute for Theory and Computation (ITC)</p>
