³ ARE SCIENTISTS EAVESDROPPING ON E.T.? ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³ SAN FRANCISCO, June 8, XMT - Scientists searching for ³
|
|
³signs of other intelligent life in the universe said on ³
|
|
³Tuesday they had analysed trillions of radio signals from ³
|
|
³space and found only 164 worthy of further investigation. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³ ``Are we hearing E.T. phoning home? It depends on how ³
|
|
³E.T. is doing the phoning,'' said Stuart Bowyer, astronomy ³
|
|
³professor at the University of California at Berkeley, ³
|
|
³referring to the popular movie character. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³ ``If they have a really advanced technological system, ³
|
|
³in which it's a TV set and a transmitter..., yeah, maybe,'' ³
|
|
³he said. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³ But Dan Werthimer, project scientist for the Berkeley ³
|
|
³team carrying out the search, said it was highly unlikely ³
|
|
³that the radio signals were the product of extraterrestrial ³
|
|
³civilisations, adding that they were more likely the result ³
|
|
³of human-made interference, such as planes flying overhead. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³ However, the scientists aim to examine the 164 strong ³
|
|
³``candidate'' signals more closely, Werthimer said. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³ The team was at an American Astronomical Society meeting ³
|
|
³in Berkeley to report on the first year of Berkeley's ³
|
|
³SERENDIP (Search for ExtraTerrestrial Radio Emissions from ³
|
|
³Nearby Developed Intelligent Populations) project. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³ The project is one of several under way around the world ³
|
|
³trying to find signs of other intelligent civilisations. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³ The Berkeley team said that in its first year, its ³
|
|
³search for extraterrestrial radio signals had covered more ³
|
|
³space than all previous searches combined. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³ Using the world's largest radio-telescope in Puerto ³
|
|
³Rico, the project has analysed 30 trillion radio signals. ³
|
|
³Much of the data is sent directly to Berkeley for analysis. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³ The idea behind the project is that, in the same way ³
|
|
³that humans are sending radio signals out into space from ³
|
|
³television and other sources, another civilisation might be ³
|
|
³likely to do the same. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³ ``Since radio waves travel at the speed of light, they ³
|
|
³offer a very fast, efficient method of communication. The ³
|
|
³hope is that other intelligent civilisations are either ³
|
|
³leaking radio waves from their own communications, or ³
|
|
³are sending out a signal on purpose -- either directly to ³
|
|
³us, or an omni-directional 'Is anyone out there?' kind of ³
|
|
³signal,'' Werthimer said. ³
