Cosmic Conversation with Seth Shostak | California Academy of Sciences

Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the SETI Institute, is our guest on this Cosmic Conversation. He discusses new approaches to looking for E.T., including the latest efforts to uncover signals from extraterrestrial intelligence, as well as some disturbing ideas that could change the way we hunt for cosmic company. Also, what happens if we actually manage to detect someone or something out there? Would that radically change our own society, or merely be an interesting story for a week or two? - - - 🙌 Now More Than Ever, We Need Your Support.
