Last week, the University of St. Andrew's in Scotland announced the creation of a research hub that will bring together the best minds in the world to prepare us for the day we might meet an extraterrestrial civilization.
If aliens get in touch with us, the SETI Post Detection-Hub is meant to be a meeting point for experts to come up with a unified response.
According to the statement, "science fiction is awash with explorations of the impact on human society following discovery of, and even encounters with, life or intelligence else."
He said that we need to go beyond thinking about the impact on humans. As our understanding progresses and what we know and what we don't know is communicated, we need to coordinate our expert knowledge.
NASA scientists updated a new message to send out to any intelligent life in the universe. If they replied, what would we do?
The purpose of the new Scottish hub is to fill a policy gap by coming up with internationally agreed-upon procedures.
The SETI Institute's "Declaration of Principles Concerning the Conduct of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence" lays out the SETI community's rules.
The rules are not very clear. The SETI Post-Detection Hub is going to get a lot of work done.
Will we ever hear from them? The man said, "Elio said." We don't know.
We can't afford to be rudderless for an event that could turn into reality as early as tomorrow and we can't afford to mismanage it.
Do you talk to Extra-terrestrials? The University of St Andrew's has a research hub.
There are claims that there could be up to four alien spacecraft in our solar system.
