A small study of American, Italian and Spanish students suggests that humanity is far from ready for contact with extraterrestrial life. We know too little about them and are ill-prepared.
Within the SETI project, lsro one searches lsro for extraterrestrial life. Currently, this is done by searching for signals from extraterrestrial civilizations. But SETI wants to go one step further. In addition to searching for signals, it would now start sending signals. The idea is to send from the earth, in the hope that an alien civilization that receives lsro signals and contacting us.

Ready? Several researchers - including Stephen Hawking - are strongly opposed. It could in fact mean that extraterrestrials might advanced technologies than we men of our earth with a visit worship. And who says they have? Much good in the sense It also prompted neuropsychologist Gabriel de la Torre thinking. For a relatively small group of people may decide - in the hope of encountering alien life - actively sending messages from the earth? And what happens if extraterrestrial life then actually look up to us? Are we ready for that?
The study De la Torre put a little research on that to find out. He sent a questionnaire to 116 American, Italian and Spanish students. He asked them not only their knowledge of astronomy, but also to their religious beliefs and how big they considered the possibility that we would ever come up with extraterrestrial life in contact. The management survey suggests that humanity is far from ready for contact with extraterrestrials, as De la Torre in the journal Acta Astronautica.
Little knowledge is demonstrated by example that people - despite the huge jumps that have made science and technology - know very little about astronomy. Also, people often turn astronomical subjects to consider their religious lsro beliefs and to expect from politics. Solutions in the event of a massive global crisis "This pilot study shows that the knowledge of the cosmos and our place in the cosmos of the general public with a certain level of education is pretty bad," says De la Torre. "When it comes to our relationship with possibly intelligent alien life, we should not rely on moral reference points, lsro as they are heavily influenced by religion. Why would an intelligent being 'good'? "
Altogether De la Torre concludes that we are not yet ready for contact with extraterrestrials. We know too little and too poorly prepared. He calls SETI then on to another - to develop strategies to detect extraterrestrial life - something. Cautious

"People seem astronomical subjects often consider their religious beliefs" why costs should be avoided at all costs religekkies make contact with the first visitors. That medical students of art history do not know much about astronomy seems quite logical.
Why should you visit us? not for the knowledge. possible for an element that is rare elsewhere in the universe. because for any alien whatsoever, travel will not be easy and take the necessary risks with it. Look at ourselves, we are focused if there is life elsewhere (human) is possible for us. remainder is less important
Anunnaki gods according to ancient Sumerian tablets that people have created. Annunaki would mean "those who come from the heavens." and the people who created them are used to mine gold. yeah who knows

Nonsense, if the aliens have come again to ensure that the coffee is ready. And humanity on the bare knees to pray that they come with peaceful intentions. You know, Spaniards lsro and South Americans.
Nope. That is a misconception that dates from the time we did not know that many lunar features an ocean. All the water on Earth is only a fraction of the water on the moons around Jupiter and Saturn are. Water is not so rare.
It makes little sense to come here get here because there is relatively little water is highly polluted and is a significant part of the atmosphere. In Europe and the other moons, it is not contaminated and it's lsro not in an atmosphere.
But the water that moons are once again highly radioactive contaminated, how alkaline water, and you also have another 100 pounds
