SETI and the Search for Life Beyond Earth with Bill Diamond

Are we alone in the universe?  Is life as we know it a rare or even unique phenomenon or is life an emergent process that might be broadly spread across the cosmos?  These are big, profound questions that for most of human history have been relegated to the domains of religion and philosophy.  But with the dawn of the space age and the advent of modern technologies, these questions now sit squarely within the domain of science.  The SETI Institute is the World’s only research organization devoted solely to the search for life beyond Earth – to understand the nature and prevalence of life beyond our planet and to explore the profound implications the discovery of such life would have on humankind.

SETI Institute President and CEO, Bill Diamond will discuss the Search for Life and Intelligence Beyond Earth, how it works, where it stands and why it matters – to everyone.  Join us we explore the science and technology, the fact and the fiction behind the search and the SETI Institute’s journey of ultimate discovery.
