Cosmic Conversations: Communicating with the Unknown
When
Where
Dr. Dániel Apai
Professor, Astronomy and Planetary Sciences
Dr. Chris Impey
Distinguished Professor, Astronomy
In this talk, we will explore the potential for communicating with extraterrestrial civilizations. We will discuss questions such as: Is it possible to exchange messages with aliens and how would we do it? If we can communicate, what meaning and information could and should we convey?
We will also explore who may be receiving our messages and what the anticipated recipients may tell us about our own civilization’s future. Finally, we will discuss the question whether we should only listen and keep a low profile – or also boldly transmit?
All lectures are free and open to the public. RSVP here. Doors open at Centennial Hall at 6:15 p.m. The lectures begin at 7:00 p.m. and last approximately one hour.
The lectures will be livestreamed on the UAZScience YouTube channel.
