Stephen Hawking: we need to find aliens before they find us – tvnz

“If aliens ever appear here, it will be possible to compare with the arrival of Christopher Columbus America. And then for the Indians somehow not very well formed” – British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking for that year repeats this thesis. And every time his “revelation” people perceive with tremulous delight, they share them with each other in social networks – well, nothing to scare will not.

- the Desire to Rob us – this is one of the reasons why it is not necessary to make contact with alien races, ” explains Hawking their position.

Stephen Hawking does not believe that the brothers on reason can be trusted.

But recently scientist have developed disturbing thoughts. In his new television program “Stephen Hawking”s Favorite Places” he said that brothers in mind is to look for, but with only one purpose, to know from whom to hide.

- we Need to find aliens before they find us, ” said Hawking. And thereby justified its participation in projects, aimed at the search for extraterrestrial life.

As you know, a scientist involved in a large project Breakthrough Listen (literally – a Breakthrough in listening), which is financed by Russian billionaire Yuri Milner. He intends to rent the biggest telescopes, to pay for the creation of new technology, work astronomers. And ten years to listen to our galaxy and another 100 nearby – just over a million star systems. If the news will come from the thousands that are closest to us, it will be possible to detect even a very weak signal equivalent to a power of radiation from aircraft radar.

Stephen Hawking is involved in the project Starshot Breakthrough (Breakthrough to the stars) worth $ 100 million, which will be built miniature spacecraft and launched to the nearest star system alpha Centauri. According to plan he’ll get there in about 20 years. Will fly under a sail, which will push the light several thousand lasers.

Star system alpha Centauri, to which Hawking and Milner equip a starship.

the Spaceship will fly under sail.

In the alpha Centauri system, which is a little more than 4 lighting years, recently discovered earth-like planet. Scientists do not exclude that it might have life.

However, Hawking in your show “flew” to another planet – Gliese 832c, which in his opinion more suited to the role inhabited.

Gliese 832c more Land, located 16 light years. According to Hawking, if it is live brothers in mind and at least use radio, we will hear. But by to make itself felt not worth it. Better to lurk, even better – to hide.

I often look at the stars, ” admits Stephen Hawking, every time I think, and from there we have someone to look…

Earth (right) and her more massive and major “sister” Gliese 832c.

WAY

Hide and in fact can

Hawking tells how you can hide the Earth from greedy eyes and evil aliens. It would seem that this is impossible. However, the method is still there.

Professor David Kipping (David Kipping Professor) Columbia University (Columbia University in New York) in collaboration with his student Alex Tichy (student Alex Teachey) figured out how to make the Ground invisible – or rather to hide it so that unscrupulous brothers on reason are unable to detect the planet using existing technology. .

For example, we are looking for planets around other stars using orbital telescopes such as telescope NASA Kepler (Kepler). He “looks out” through the so-called transit method. That is watching, does the brightness of the stars from time to time. And it changes – is reduced for a short time when the disc stars are planet. The fluctuations of brightness, astronomers determine their availability and even the distance at which the planet is from its sun. And distance – comfortable or not – allows us to determine whether life on this orbit.

Astrophysicists have decided that the brothers on reason are more likely to act similarly – directed to the Sun their orbital telescopes based on the transit method. So, they can be fooled. And to make sure that it wasn’t obvious how to change the brightness of our sun when it passes the Earth disk. For this Kipping and Tichy offer a blind alien with a laser, sending impulses to them. Flash compensate for the natural drop in the brightness of the Sun. And brothers in mind will think of Land at all.

Scientists believe masking our planet will have enough laser power of 30 MW, working 10 hours a year.

Kipping and Tichy from the camp of the timid – that is, those who are afraid of contacts with representatives of advanced civilizations.

German scientists – Dr. Rene Heller (rené Heller) and Professor Ralph Pudritz (Ralph Pudritz) – recently figured that as the Earth passes on the solar disk is visible from the planetary systems, distant about 3 thousand light years. Of about 10 thousand. All of them have blind laser in the first place. And you can start with Gliese 832c, the inhabitants of which Stephen Hawking is afraid of in the first place.

LATEST NEWS

Waiting for news from the nearest neighbors

patico 23 Sep 2016 Yuri Milner, Stephen Hawking and joined them, mark Zuckerberg said the portal MailOnline, that you begin to listen for potentially habitable planet near the star Proxima Centura – she’s the third in the alpha Wentura and the closest to us star. That is, target the there radio telescopes in hope to receive the signals. In fact it’s the start of the project Breakthrough Listen.
