Are we alone in the Universe. Are aliens or extraterrestrial beings already here on earth, or are they watching us from afar with technologically advanced probes? It has been decades since the search for aliens began in earnest with SETI, the Search For Extraterrestrial Intelligence. So why haven't we made contact? What is the Fermi paradox and the Drake Equation and what do they tell us about he existence of ET? Why does the former chairman of the board at SETI think extraterrestrial probes may be watching us? We’re going to explore these and other questions with John Gertz.
John Gertz has been involved in the field of SETI for more than 20 years, having served three terms as chairman of the board of the SETI Institute (www.seti.org), He is also the president of a new organization that successfully campaigned to raise $100 million for SETI research, and he currently the only layman on the Breakthrough Listen board that advises on the use of that $100 million fund. His forthcoming book, Reinventing SETI, will be released in Spring 2025 by Oxford University Press.
