Milner will invest one hundred million US dollars in the next ten years to support the project
According to the British Broadcasting Corporation reported that the British astronomer Stephen Hawking, 20, launched a search operation in human history, the largest extraterrestrial intelligent life. The operation will be carried out by means of scanning the universe of search, which lasted a decade and cost a million dollars.
Entitled "breakthrough Listening" (The Breakthrough Listen) project, fully funded by the Russian Silicon Valley entrepreneur Yuri Milner. The extraterrestrial intelligent life search operations, it will be the most authoritative human history, the most comprehensive and in-depth scientific search, designed to detect any signs of extraterrestrial life.
The search will be through radio and optical technology, including the entire Milky Way and in nearby galaxies 100 range search.
Hawking at the launching ceremony of the Royal Society of London's Science, he said: "In the vast infinite universe, there must be other forms of life."
He said: "In a place of the universe, perhaps extraterrestrial life will be staring at us to see it."
He said: "Regardless of the final extraterrestrial intelligent life exists or does not exist in the end, it is time it was officially put in, to find answers, to find extraterrestrial life this problem, we have to figure it out.."
The project will use some of the world's largest telescope, the universe farther deep to capture any radio waves and laser signals.
The project will work with a man named "Breakthrough Information" (Breakthrough Message) cooperation projects, this project through international competition, to create a human figure to represent information.
But there is no one agency is willing to send them to the universe of digital information. The project has also sparked debate about whether humans should not send any message to outer space.
