The new program to find aliens was officially launched: Hawking full support

Stephen Hawking recently involved in a massive alien Search program, which is a new generation looking for extraterrestrial civilizations surveillance program, one million nearby stars in our solar system to search, use radio telescopes to listen for suspicious radio signals and laser signals , covering the sky 10 times before on similar projects, more than 50 times the sensitivity.

This program received strong support of the Russian billionaire, will invest about $ 100 million for research projects, if intelligent beings exist near the solar system, their activities are likely to be our radio telescopes to listen to. The current direction of the investigation of the project there are two, the first one is to one million stars in the Milky Way are scanned, while the center of the Milky Way star cluster monitor, scientists trying to find a radio signal an alien civilization; the second is the Milky Way galaxy might exist around low-power radio transmission signal for monitoring.

If aliens than we had 100 years to invent radio equipment, so their signals had already spread in the universe 100 million years, this time for the purposes of the universe billions of years of history can only be regarded as a moment. In the second phase of the program, scientists are exploring the possibility of sending a message of Earth's civilization, may send information in one direction one day future civilizations.

Stephen Hawking does not agree to contact extraterrestrial civilizations, he had always thought that the Earth civilization send message have been drowned. This program is supported by Russian billionaire otherwise seek support extraterrestrial civilizations still lacked funds. Stephen Hawking think certainly the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way, and warn people not to try to contact them, but Hawking support program monitor alien radio signals.

In the past 50 years, scientists have been listening space suspicious signal, look for intelligent life is a great adventure, we do not know each other in the extent to civilization, they may pose a threat to civilization on Earth. After the invention of radio, the radio signals on Earth has spread to about 100 light-years away, in the 1960s, scientists have launched a search for intelligent life in the universe plan, still no significant progress so far, only one is called WOW the suspect signal, in the past 30 years, we have not received any valuable signal.
