Researchers' biggest fear is not the aliens themselves, but altogether more human. How will humanity understand itself after meeting another intelligent species?
Seti has branches around the world and employs 100 scientists, but the Post-Detection Hub is the only one of its kind; working with anthropologists, mathematicians, language philosophers, astrophysicists and space-law academics to formulate a plan for how humanity should handle an earth-shattering truth: we are not alone.
came forward to share their experience of extra-terrestrial sightings. David Grusch, a former member of the US Department of Defence agency, told a committee that “non-human” beings had been discovered, although this was discredited by some scientists. The global response to coronavirus only confirmed the urgency of these unanswered questions. “The pandemic was a very interesting example of how we can get it wrong,” says Elliott. “It’s an example of what happens when we ignore academics, despite advice that was given years in advance. It’s also an example of what can happen if we don’t have a plan in place that is ready to activate.”Elliott believes the Hub is 12 months away from having a fully formulated plan.
This is where the real problems lie. Is it wise to respond to the signal? Which scientific body should decipher it? How do we co-ordinate responses to a message that might be travelling thousands of light years, and take decades to arrive?
