SETI May Have Found Alien Life!

“We’ll find E.T. within two dozen years.” SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) senior astronomer Seth Shostak is sure of it and there’s the strong possibility they already have!

Shostak estimates that the computing technology and space research instruments would have enough power in 2025 to search as far out as 500 light years.

 

“This is enough based on scientist Frank Drake’s estimate of there being 10,000 civilizations in our galaxy alone capable of creating radio transmitters–to find evidence of life intelligent enough to broadcast its existence”, according to the SETI astronomer. The Allen Telescope Array (ATA) unveiled october 2007 by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen will play a huge factor in this.

 

But there’s a strong possibility they’ve already had ET on the line!

He just has to phone back…

 

(more…)

 

 

It must have cost heaps and it’s quite debatable if the use on election night was warrented, but CNN made television history going live with a hologram reporter in Chicago.

 

Jessica Yellin took place at the center of a circle consisting of 35 high definition cameras catching her every move… moments later she was beamed live in 3D at the CNN studios in New York.

 

Debatable?

Cool?! Absolutely, but what’s the point of having a reporter at the scene (in this case, Obama’s campaign headquarters) and then filtering the whole local scene out just to get that reporter back in the studio?

 

Cool technology… but probably a bit misused in this case. Though it’s certainly applaudable that CNN experiments with cutting edge technologies like these.

 

Watch the hologram for yourself right here!

 

> Have your say! What do you think of CNN’s election coverage and its hologram?
