Big Picture Science - Skeptic Check: Aliens - The Evidence
ENCORE: Once again the aliens have landed … in theaters. It’s no spoiler to say that the latest cinematic sci-fi, Arrival, involves extraterrestrials visiting Earth.
But for some folks, the film’s premise is hardly shocking. They’re convinced that the aliens have already come. But is there any proof that aliens are here now or that they landed long ago to, for example, help build the Egyptian pyramids?
Meanwhile, SETI scientists are deploying their big antennas in an effort to establish that extraterrestrials exist far beyond Earth.
Find out why – even if E.T. is out there – one scientist says making contact is a long shot, while another pioneering scientist involved in SETI remains hopeful … and could aliens be responsible for the peculiar behavior of two star systems now making the news?
Guests:
- Ben Radford – Research Fellow with the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry and managing editor of “Skeptical Inquirer Science Magazine”
- Paul Davies – Physicist, Director of the Beyond Center at Arizona State University, and author of The Eerie Silence: Renewing Our Search for AlienIntelligence
- Jill Tarter – Scientist, Board member, and Bernard M. Oliver Chair for SETI, SETI Institute
