| Description |
A brainstorming lunch with SETI Institute’s Jill Tarter. My former work colleague Rob Reid is leading a discussion on how SETI can further its mission. We had just heard her acceptance speech of a TED Prize (the <a href="http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/jill_tarter_s_call_to_join_the_seti_search.html">video</a> just went online). "I wish that you would empower Earthlings everywhere to become active participants in the ultimate search for cosmic company." Are we alone? “Well, if we are, it’s an awful waste of space.” “Perspective is a powerful thing… From my perspective, we live on a fragile island of life in a universe of possibilities.” SETI: the archaeology of the future “All of the concerted SETI efforts over the last 40-some years are equivalent to scooping a single glass of water from the oceans, and no one would decide that the ocean was without fish on the basis of one glass of water. 21st century technology allows us now to build bigger glasses, much bigger glasses.” Or if you prefer a story of hope and the human spirit, see the <a href="http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/astonishing_performance_by_a_venezuelan_youth_orchestra_1.html">TED Prize broadcast from Venezuela</a>, where the Teresa Carreño Youth Orchestra energetically perform with conductor Gustavo Dudamel, all graduates of Jose Abreu’s El Sistema. |
