UWAGA: Zamiast tego polecenia może być: Choose the best answer A, B or C.
15. Astronomers are sure that there are intelligent species outside Earth.
16. Stephen Hawking claims that aliens’ visit on Earth would be beneficial to humans.
17. He believes that we might not be alone in the universe because of the number of stars and planets.
18. According to Seth Shostak, TV and radio stations and radars could let aliens know we are here.
19. The biggest problem in contacting aliens is the lack of technology.
20. Aliens that are 1,000 light years away would see the Earth as it was 1,000 years ago.
21. In the early days of research, astronomers focused on finding planets like the Earth.
22. On a gas planet, life could exist high in the atmosphere.
IS STEPHEN HAWKING RIGHT ABOUT ALIENS? The hunt for intelligent species outside Earth may be a staple of literature and film — but it is happening in real life, too. Space probes are searching for planets outside our solar system, and astronomers are carefully listening for any messages coming to us through space. How incredible it would be to get confirmation that we are not alone in the universe, to finally speak to an alien race. Wouldn’t it? Well, no, according to the eminent physicist Stephen Hawking. “If aliens visited us, the outcome would be the same as when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans,” Hawking says. He argues that, instead of trying to find and communicate with life in the cosmos, humans would be better off doing everything they can to avoid contact. Hawking believes that, based on the huge number of planets that scientists know must exist, we are not the only life form in the universe. There are, after all, billions and billions of stars in our galaxy alone, with, it is reasonable to expect, an even greater number of planets orbiting them. And it is not unreasonable to expect some of that alien life to be intelligent, and capable of interstellar communication. So, when someone with Hawking’s knowledge of the universe advises against contact, it’s worth listening, isn’t it? Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer at the SETI Institute in California, the world’s leading organization searching for signs of alien existence, is not so sure. “This is an unwarranted fear,” Shostak says. “If their interest in our planet is for something valuable that our planet has to offer, there’s no particular reason to worry about them now. If they’re interested in resources, they have ways of finding rocky planets that don’t depend on whether we broadcast or not. They could have found us a billion years ago.” If we were really worried about letting aliens know we were here, Shostak says, the first thing to do would be to shut down the BBC, NBC, CBS and the radars at all airports. Those broadcasts have been sending messages into space for years — the oldest is already more than 80 light years from Earth — so it is already too late to stop aliens watching our TV programmes. There are lots of practical problems involved in hunting for aliens, of course, chief among them being distance. If our nearest neighbours were life forms on the (fictional) moon of Endor, 1,000 light years away, it would take a millennium for us to receive any message they might send. If the Endorians were watching us, the
light reaching them from Earth at this very moment would show them our planet as it was 1,000 years ago; in Europe that means lots of fighting between knights around castles and, in north America, small bands of natives living on the great plains. It is not a timescale that allows for a quick conversation — and, anyway, they might not be communicating in our direction. The lack of a signal from ET has not, however, prevented astronomers and biologists (not to mention film-makers) from coming up with a whole range of ideas about what aliens might be like. In the early days of SETI, astronomers focused on the search for planets like ours — the idea being that, since the only biology we know about is our own, we might as well assume aliens are going to be something like us. But there’s no reason why that should be true. You don’t even need to step off the Earth to find life that is radically different from our common experience of it. Extremophiles are species that can survive in places that would quickly kill humans and other normal life- forms. These single-celled creatures have been found in boiling hot jets of water that come through the ocean floor, or at temperatures well below the freezing point of water. The front ends of some creatures that live near deep-sea jets are 200°C warmer than their back ends. On Earth, life exists in water and on land but, on a giant gas planet, for example, it might exist high in the atmosphere, eating food from the air swirling around it. And, as aliens would be so different from us, guessing their motives and intentions if they ever got in touch seems to be something that even Hawking cannot explain. Paul Davies, an astrophysicist at Arizona State University argues that alien brains, with their different architecture, would interpret information very differently from ours. “Lots of people think that because they would be so wise and knowledgeable , they would be peaceful,” adds Stewart. “I don’t think you can say that. I don’t think you can put human views onto them; that’s a dangerous way of thinking. Aliens are alien. If they exist at all, we cannot simply believe they’re the same as us.”
