Where is everyone? The idea that we are alone in the Universe is not supported by recent scientific advances. As a people, we possess the need to explore and to discover whether or not other civilizations exist out there. There is a community of like-minded individuals who possess Renaissance modes of thought that may in fact discover the answers we have been looking for. Adrian D'Amico identifies the methods of measuring civilization, why it is important, and what we can expect to find as we expand the sphere of human influence. Join us as we take a journey through the current techniques of detecting and classifying non-terrestrial civilization. Does our present search methodology conform with what we expect rational civilizations to undertake? Are there other interpretations hidden that could better explain our celestial community?
