Are we alone in the universe? Could there be other civilisations out there that we could possibly contact?
In 1961, Astrophysicist Frank Drake tried to formulate an equation that could answer these questions.
Today, we have finally reached a technological level that allows us to search for signs of life and technology on planets in distant star systems.
So, “Is There Anybody Out There?”
We’ll be asking that question on this very special episode of Futureproof...
Guests:
Sean Jordan - Associate Professor in Biogeochemistry and Astrobiology at Dublin City University @SeanFJ
Professor Johanna Vos - Astrophysicist specialising in exoplanet atmospheres in Trinity College Dublin @TCD_physics
Professor Lisa Kalteneger - Professor of Astronomy at Cornell and current Director of the Carl Sagan Institute @KalteneggerLisa
