  • Searching for Alien Technology with Adam Frank

    Could we discover an alien civilization by the technology it creates? In our inaugural episode, astrophysicist Adam Frank from the University of Rochester describes his search for such “technosignatures.” It’s a new way to find out whether we are alone in the universe or not. Aliens may have engineered the surface of their far-off homeworld, or if they ever visited our solar system, they could have left artifacts on the moon. Frank is looking. Also, co-host George Musser reports on his visit to SNOLAB, a cutting-edge physics laboratory 2 kilometers deep under Ontario, Canada.

About The Fermi Paradox

From the publisher's feed

The universe should be teeming with life, so where is everybody? This mystery is known as the Fermi Paradox. Corey S. Powell and George Musser, two award-winning science journalists, search for answers. We interview top astronomers, philosophers, and science-fiction creators. We run down every possibility, from alien artifacts on the moon to signals from deep space. And we prepare for the possibility: If we make contact, how will we talk to an alien civilization?
