Scientists Say Most Likely Number Of Contactable Alien Civilisations Is 36 - The Guardian

Nothing funnier than getting a definitive answer on something still markedly nebulous, like SETI. Marooned as we are upon this damp and mossy rock, Christopher Conselice and his crew at University of Nottingham reckon they have a ballpark figure which Nicola Davis shares in the headline. But Are There Really 36 Alien Civilizations Out There? Well, Maybe is Stephanie Pappas's answer based upon her analysis of the same data with greyface extraordinaire Seth Shostak. He's like the anti-Avi Loeb without any sensawunda and being super pessimistic despite the fact in SETI everything's fair game and on the playing board. It gets worse as Jeff Bell and Patti Reising get Seth Shotak to drone on about how There Are Only 8 Alien Civilizations Out In Space. If we are able to find them, just follow our noses and count our sneezes as Jocelyne LeBlanc reckons The Secret To Finding Life On Other Planets May Be Dust. (CS)
