Alien Life

Premise

We have talked about nearly every potential to colonize other planets or the solar system around us. What's left is our curiosity: Not only for habitable living space outside of our current reach but also for other life that may prosper elsewhere, waiting to be come in touch with. We'll explore how aliens could be detected, how we are trying to detect them and what our findings were within the last couple of centuries.

We will also explore prominent concepts around the search for alien life, namely the Fermi Paradox, the Kardashev Scale and Great Filters.
