Under the moon dust the proof that we are not alone could sleep: microscopic fragments capable of resisting billions of years, silent witnesses of pre-human technologies.
SETI Institute scientists propose to analyze the lunar dust in search of particles that could be remnants of extraterrestrial technology.
The search for extraterrestrial intelligence has focused its antennas on the sky for decades. Radio telescopes listen to signals, detectors search for short flashes of light. Both methods assume that a civilization is broadcasting right now. A team of the SETI Institute around Lewis Pinault chooses a different approach: Leaves foreign technology material remains that survive its builders by billions of years? As a site of discovery, the research…
The moon could have collected tiny fragments of foreign technology for billions of years. A new model shows under which conditions such particles could survive interstellar distances and remain detectable in the regolite. Even a resultlessly investigated cubic meter of lunar soil would limit extremely material-intensive scenarios of extraterrestrial technology under certain assumptions. Mountain View (U.S.A.). The classic search for extraterrest…
