Extraterrestrial Intelligence

Extraterrestrial intelligence refers to the potential existence of intelligent life beyond Earth. It involves the study and search for signals, technologies, or other evidence of advanced civilizations on planets or in space. Scientists use techniques like telescopes and space probes to detect signs of life, such as unusual electromagnetic signals or planetary conditions suitable for life. While no definitive proof has been found yet, the discovery of extraterrestrial intelligence would have profound implications for our understanding of life’s place in the universe. The field combines astronomy, biology, and technology to explore one of humanity’s most profound questions: Are we alone?
