Searching for ET
Seth Shostak of the SETI Institute discusses the different and new ideas to search for extraterrestrial life. Instead of looking to old fashion radio waves, such as neutrinos which are particles that can pass through planets. Other ideas include shooting beams faster than light, sending gravity waves and making large objects that orbit a star but are not shaped like planets. These objects would then show up differently to satellites such as Kepler. So even though many of these ideas are out there, humans are yet to be advanced enough to engage in this kind of communication.
