One of humanity’s biggest questions is “Are we alone?”
But is that still the right question?
Astronomers have confirmed over 1,800 exoplanets in our galaxy and estimate that there are around 100 billion in total
. Abuut 50 of these seem to be habitable. So, chances are good that we are not alone.
A better question for the new age is: If ET exists, what should we do about it?
That’s what scientists at the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute discussed last month at the annual American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting.
SETI is famous for its series of telescopes that search the skies for messages that look like they could be sent by intelligent extraterrestrial beings. But so far the cosmos has been quiet.
And after 50 years of listening, some of the folks at SETI are starting to say it’s high time for a change to the way we search.
If we’re ever going to make contact, then the burden is on us to do more than listen: We should be initiating the conversation, the director of SETI’s interstellar message composition, Douglas A. Vakoch, told Business Insider.
This initiation project, Vakoch calls Active SETI.
“It may be that signalling of our intention to make contact is what’s really required to trigger a response,” Vakoch said. And so “the most critical reason to add Active SETI to our search strategy is that this may be the strategy that lets us make contact.”

Everyone here knows about the power of intention, and how intention speeds up the manifestation process. Is the mainstream media actually suggesting the uninformed public to use their intention, to initiate a first contact scenario?
I think this could be a total game changer.
