The mathematical probability that there is extraterrestrial intelligence somewhere in our universe
What is Infinite? the universe is infinite meaning that mathematical probability of there more earth-like planets that can hold extraterrestrial intelligence is infinite.

Devices that allow us to reach out to intelligent life
What is sending out probes into space?

This is the minimum distance a vessel would need to travel to reach our nearest solar system.
What is at least 4 light years?

The area in which Earth transits would be visible is a relatively narrow strip. It gets even narrower if restricted to geometries in which the Earth passes less than half a solar radius from the Sun’s centre — which gives a transit that should be easily visible.
What is Transit Zone
200
This equation, named after and founded by a famous scientist who also shares his name with a famous rapper, attempts to predict the number of civilizations in our galaxy with the potential to communicate in enhanced ways.
What is The Drake Equation
200
In 1896, this famous physicist conducted experiments at his Colorado Springs experimental station, using his wireless electrical transmission system to attempt to contact beings on Mars.

The energy needed to launch rockets into space can cost quite a lot, averaging this amount.
What is 500 million dollars?

In the next five or so years, this agency’s satellite is likely to discover most of the nearby stars in the Earth transit zone and to look for extraterrestrial intelligence who might be looking for us.
What is European Space Agency's Gaia satellite
300
This equation, modeled after the ($400) equation, seeks to define the probability of finding extraterrestrial intelligence through estimating the potential number of habitable planets within our galaxy.
What is Saegar Equation
300
In 1960, this Cornell University astronomer conducted the first modern SETI experiment, named “Project Ozma,” using a radio telescope to observe the stars Tau Ceti and Epsilon Eridani.

Organizations might be hesitant to search for extraterrestrial intelligence because of these horrid consequences.
What is armageddon by Aliens?

In 2010, this instrument in northern California looked for signals coming from the region of space directly opposite the Sun in order to test whether extraterrestrials might be timing any transmissions to reach Earth just as they see it transiting the Sun.
What is What is the Allen Telescope Array
400
This paradox attempts to explain the lack of evidence between intelligent extraterrestrial life, even though there is an extremely high mathematical probability of there being intelligent extraterrestrial life.
What is the Fermi Paradox
400
In 1992, this U.S government funded operational SETI program was a long term effort to do a general survey of the sky and carry out targeted searches of 800 specific nearby stars, using radio antennas associated with the NASA deep space network, as well as a 140 foot radio telescope in West Virginia, and a 1,000 foot telescope in Puerto Rico.
What is the NASA Microwave Observing Program (MOP)
400
Viewing a planet as it crosses in front of its star
What is Transit Photometry?
400
Intelligent civilizations rise and fall, In the span of the universe, humans have only been around for this small amount of time.
What is less than 0.005 percent?
400
a privately funded series of long-term astronomical programs that is teaming up with the National Astronomical Observatories of China (NAOC) to scour the skies with some of the world's most powerful telescopes in search of signs of intelligent life.
What is Breakthrough Initiatives
500
Based on the model for advanced civilization measurement, known as the Kardashev scale, Type ______civilizations are civilizations that can harness some energy from their neighboring star. Whereas Type ______ can harness all of the energy from their neighboring star, and Type ______can harness all energy within their host galaxy.
What are Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3? We (humans on earth) are considered a Type-1 civilization. We have never found any other Type-1,2, or 3 civilizations on any other planet; neither within our galaxy, nor the universe.

Announced in July 2015, this $100 million, ten year initiative has been described as the most comprehensive search for alien communication to date. The project will use thousands of hours every year on two major radio telescopes: The Green Bank Observatory in West Virginia, and the Parkes Observatory in Australia. (previously only 24-36 hours of telescope per year was used on the search for aliens)
What is Breakthrough Listen?

Extraterrestrial intelligence could be sending signals currently, but humans could be missing them because of this.
What is inadequate technology?
500
the world's largest single-dish radio telescope (located in China's Guizhou province) working in conjunction with Breakthrough Listen to hunt for signals from space. The enormous instrument saw first light only a few weeks ago, on Sept. 25, 2016. Together, the organizations will exchange observing plans, search methods, and data, as well as host a series of meetings and conferences to improve their methods.
