How SETI Searches for Alien Civilizations with Seth Shostak
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ag6g0y0H9ww

Seth Shostak predicts that we are going to find ET withing 20 years. I hope it is the case because I really want to know the answer to the "Are we alone" question. Shostak also talks about how intelligent civilizations in the Milky Way know that our planet has life.

Nope. If this is reliable science, it'll be in print somewhere.

That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.

It is an educated guess, but SETI is doing a lot of progress.
