1) ARE WE ALONE?
The idea of people all over the world using their home computers to scan radio signals for signs of extra-terrestrial intelligent life may sound like science fiction, but that’s exactly what’s been happening for the last fourteen years thanks to the Berkeley-based SETI@home project. Yet while the large-scale experiment hasn’t yet made contact, scientists aren’t deterred. Hear about the possibilities of life beyond our planet in a conversation with SETI@home co-founder and chief scientist Dan Werthimer, titled “Is Anybody Out There?” At Sutardja Dai Hall; noon-1 p.m., free.
