Scientists have warned that a NASA program called “Lighthouses in the Milky Way” (BITG) could lead to an alien invasion.” “Russia Today” (RT) reported on the 17th that scientists at Oxford University in the United Kingdom warned NASA’s plan to send position data and other information to outer space, believing that the plan may lead to dangerous unintended consequences. Including triggering an alien invasion.
The report pointed out that the plan is led by a research team led by NASA, and the goal of greeting “alien intelligent creatures” is achieved by sending data, and it is mentioned that NASA hopes to use the Allen Telescope Array (ATA) at the SETI Institute in California, USA and the The 500-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), called “China Sky Eye,” will send signals into space that will include information such as the biochemical makeup of life on Earth, the location of the solar system in the Milky Way, digitized images of humans, and invitations to outsiders. Stars responded and other messages.
According to the report, Anders Sandberg, a senior researcher at Oxford University’s Future of Humanity Institute, believes that such a plan may be risky, and if alien civilizations receive these messages, their response may be more than a friendly greeting.
In an article published last Sunday, Sandberg said the search for extraterrestrial life was fraught with “ridiculous elements” and that “many people refuse to take anything related to it seriously, which is a shame because it It’s supposed to be important.”
Meanwhile, Toby Ord, another ISS scientist at Oxford University, suggested that this should be discussed publicly before sending a message to aliens. Order added that even answering the incoming messages could be dangerous, as it could be used to entice Earthlings, “these are low risk, but they’re poorly understood and not handled very well. measure”.
The report mentioned that Ord also insisted that there is no consensus in the scientific community on the proportion of “peaceful civilizations and hostile civilizations” around the Milky Way. “Given that the downsides are likely to be much larger than the upsides, this doesn’t sound like a good time to engage aggressively, to me.”
