NASA sued by fringe scientist for failing to investigate a rock for signs of alien life
2014-01-29 19:00:13| Extremetech
A particularly litigious American, Rhawn Joseph, is suing NASA for failing to investigate an object, discovered by the Opportunity rover on Mars, that he claims is evidence of alien life. NASA, who has looked at the object with Opportunity's microscope, says the object is -- drum roll please -- a rock. Joseph's lawsuit claims that the object is a living thing that "germinated from spores," and thus NASA should be compelled to take hundreds of photos from multiple angles, and then send the original photos to Joseph for investigation. Who will blink first? (Hint: Probably not NASA.)
Understanding an alien intelligence: Generalizations from the crow

The crow and its larger cousin the raven are universally held as avian geniuses, chess champions among birds.

Alien spotting: By 2020, well finally have the ability to locate life-harboring, alien planets
2013-11-08 17:49:02| Extremetech
The universe, as you probably know, is almost impossibly large. It is almost 100 billion light years across and consists of of billions of galaxies and trillions of stars. The latest estimate is that there are up to 50 sextillion potentially habitable planets in the universe. Now it's time to go one step further, though: The scientific community is preparing to launch a bevy of new space telescopes that can peer across the universe and tell us how many of those planets actually harbor life.
