How Close Are We to Meeting Aliens?

Dr.Docs' Take

This one skips the little grey men and asks the better question, that in a universe this size, why is the phone not ringing. It walks through what alien life might actually be, whether we could even recognize a message, and how something far past us might regard the ants doing the looking. I love that the scariest answer is not that we are alone, but that we are interesting to something. Good to put on right before you want to feel very small.

This documentary asks how close humanity really is to encountering alien life, imagining a universe filled with intelligent beings. It explores what such life might look like, whether we could communicate with it and how it might regard us. Drawing on science and speculation, the film weighs the odds and the implications of finding we are not alone. It is a thought-provoking journey into one of our oldest questions.
