How can modern science try to answer this age-old question? Prepare for a glimpse into the scientific method applied to the search for alien intelligence, and how we might meet them.

The Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence attempts to discover, once and for all, an answer to the age-old question of whether other intelligent life exists among the stars. This discussion describes how searches for signs of intelligent life are conducted and informed by scientific astronomical considerations. The implications of search results to date are explored, including thought-provoking ideas such as the concept of Galactic colonization and a possible glimpse of the future with speculation about interstellar travel.
