SETI public: Are we alone?: College offers course that seeks universal truth

• Previous message: LARRY KLAES: "SETI public: Finding Other Worlds"

Enrico Fermi, an atomic scientist back in the 1940s once posed a question to a group of like scientists when the discussion turned to extraterrestrial life. "So where is everybody?"

What he meant was: If there are all these billions of planets in the universe that are capable of supporting life, and millions of intelligent species out there, then how come none have visited Earth? This singular survey has become known as The Fermi Paradox, which is where Dr. Daniel Kainer, Associate Professor of Biological Sciences at Montgomery College, takes his springboard. Both he and Montgomery College Chemistry Professsor Marie Underdown designed the thought-provoking Astrobiology course, expounding even greater on this paradox, now being offered at Montgomery College.
