Consider this video clip (~10 minutes) from a famous astrophysicist, Michio Kaku: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kw8dcb8iKSM
Based on this video, discuss: Will we ever find and communicate with an alien civilization?
Also consider this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GooNhOIMY0&feature=related Do you agree with Michio regarding our civilization type? Which kind of civilization are we more likely to find in space some day?
What other difficulties are there in communicating with an alien civilization? Will we be able to overcome these difficulties? Why or why not.
