ET Discovery Could Happen Within 10 Years: World Economic Forum
“ET discovery could happen within 10 years” was among the agenda at the World Economic Forum, or WEF, in Davos, Switzerland recently.
ET, or extra-terrestrial, along with economic and political issues, did make its way on that list.
"The possible social consequences of contact with alien life" is one issue that Earth may soon face, according to Nature, the international science journal.
It all happened, thanks to NASA's Kepler spacecraft.
NASA launched the “Kepler mission” to identify Earth-sized planets.
Operating for only three years, it has found thousands of candidates, including one the size of Earth, according to the WEF report.
Technology developed rapidly. “It was only in 1995 that scientists first found evidence that other stars also have planets orbiting them. Now, thousands of 'exoplanets' revolving around distant stars have been detected.”
