The search for other 'earths' heats up ‘Are we alone?’ and ‘Is there life elsewhere?’ are questions that have been described as the most important ones facing science. Indeed, until very recently, these questions remained in the realm of speculation. Today, we have the tools to address them methodically, step by step. Fifty years ago, physicist Philip Morrison had said this about the search for extra-terrestrial life: “The probability of success is difficult to estimate; but if we never search, the chance of success is zero.” We are at a critical juncture of the search for life elsewhere. If the nearest thousand stars, with all their planets, are conclusively found to harbour no life at all, then the odds of life existing in our galaxy will be extremely low, if not nil. But if we do find even primitive life in one of our neighbouring star-planet systems, then the Milky Way must statistically be full of life, some of it probably quite advanced elsewhere. Either way, it will be an extraordinary conclusion for science to reach. Nidhal Guessoum is a professor of physics and astronomy at the American University of Sharjah. Published on: Section: Page:

Showcasing Sharjah A bicycle leans against a wall down a littered alleyway. Men smoke shisha at a makeshift street-side cafe. Circus performers grin at the camera. A farmer coaxes his cow to feed. A solitary pair of shoes sits at the edge of the lapping ocean. Viewing these images is like the daily scroll most of us make through a social media feed -- and that is exactly the point. These are just a few photographs in the #Sharjah1000 exhibition currently showing at Sharjah Art -Foundation.The Jordanian Rami Jaber, who is the acting director of corporate relations at the American University of Sharjah, was born and raised in the Emirate, and is one of the thousands of people the exhibition has attracted.

Astrophysicist Nidhal Guessoum, Professor and Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the American University of Sharjah, said people should depend on astronomical calculations because traditional methods are not accurate.
