Alien life topic of Sagan talk "Possibilities oflife on other planets is now a certainty, despite the fact that we do not know if there is life elsewhere," commented world famous scientist Dr. Carl Sagan in a lecture in the Student Union Friday evening. "In fact, I could give an extremely short presentation and merely say that we do not know if there is life elsewhere. "However, we know an increasing amount of information, and with the Viking spacecraft set to blast off in August, we are on the verge of performing the first critical tests to determine if there's life elsewhere or not." Dr. Sagan, advisor for the Viking space mission, is head of Cornell Uni versity's laboratory for Planetary Studies and author of the best-selling book "Cosmic Connection." Sagan's talk was the first in a series of lectures co-sponsored by Palomar and MiraCosta Colleges . "There are two principal methods
which we are on the verge of using. One is to send unmanned spacecraft to land on other planets and thereby directly searching for life. "The other is to use large radio telescopes to see if there are radio signals being sent our way by intelligent beings on planets of other stars. "So despite the fact that we are still very ignorant about this subject, we will shortly, I hope, be much more enlightened." Dr. Sagan presented a new veiw of the search for life in other parts of the universe by initiating an imaginary search for intelligent life on earth. "Imagine that we are Martians probing earth. At what point do we discover intelligent life?" Dr . Sagan then showed several photographs, one of the earth from a distance, one full size view ofthe earth, and one of the eastern sea board of the United States.
"This is the east coast, and there's no sign of life going on. The only thing you can determine about New York City is that it is dirty. The whole landscape has been discolored. This is true of all urban areas on this planet. "At kilometer resolution (which means the photo was taken one kilometer above the area), there is no sign of life in Los Angeles, New York, Moscow, or Peking. The only things these places show is dirt. "It would take a very clever Martian to discover that dirt is an intelligent sign of life. "Therefore, you could have a planet with a lot of life on it, and unless you make a very major effort to find that life, you might erroneously conclude the planet was lifeless. "For all of our senses of being important on this planet, we are largely invisible.lt is kind of a useful perspective upon our pride that such pictures
