SETI scientists apply game theory to search for alien signals at anti-solar point
Researchers at the SETI Institute in Northern California have launched a multiyear project using game theory to predict when an extraterrestrial civilization might send a message from the anti-solar point.
New strategy combines astronomy and math
Scientists are testing the idea that two civilizations could independently choose the same time and place for contact. They are using the Allen Telescope Array at the Hat Creek Radio Observatory to conduct this search. A new paper published in The Astronomical Journal describes the campaign's design and initial results.
Pilot study yields no evidence yet
The first observations did not find proof of extraterrestrial technology or signals from another world. This pilot marked a milestone by testing a decades-old proposal for the first time. The team now has a foundation to build a much larger survey.
