GenPI.co – Avi Lope is a famous scientist Harvard University Starting an unusual project.

Scientists are taking a new approach to searching for extraterrestrials, hoping to find traces of their technology or civilization.

The project, called Galelio, will systematically search for body artifacts created by the “space technology civilization”.

Previous projects, such as SETI, explored the universe for electromagnetic signals, not objects.

“Because of the many newly discovered Earth solar systems, the Galileo project is dedicated to the idea that humans can no longer ignore the potential existence of extraterrestrial technological civilizations,” the group said.

Theoretical physicist Lope announced the Galileo program on Monday (26/7).

Lope is the longtime head of the Department of Astronomy at Harvard, which held the position from 2011-2020 and is currently a full-time professor of science at the university.

He rose to prominence after suggesting that an extraordinary object that came from outside the solar system in 2017 may be an extraterrestrial artifact that fell outside the sun.
