from Lawrence, SUNDAY PhiloMadrid meeting at 6:30pm: Alien Life + News

Dear friends,

This Sunday we are discussing: alien life.

By this topic we do not only mean the crazy life we lead in a modern
city otherwise known as the rat race. However, we really do mean life
outside our planet. This is a more interesting candidate for our
discussion since there are issues about biology, language, established
beliefs such as religions and of course the mysteries of the universe
itself.

A more serious approach to the topic would be the modern science
astrobiology. I believe this is the science that will lead us to
discover alien life itself; and by life we mean carbon based life first
and foremost. To start with, you cannot do better than to listen to
these two podcasts from Scientific American. These programmes are about
a new initiative to search for alien life although they speak of alien
civilisation and intelligent life it's all about alien life.
