Is It Dangerous or not To Transmit Signals?

Transactions of IAA RAS, issue 22, 3–9 (2011)

Keywords: extraterrestrial civilization, SETI and METI, ethical problem of METI

Abstract

In recent years discussions on whether it is dangerous or not to send signals to extraterrestrial civilizations have been spreading in the Internet, in the scientific and quasi-scientific community. Such mentalities are probably provoked by fantastic movies that fill television screens. However, we must recognize that some scientists also express concern. See, for instance, discussions at the conference in Kavli, October 2010. Ethical and technical aspects of METI are examined. Pro and contra arguments are discussed
