Are We In A 'Galactic Zoo' Protected By Aliens? Scientists Meet To Investigate The 'Great Silence' Article Link: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamiecartereurope/2019/03/18/are-we-in-a-galactic-zoo-protected-by-aliens-scientists-meet-to-investigate-the-great-silence/ Are we alone? Probably not. After all, astronomers have already found 4,001 confirmed exoplanets in our Milky Way galaxy, and expect there to be\xa0over 50 billion exoplanets\xa0out there.\xa0 What is the \u201czoo hypothesis\u201d? This is a mind-warping idea that there are alien civilizations out there (no, not on Oumuamua) that know all about us, but purposefully hide from us. It certainly explains the \u201cGreat Silence.\u201d\xa0 \u201cPerhaps extraterrestrials are watching humans on Earth, much like we watch animals in a zoo,\u201d explains Douglas Vakoch, president of METI. \u201cHow can we get the galactic zookeepers to reveal themselves?\u201d At a workshop, Vakoch proposed that humans should be more active in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. \u201cIf we went to a zoo and suddenly a zebra turned toward us, looked us in the eye, and started pounding out a series of prime numbers with its hoof, that would establish a radically different relationship between us and the zebra, and we would feel compelled to respond,\u201d he said.
