The first international conference on the problem of extraterrestrial civilizations, and contact with them, was held in September 1971 in Soviet Armenia. The conference was a gathering of specialists working in a wide variety of fields—astronomy, physics, radiophysics, computer science and technology, chemistry, biology, linguistics, archaeology, anthropology, sociology, and history—and included many scientists whose reputations are worldwide. For example, Freeman Dyson, Philip Morrison, and Charles Townes were among the American participants; their Russian counterparts were of comparable distinction. The conference was jointly organized by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (with assistance from the U.S. National Science Foundation) and the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. Scientists from several other countries also participated. Many aspects of the problem of extraterrestrial civilizations were discussed in detail, and these discussions are fully presented in this book. Particular attention is devoted to the following questions: the plurality of planetary systems in the universe, the origin of life on Earth, the possibility of life arising on cosmic bodies, the origin and evolution of intelligence, the origin and development of technological civilizations, problems in searching for intelligent signals or for evidence of astroengineering activities, and the problems and possible consequences of establishing contact with extraterrestrial civilizations.… (más)
El hombre ha avanzado mucho en el camino del conocimiento de sí mismo y de su situación en el universo. Y por primera vez se da cuenta de que está o puede estar en condiciones para entrar en contacto con seres de otros mundos. Esta búsqueda de seres dotados de inteligencia igual o superior a la nuestra en otros lugares del universo constituye una cuestión fundamental, no sólo desde el punto de vista científico sino filosófico y humano. Supone una posibilidad de situar a la humanidad en un contexto cósmico y así dar un paso más en la resolución del eterno problema de quiénes somos, de dónde venimos y qué nos reserva el futuro: un futuro en un universo más amplio de lo que nuestros antepasados podían soñar, tanto en extensión como en duración. Este libro contiene las ponencias y conclusiones de un congreso que se celebró en 1971, en la Armenia soviética, y en el que destacados científicos de todo el mundo expusieron sus conocimientos y opiniones sobre la comunicación con inteligencias extraterrestres. La obra, a cargo de Carl Sagan —que ha reunido y elaborado los materiales de dicho congreso—, constituye una exposición completa del estado actual de las investigaciones sobre el posible contacto con seres inteligentes de otros mundos y un punto de partida para cualquier estudio futuro sobre la materia.
