The Search for Alien Life
1:13:47 - 1:21:14 (07:26)
The instruments built by space agencies are searching for chemical correlates of life in the universe. Researchers are exploring ways to determine what to look for in alien life and the idea is to ask what should be looked for rather than assuming that it will be easy to detect.

Summary
Scientists are looking for life as high assembly objects, believing that a longer causal history or more information is needed to create such objects in the universe. Non-biological systems do not produce things with high assembly number, hinting that high assembly objects could signify the presence of alien life.

Summary
NASA and other space agencies search for chemical correlates of life in the universe, but their search may be biased by the assumption that we should know what life looks like. There's still much work to be done in exploring the possibilities of what alien life could be beyond our own understanding.
