Thank you, Ira.
voice-verified
Nice to have you.
voice-verified
You're both co-directors of this new lab at SETI.
voice-verified
What exactly does this lab do and how do you ask the questions we were just talking about?
voice-verified
Tell me why that's not realistic.
voice-verified
Can you give me an example of some kind of reaction that you describe as comparable to discovering intelligent life that we've gone through that they would study as a precedent for this kind of reaction?
voice-verified
Right.
voice-verified
You know, religion is another big part of Disclosure Day.
voice-verified
And one of the main arguments against disclosing the disclosure of intelligent alien life is that, as you say, it will cause major religions to collapse.
voice-verified
What do you think about this, Lucienne?
voice-verified
A Catholic nun, to be specific.
voice-verified
Right, yeah.
voice-verified
Do you think there's a disconnect in the way scientists at SETI think about this question versus the public?
voice-verified
What about the impact on the scientific community where for all these years and, you know, going back to Carl Sagan and before that, talking about how we, you know, we need extraordinary evidence for an extraordinary discovery.
voice-verified
Would they how would they react if it were true, do you think?
voice-verified
Would they say, well, how could we have been wrong for so many years?
voice-verified
Or, well, that's how science works.
voice-verified
After the break, what our guests think about the UAP hearings in Congress.
voice-verified
Stay with us.
