What is the significance of "looking for extraterrestrial life" to human beings?

"Searching for extraterrestrial life" lies in exploring the origin of life and pursuing the leap of human science and technology.

1, exploring the origin of life

This is always an unsolved mystery. There are many related theories in academic circles, but they all lack substantial evidence to support them, so there is no conclusion yet. Scientists believe that the intelligence level of alien creatures will not be lower than that of human beings, even beyond imagination. If we can contact them and explore the origin of life together, I believe we can solve the mystery and find the answer soon, and maybe we can promote the evolution of both sides and achieve a win-win situation.

2. Pursuing the leap of science and technology.

Fermi. He once put forward a quite famous theory, which was honored as Fermi's refutation by academic circles. He believes that the reason why alien creatures have no contact with human beings is that there is a huge difference in the degree of civilization between them, and the degree of development of alien civilization has surpassed that of human beings for at least one million years. If we can get in touch with alien creatures, even if human beings are at a disadvantage at present, we can learn from them modestly and use them for reference to control foreigners, which will help improve the scientific and technological level of human society.

Design human strategy by "looking for alien life";

Because people don't cherish it, the earth has been riddled with holes and various problems have appeared frequently. According to the current situation, in the near future, the earth will no longer adapt to the survival of living things, so it has no choice but to emigrate to other planets. But before emigrating, we must know whether there is intelligent life on this planet, and don't contradict it, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

With the familiarity of cosmology and evolution provided by astrobiology, the actual view of the earth from space has been strongly enhanced, making the world more peaceful and reducing the danger. From this point of view, it has an important political significance: as a clever scientific and technological species, it now rules the only known inhabited planet in the universe, and human beings have the responsibility to formulate an international social and political system suitable for managing our human social situation and find their own solutions.
