Dear everyone,

 speaker: Professor J.V. Narlikar
affilliation: Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics, India (IUCCA)
Time: 9:30am Aug. 8 (this Friday )
Place: middle meeting room
Abstract:  This talk will begin with a description of how vast is our universe. It will then speculate on the possibility of life in it,preferably of the advanced type. Mention will be made of attempts to contact such advanced extra-terrestrials. It will be argued that this may be a long drawn out procedure. In the second part of the talk there will be a brief description of attempts by Indian scientists led by the speaker to sample air from heights up to 40 km above the Earth's surface. Microorganisms have been  found in these air samples, raising the intriguing possibility that they may be extra-terrestrial.
 

Please tell each other to participate in.
