The E.T. I can't see
Discovery Feature Article
Aliens may exist but we probably can’t see them because we’re all just a bunch of chimpanzees. In the same way primates can’t understand quantum theory, we may be missing alien life because they may exist in a way that is simply beyond our understanding. These are the general thoughts of the chief astronomer to the Queen of England, Lord Martin Rees.
Lord Rees is a cosmologist, astrophysicist and the president of Britain’s Royal Society. He shared these opinions in February of 2010 while hosting the National Science Academy’s first conference on the possibility of alien life.
