   英国著名物理学家斯蒂芬·霍金与俄罗斯商人尤里·米尔纳在伦敦举行联合记者会,宣布两人将为寻找外星生命迹象的新倡议投资1亿美元。


  请看美联社的报道:
  Renowned 1 physicist 2 Stephen Hawking 3 and Russian billionaire Yuri Milner are pushing the search for extraterrestrial life into higher gear. The pair said Monday the $100m program funded by Milner will combine unprecedented 4 computing 5 capacity with the world's most powerful telescopes in a search of the heavens. Milner said the search will be entirely 6 transparent 7 and will rely on open-source software so findings can be shared throughout the world.
  著名物理学家史蒂芬·霍金和俄罗斯亿万富豪尤里·米尔纳的联合将外星人搜索推向了一个全新的高度。两人20日透露,将由米尔纳出资1亿美元,以前所未有的方式充分利用计算机技术和世界上最强大的望远镜,开启太空搜寻。米尔纳表示,搜寻将全程透明,且使用开源软件,保证最终的发现成果由全世界共享。
  霍金1亿美元寻智慧外星人
  外星人用英文表示可以是alien,这个词也有外国人、陌生的等含义。此外上文中的extraterrestrial life可以表示外星生命,这是个天文学名词。ET也可以表示外星人,是extraterrestrial的缩写。智慧外星人即extraterrestrial intelligence。此次寻找外星人计划的英文为search for extraterrestrial intelligence,简称SETI。
  在此次伦敦皇家科学学会寻找外星生命迹象的启动仪式上,霍金说:“在无限的茫茫宇宙中(in an infinite universe),一定存在着其它形式的生命( other occurrences of life)。或许外星生命会正盯着我们看呢。不管怎样,这都是最重要的问题。是时候有人来找出这个问题的答案了,去寻找地球以外的生命(search for life beyond Earth)。弄清楚我们到底是不是黑暗中孤独的存在,这点对我们很重要。”
