Alfred Webre, author of the new eBook EXOPOLITICS, will speak on Capetown, South Africa's 567mwCapeTalk, Friday June 9. EXOPOLITICS discloses a 1977 USA-Carter White House- National Science Foundation Study into extraterrestrial communication that was suppressed. Author Alfred Webre was its Principal Investigator. Exopolitics is the study of political and governmental forms in the Universe. Exopolitics is to terrestrial politics and government as exobiology is to biology.Exopolitics is a key component of Universe ecology. The eBook EXOPOLITICS is available at UniverseBooks.com. A complementary copy of Episode One of EXOPOLITICS, along with Nicky Molloy's review, can be found at: http://www.universebooks.com/nicolareview.html The winner of NIDS 2000 essay competition, Dr. Gregory L.` Matloff, Professor of Physics and Astronomy, NYU, writes: "The Reenchantment of the Solar System: A Search of Local ETs." ABSTRACT: It is argued using a conservative approach to interstellar travel that intelligent extraterrestrials (ET’s) may be present in our solar system, living in world ships that have colonized cometary or asteroidal objects during the last billion years. The originating star systems for these advanced beings could be solar-type stars that fortuitously approach our Sun within a light year or so at intervals of about a million years or nearby stars that have left the main sequence, prompting interstellar migration. If we are indeed within such a "Dyson Sphere" of artificial worldlets, we could detect their presence through astronomical means since a space habitat will emit more infrared radiation than a like-sized comet or asteroid. Interestingly, several Kuiper-Belt objects have recently been found to have an unexpected and substantial red excess. It is argued that, in opposition to the assumptions of current SETI searches, the very advanced occupants of this possible local Dyson Sphere may have as little interest in beaming radio signals in our direction as we do in communicating with termites. A research program is proposed whereby large and small college observatories would routinely monitor the spectral irradiances of Near Earth and Kuiper Belt objects while a concurrent theoretical effort models the spectral characteristics of various proposed space habitats. Much of the observational work, at least, could be dovetailed with projects designed to detect Near-Earth Objects (NEO’s) that might impact Earth in the future. Possible strategies and protocols for direct contact, requiring humans to be the active contactees are presented to be considered for use if such intelligent ET’s are discovered within our solar system.
