"The Quest for Cosmic Companions"
For millennia, humanity has pondered one of the most profound questions: Are we alone in the universe? This question, which has captivated the minds of scientists, philosophers, and dreamers alike, lies at the heart of our exploration of intelligent life beyond Earth. Tonight we will provide an overview of this age-old question, drawing upon the pioneering work of physicist Dr. Frank Drake and his eponymous equation for estimating the number of communicative civilizations in our galaxy.
