The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is a global scientific effort to detect extraterrestrial signals, or evidence of intelligent life beyond earth.. Researchers use methods such as monitoring electromagnetic radiation, searching for optical signals, and investigating potential extraterrestrial artifacts for any signs of transmission from civilizations present on othe
