Ufologists and alien-hunters can watch the Royal Society's lecture
The eerie silence: are we alone in the universe? live online tonight.
The webcast, streamed live on the official Royal Society site, is part of the Detection of Extra-terrestrial Life and the Consequences for Science and Society conference, happening this week.
Just click the link below at 6.30 British time to watch the talk, given by Professor Paul Davies from Arizona University.
The British-born Davies is a very clever bloke indeed, having helped create the theory of quantum fields in curved spacetime.
He's also had a comet named after him and wrote the 2007 book The Goldilocks Enigma - which I read last year and found totally gripping (it has nothing to do with bears or porridge, by the way).
If the talk inspires you to start looking for little green men, or even large purple women, read how you can participate in the SETI project using distributed computing.
