A scientist has claimed that humans will be able to find aliens within the next 25 years.
According to LiveScience, SETI's Seth Shostak says that by 2040, astronomers would have scanned enough of the space so as to detect alien-produced electromagnetic signals.
Sostak made the comments during a Feb. 6 discussion at the 2014 NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts symposium at Stanford University.
He said that instead of looking at a few thousand star systems, which is the tally so far, they would have looked at maybe a million star systems by 2040.
