SETI (pronounced {{IPA|}}, to rhyme with "Betty") stands for Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence.

Criticism of SETI

SETI has occasionally been the target of criticism by those who suggest that it is a form of pseudoscience. In particular, critics allege that no observed phenomena suggest the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence, and furthermore that the assertion of the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence has no good Popperian criteria for falsifiability http://www.theness.com/articles/seti-nejs0101.html. In response, SETI advocates say that the existence of intelligent life on Earth is a plausible reason to expect it elsewhere, and that individual SETI projects have clearly defined "stop" conditions.
