Each of us wondered whether we are alone in the universe or not. Looking into the night sky strewn with stars, it is difficult to imagine that there is not a single intelligent civilization among them. People began to think about the likelihood of the presence of extraterrestrial life even before humanity was able to look deep into our galaxy and even consider others
As the "dissemination lecturer" from the once cult film "Carnival Night" said, "whether there is life on Mars, whether there is life on Mars - this is unknown to science." 66 years ago, when Eldar Ryazanov was filming his famous tape, the Synclite of Academicians would not have given any other answer
