The physics community was elated by the recent announcement that Gravity Waves have been detected – at last, after decades of searching, and fully 100 years after Einstein’s prediction in his famous Theory of General Relativity.

The Russian internet entrepreneur Yuri Milner has announced he will spend at least $100 million over the next decade to search for signals from civilizations beyond Earth.

How will this change the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) which has been underway for the last 55 years? Will SETI, just gear up, or will there be a chance in strategy?
