[Reflections on the ether].

In the first place, a history of physical aether is propounded, a history of that initially considered hypothetical substance which should fill empty space, and whose properties would vary depending on the scientific phenomenon and the temporal scientific context under consideration. Secondly, in the light of this history and from the present time, several reflections are made about the general problematics of Physics and Philosophy and some of their correlated traditional problems: The problem of space, the problem of empty space, the problem of matter, and, particularly, the problem of aether.

[Current considerations around the search for extraterrestrial life].

In this paper, the current cosmological topics are considered: a) The fourth centenary celebration of Giordano Bruno's death at the Roman's inquisition stake. This eminent philosopher, based on the Coppernican Revolution, concibed the Cosmos as a infinite universe with innumerable inhabited worlds. He acted on reason to believe not only in extraterrestrial life but in extraterrestrial intelligent life. Here we write a few words in his memory and honour. b) The active project SETI@home in the framework of today's classic program "Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence", by means of the reception of radioelectrical signals. c) Search for extrasolar planets.
