Aliens use lasers to send signals to Earth

Astronomers have spent decades searching for extraterrestrial life. And now, an expert believes that detecting alien existence will not be as difficult as before.

Earlier this year, a project called Breakthrough Starshot (this US $ 100 million project of Breakthrough Intiatives was announced April 12, 2016 to develop a fleet of solar sail spacecraft). revealed the nanocraft plan (small ships) to Alpha Centauri (a three-star system closest to our Solar system). Nanocraft will be propelled by the ground-based lasers with a capacity of 100 gigawatts.

The strange creatures living in the universe can also use the same technology as humans.

According to Philip Lubin, a professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, who is directly involved in the Breakthrough Starshot project, strange creatures living in the universe can use similar technologies. people and that makes us more convenient in finding their lives.

Along with Starshot, Lubin also discussed the DE-STAR project (Directed Energy System for Targeting of Asteroids and ExplorRation - NASA's 1 meter-sized space probe). These explorers will use lasers to target and deflect objects near Earth. Since then, researchers say other living organisms in the universe can create similar laser systems and they will use them to send signals to Earth.

This conclusion is based on the assumption that another living world has evolved in a similar way to ours. For example, through the use of a direct energy laser system, aliens can harness the power of a star like our sun and convert it into energy to send signals.

Researchers say strange creatures in the universe may have the same technology as us, making them easy to detect.

If aliens are using similar technology, astronomers will discover that near stars or planetary systems will have strange energy rays, through which they will identify life outside Earth.

Previously scientists used the SETI project to conduct search for alien life. This is the most popular project, with several million people in hundreds of countries participating voluntarily, networking with each other, sharing information in the hope of discovering and understanding civilizations. extraterrestrial.
