Anyone who wants to meet aliens will be sad to know this
New evidence has been discovered about the Earth that could make people who wish to meet aliens feel sad.
Research shows that Earth is the only place in the universe that has life
The results of the new study may result in those who desire to see aliens feel disappointed when pointing out, our Earth may be one of the first life-sustaining planets in the universe. cylinder.
Specifically, scientists from the Space Astronomical Science Institute in Baltimore (Maryland, USA) believe that when the solar system was formed 4.6 billion years ago, only about 8% of the planets in the universe have potential. life sustaining ability.
Our Earth is one of the first "habitable" planets in the universe.
In addition, most planets have not even appeared until our Sun formed six billion years ago.
To reach this conclusion, researchers from the Space Astronomical Science Institute in Baltimore (Maryland, USA) have based the data from Hubble and Kepler."When compared to other planets in the universe, our Earth actually formed quite early, " said Dr. Peter Behroozi, who led the study .
According to previous observations, in the period of 10 billion years ago, stars were formed quickly. However, this process is fast because the components that make them are only hydrogen and helium gas in the universe.
Nowadays, stars form at a much slower rate because the "materials" in the universe have become richer.
Data from the Kepler Observatory show that "habitable" planets - a planet orbiting its star just enough to maintain liquid water - are actually quite common in the Milky Way.
Specifically, experts predict up to one billion Earth-like planets and this number will increase greatly when there are 100 billion different galaxies in the universe.
Estimates, the last stars will not disappear within at least 100 trillion years, so we will not be able to accurately predict the number of Earth-like planets formed in the universe. future.
Experts judged that one of the advantages of "early emergence" is that we are capable of creating great telescopes like Hubble, allowing traces of the origin of the universe .
However, some opinions suggest that the Earth is one of the "elder" in the universe will make the ability to appear aliens decrease.
The reason is because the speed of scientific and technical development of humanity is considered not slow, but it is still not enough to find ways to move in the universe quickly.
Most likely we are the ones who bring the alien civilization.
Therefore, do not rule out the possibility that aliens will have similar growth rates, even slower than us . Therefore, if there are really aliens, then perhaps we will have to spend many more years to meet each other.
The study is published in the Monthly Report of the Royal Astronomical Society (UK).
