Most likely we have caught signals from aliens

Recently, a team of astronomers claimed that they had noticed some strange signals in the universe.

Recently, a team of astronomers claimed that they had noticed some strange signals in the universe. These are light waves that look "exactly like" what an alien civilization can emit.

Specifically, this is the expert group led by Professor Ermanno Borra from Laval University (Quebec, Canada). Use the Sloan Digital Sky Survey observatory with a lens diameter of up to 2.5m, Borra observed and combined more than 2.5 million data from distant planets.

The study is based on the idea that if aliens transmit signals by sending laser beams into space, the light waves can be observed and the light from the planet star revolves around.

The team used a mathematical tool to screen all of these 2.5 million data. Finally, they concluded: "The signals cannot be due to a system error, because they only appear in a very small part of the star, and have an extremely narrow spectrum of spectra - coinciding with the theory of signals. of aliens ".

Did we receive signals from aliens?

"We are considering many possibilities, such as the transfer of molecules, or even aliens," Borra said.

Finally, they concluded that 234 cases are likely to be signals from aliens.

However, other expert groups disagree with this conclusion, including the experts in the " Breakthrough Listen" project - the largest alien tracing project ever made by the power trio and The most intellectual of the planet: Stephen Hawking, Mark Zuckerberg, and billionaire Yuri Milner initiated. They said that this is still likely to be an analytical error.

"It is still too early to conclude that these signals are from aliens. Internationally, the publication of evidence of extraterrestrial life requires the approval of an independent, used third party. their telescopes, and must eliminate all other explanatory options " - project experts said.

Anyway, the experts of "Breakthrough Listen" decided to use their technology to follow these strange signals.

Not knowing whether to be happy or sad, but this may be a big step for science anyway.
