Prove that humans are not alone in the universe by mathematics

Mathematicians who have just answered the eternal question of mankind are: Are we human beings alone in the universe?

One of the most controversial mysteries of the universe is whether humans are alone or not. In the Milky Way alone, there are hundreds of billions of planets, but why haven't people found genuine evidence of cultural life other than Earth?

Two American mathematicians Adam Frank (University of Rochester) and Woodruff Sullivan (University of Washington) have developed an equation for the probability of survival of other civilizations in the universe.Their equation is based on the Drake equation - written by astronomer astronomer and astronomer Frank Drake in 1961. As a result, they realized that there is little possibility that our species is civilized society. only. There may have been many other civilizations in the universe and then they disappeared.

With the new information obtained by the modern telescope Kepler, calculations by the mathematicians Frank and Sullivan are considered much more accurate than previous calculations.

"Rather than questioning how many civilizations can exist in the universe, we question whether we are the only species that uses technology that has ever appeared?" - Mr. Sullivan said.

He said that focusing on answering this question eliminates uncertainty about the birth of civilizations and allows solving archeological questions about the universe to have an accurate calculation. than.

The two mathematicians calculate that human civilization will be unique in the case of the probability of a civilization on a planet (habitable) is less than 1/10 billion trillions.

"This ratio is extremely small. For me, this implies that other smart species may have evolved before our species , " said mathematician Adam Frank.

So why haven't we found "them" ? Scientists explain that it is quite possible that they are too far away from us and that advanced civilizations can only exist for a very short time.

Humans have appeared about 200,000 years ago and our civilization is only about 6,000 years old. Radio transmission technology was born in less than 200 years. Suppose humans send a message to another planet 100 light years away from us, it will take 200 years for us to get the answer (if any).
