Will we find aliens after 1500 years?

A very unhappy news for believers who believe in aliens.

The search for aliens has never stopped urging scientists for decades.

However, a recent study has concluded that may discourage even the most persistent people: we can take up to 1500 years to find extraterrestrial life.

Aliens may appear after . 1,500 years from now.

That is the conclusion of astronomers at Cornell University (USA). They build a math model or test a very famous concept: Fermi paradox.

This paradox was put forward by Enrico Fermi, an Italian physicist, who said that if there were billions of planets in the universe, it would be absurd that until now, no planet existed next Our earth.

So obviously, aliens must also find us. And experts have tested this, by calculating the distance we have touched in the universe by radio waves - the most feasible alien search device available today. As a result, it turns out that we have not gone through 1% of the Milky Way, or more specifically, only 80 years of light.

Current radio search devices penetrate about 80 light-years in the universe.

This means that mankind has passed through 8,531 stars, with 3,555 planets the size of the Earth. But this number is too small to hope to find signals from aliens.

And if aliens also use the same method, the ability of two sides to encounter each other will only happen after . 1,500 years.

According to Evan Solomonides, an astronomer at Cornell, and a partner of research director Yervant Terzian, we are more likely to receive signals from aliens after reaching about half of the planets. and stars are in the Milky Way. It is known that our Milky Way alone has 200 billion stars, stretching over 100,000 light-years. From Earth, we are about 26,000 light-years from the center of the galaxy.

1500 years from now, we will have the opportunity to meet aliens.

It sounds hopeless, but Solomonides thinks people should not stop looking. Because in fact, this number is only a hypothesis. "Aliens may appear at any time, and if unfortunately they appear that we gave up, the signal may be missed" - Salomonides shared.
