Advanced aliens could soon detect life on Earth, say scientists

Posted by in category: alien life

Aliens on nearby stars could detect Earth through radio signals leaked from the planet, new research suggests.

Scientists from The University of Manchester and the University of Mauritius used crowd sourced data to simulate radio leakage from mobile towers to determine what might detect from various , including Barnard’s star, six light years away from Earth.

The research, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society journal, found that only more technologically advanced civilizations would be able to detect the current levels of mobile tower radio leakage from Earth. However, as most alien civilizations are likely to have more sensitive receiving systems and as we move towards more powerful broadband systems on Earth, the detectability of humans from other intelligent beings will become more and more likely.

A powerful radio telescope is now aiding the search for the existence of alien life

Posted by in category: alien life

Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array telescope’s data will now help scientists hunt for technosignatures.

The hunt for alien life will get a shot in the arm with one of the world’s most powerful radio telescope arrays joining the mission, situated about 50 miles west of Socorro, New Mexico.

The National Science Foundation’s Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) will now help gather the information that enables researchers to analyze emissions that only artificial transmitters make, which signals the existence of an advanced civilization far beyond.

‘Goldilocks zone’ may not be a good metric for whether life exists on exoplanets, say astrobiologists

Posted by in categories: alien life, evolution

Most exoplanets lying in the habitable zones around stars are in fact inhospitable to plant life as we know it. That is according to a new study from microbiologists and astronomers at the University of Georgia who say that taking into account the light a planet receives as well as its ability to hold liquid water is a better definition of whether life could exist on other planets.

The Habitable Zone (HZ) is traditionally defined to be the range of distances around a star where an exoplanet can support liquid water on its surface. Too far, and the planet remains frozen like Mars. Too close and the oceans evaporate, as happened to Venus. The zone in the middle is neither too hot, nor too cold, but just right – the so-called “Goldilocks zone”.

Nothing certain is known about the properties and requirements of alien life. However, there are generally two schools of thought in astrobiology. One is that evolution on other planets can figure out ways to sidestep seemingly insurmountable barriers to life as we know it, while others claim that life is everywhere bounded by the same universal physical principles, and can thus only operate a certain way, similar to as on Earth.

The Multiverse: Our Universe Is Suspiciously Unlikely to Exist—Unless It Is One of Many

Posted by in categories: alien life, information science, particle physics

But we expect that it’s in that first tiny fraction of a second that the key features of our universe were imprinted.

The conditions of the universe can be described through its “fundamental constants”—fixed quantities in nature, such as the gravitational constant (called G) or the speed of light (called C). There are about 30 of these representing the sizes and strengths of parameters such as particle masses, forces, or the universe’s expansion. But our theories don’t explain what values these constants should have. Instead, we have to measure them and plug their values into our equations to accurately describe nature.

Extraterrestrial Water: Hidden Oceans in Our Solar System

Posted by in category: alien life

While the scientific debate about the origin of water on our planet remains open, the truth is that relative to its size, Earth is more like a desert compared to other celestial bodies in our cosmic neighbourhood. Estimates vary, but there could be as much as 50 times more liquid water in the solar system than is found on Earth—an astonishing revelation that would have sounded absurd just a few decades ago. And scientists are eager to send spacecraft to this extraterrestrial water in the hope of discovering conditions suitable for life.

Apart from Earth, the inner solar system—containing the four planets closest to the Sun—is largely devoid of liquid water. On Mercury and Venus liquid water simply boils away, while on Mars any liquid water would quickly freeze or evaporate due to the low atmospheric pressure and temperature. Although there is some intriguing evidence that liquid water may exist beneath the Martian southern polar ice cap, the amounts would be very small compared to those found on Earth.

Paradoxically, to find to find an unexpected abundance of liquid water, we must venture into the frigid depths of the outer solar system, far from the warmth of the Sun. There, deep beneath the frozen surfaces of moons orbiting the gas giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, scientists have found strong evidence of vast oceans. But how can water remain liquid in such an extremely cold environment, where the Sun is only a faint glow in the sky and the warmest surface temperatures are always well below zero?
