It is likely that any aliens in our galaxy annihilated themselves, victims of too much progress, according to a new scientific study.
Researchers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the California Institute of Technology have assumed that since past studies show that the technological advances of a civilization “will inevitably lead to complete destruction and biological degeneration,” any intelligent life Previously in the Milky Way has probably already been killed.
“[I]If the smart life is likely to be destroyed, it is not surprising that there is little or no smart life anywhere else, ”the researchers said in a paper published online earlier this month.
Scientists also theorized that humans arrive late to the party, so that maximum conditions are likely to occur for life to develop about 8 billion years after the galaxy’s formation, and we emerged about 13.5 billion years later. that the Milky Way occurred, according to the Live Science website.
