What Are the Chances of Other “People” in the Universe?

in the universe with other human-like creatures the idea of ​​meeting from a science fiction novel looks like it’s out. However, we have more than enough reasons to think that this possibility is not remote at all.

We are probably not alone in such a vast universe. other species with advanced intelligence and skills We think there is. The question of whether there are others besides us has puzzled humanity for thousands of years.

Some astrobiologists say it’s impossible for human-like creatures to exist in deep space, while others say it’s highly unlikely.

basic laws of the universe Since it will be valid in the entire universe, the same conditions as in the first formation of the Earth occur in other parts of the universe, the formation of similar substances and similar planets from them, and eventually similar living species formation may be possible.

astrobiologist from Cambridge University Simon ConwayMorris He says that it is inevitable that human-like beings exist on other planets in the universe. And this to the convergent theory of evolution basing it. According to the convergent theory of evolution, evolution itself is a law of nature, and this natural law works on different planets just as it does on Earth.

Therefore, the existence of blue and green alien human-like creatures like those in Star Trek is theoretically possible.

According to the convergent evolution theory random effects It stabilizes over time, and over time, similar organisms begin to emerge in very different environments. For example, in birds, bats and insects ability to fly evolved separately and independently of each other.

Like Morris, another Cambridge scientist, Arik Kershenbaum in human-like ways evolved alien believes that life can exist. KershenbaumAccording to him, evolution is the basic mechanism explaining life in the entire universe and WorldThe principles we discovered in ‘ will be valid throughout the universe.

Some astrobiologists argue that the emergence of human-like beings in the universe is very difficult because the conditions necessary for the evolution of life in the universe are rare and complex conditions.

For example to giftedness It is thought that a long process is required for the evolution of a species with a large number of coincidences. So this coincidences It is very unlikely to be repeated on other planets.

The universe is not the only thing that is vast, but the temporal possibilities stretch to infinity.

human-like creatures Even if they existed at any time in the universe, which is expressed in billions of time, the probability of us coinciding and meeting at the same time may be very low. For example, let’s look at Earth. known history of the world 4.5 billion years. The human species starts from its most primitive forms. 200,000 years continues to exist. So we’ve been around for a very short time compared to Earth’s history.

When we consider the much more vast history of the universe, the time period when the human species existed is a place in the ocean. Sand particle until it stays. So when did other species exist in this wide time span, and when? that they were erased from the universe we have to take into account. This makes it incredibly unlikely that we’ll ever meet, even if they did exist.

“Are there others in the universe besides us?” We need more research to answer the question.

else in the universe on planets The question of whether human-like creatures still exist has not yet been scientifically answered. your future technological tools And with his discoveries, all the ideas put forward today may change.
