Humanity may be alone in the Universe (Synopsis) [Starts With A Bang]

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



“There are two possible outcomes: if the result confirms the hypothesis, then you’ve made a measurement. If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you’ve made a discovery.” -Enrico Fermi

Given the huge number of stars, planets, and chances at life that the galaxy and the Universe has given us, it seems paradoxical that we haven’t yet encountered any form of alien intelligence or even life. The discoveries make in the field of exoplanet studies, particularly by the Kepler mission, make this an even bigger problem than we anticipated: more than 10^22 planets with Earth-like condition are expected to exist in our Universe.

So does this mean that intelligent life beyond Earth is pretty much a certainty, as Adam Frank asserted in the New York Times last week? Hardly; what it means is that we have a long way to go in the sciences of astrobiology, abiogenesis and exo-evolution. There’s so much to learn that drawing conclusions about what’s out there is more than premature: it’s not even science.

      Could be true. On the other hand there was a club in New York whose members each believed they were the only conscious being in the universe and everyone else was a product of their imagination. That could be true too. That is, you could be a figment of my imagination or I could be a figment of yours and the entire universe is something one of us made up. There is absolutely no way to prove it one way or the other.
