Scientist proposes new theory as to why humans have never been contacted by aliens
Missed connections of the third kind.
Given the ever-🃏growing vastness of the universe, it remains difficult to imagine there has never be🌠en an official recorded account of extraterrestrial life attempting to contact Earth.
The idea that the human race is the only intelligent life in the universe can be frightening — and statistically seems unfathomable — but despite countless efforts to reach other beings, humanity has been left unanswered.
Some of the brightest minds in science have p꧃roposed countless theories why aliens haven’t contacted us, but one research from the Laboratory of Statistical Biophysics at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland theorized why we have been left on read whenever we 𝓰attempt to make contact.
“We’ve only been looking for 60 year❀s,” biophysicist Claudio Grimaldi while discussing his research.
Grimaldi suggests aliens may be trying to make contact as — as we are with them — but given how long we’ve put effort into making contact and our position to possible alien civilizations, patience may be humanity’s ally in the quest for finding other life forms.
“Earth 🤪could simply be in a bubble that just happens to be devoid of radio waves emitted by extraterrestrial life,” the scientist theorized.
Grimaldi’s has analyzed the 60 years of radio silence between humans and possibly other life forms, suggesting that humanity is “using detectors that ar෴e not sensitive enough” to receive messages, and our radio telescopes may not be aimed🥂 in the right direction to receive any messages.
This study is based on a model developed for ๊porous materials like sponges.
“You can imagine the sponge’s solid matter to represent electromagnetic signals radiating spherically from a planet harboring extraterrestrial life into space,” Grimaldi said. “If it is true that we’ve been in a void region for sixty years, our model suggests that there are les🔯s than one to five electromagnetic emissions per century anywhere in our galaxy. This would make them about as rare as supernovas ✃in the Milky Way.”
Electromagnetic signals are a type of energy that travels through space as a fluctuating electric and magnetic field — and can take the forms of radio waves, microwaves, X-rays, visible light, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, and gamma rays.
The scienജtist theorizes that Earth has been positioned in a silent bubble, or “pore,” since we began attempts to contact otherworldly entities.
In the best-case scenario, Grimaldi believes we would have to wait 60 years for these signals to reach our planets, but noted that the time it might take could be around 2000 years — noting Earth’s radio telescopes will still need to become more advanced and be pointed in the right direction.
Despite no official account of humanity being contacted ✨by extraterrestrial life, there has been an uptick in reported unidentified flying objects across the globe in re🎀cent years.
Last month, the Pentagon released footage🍒 taken last year by aꦛ US Military drone in the middle east of a spherical ꦬobject zooming across the sky above an active mili𝓀tary zone.
In March, the Pentagon suggested in ꧂a draft document that aliens could visit our solar sy🍌stem and release smaller probes lik💛e NASA missions when studying other planets.
Most notably, footage released in 2017 of Former US 𒆙Navy pilot Cmdr. David Fravor’s encounter with the “white Tic Tac” UFO in 2004 off the coast of southern California has baffled many — with the Pentagon calling it an “unidentified aerial phenomena” (UAP).
The late physicist and♐ cosmologist Stephen Hawking most notably speculated could face if we make contact with alien life.
“We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn’t want to meet. I 🎉imagine they might exist in massive ships, having used up all the resources from their home planet. Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking t꧃o conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach,” Hawking famously said.
