Scientists now know that there are billions of planets in the universe where aliens could live. So why haven’t any of these life forms made contact with us? Perhaps they’re too far away, or maybe aliens just don’t want to talk to us. Or there could be an even stranger reason. Here are theories that solve the famous Fermi paradox: If aliens do exist, where are they? We’re looking for aliens in the wrong universe Perhaps we haven’t found aliens because our universe isn’t particularly hospitable to life. Perhaps Earth is an anomaly among dead worlds. One theory suggests that our universe is one of many possible ones and isn’t the best place for intelligent life to emerge. Humans are just lucky to have evolved at all. So if aliens do exist, they should be sought in another, parallel universe where conditions are better. Dark energy separates us and aliens As we now know, the Universe is constantly expanding. Slowly but surely, galaxies are moving away from each other. And all this is happening thanks to dark energy. Scientists believe that over the course of several trillion years, dark energy will stretch the Universe so much that earthlings will be able to see the light of only the closest galaxies. Aliens don’t live on planets A theory has recently emerged that suggests that alien species do not necessarily need a planet to exist. Scientists believe that colonies of aliens could survive by floating freely in space. Such life forms, scientists believe, could exist in thin, transparent, solid shells where the temperature and pressure are maintained at an acceptable level. And we have not found such aliens because this species simply has no means of communication with the outside world. Aliens ‘trapped’ on super-Earths Planets that are 2-10 times larger than Earth are called super-Earths and there are many of them in space. At the same time, some rocky worlds may have suitable conditions for the development of intelligent life. If aliens live on such planets, then, as some scientists believe, we will never see them. It is just that the gravity of such a planet is so strong that space travel becomes impossible. A rocket simply cannot take off into space. Aliens Caused Climate Change and Died Another theory suggests that any highly advanced civilization could eventually consume so much energy that it uses up all the planet’s resources, causing catastrophic climate change. This scenario would inevitably lead to mass extinction. So if aliens exist, they’ve long since disappeared, having likely destroyed themselves long before we started looking for them. The aliens couldn’t evolve fast enough and disappeared There may be a huge number of habitable planets in the Universe, but there is no guarantee that all of them will remain so for a long time, so that life could arise and, most importantly, evolve on them. That is, potential aliens have only a few hundred million years to develop before their planet changes. On any rocky planet, periods of strong cooling and strong heat periodically occur, scientists believe, so aliens may simply not have had time to reach the necessary level of development for space travel and disappeared as a result of another planetary climate catastrophe. So perhaps the expansion of the Universe is preventing us from detecting aliens that are constantly moving away from us and have no way to travel too great distances. We are aliens Another strange explanation for the fact that we haven’t found aliens is that we are them. The panspermia hypothesis states that most of the life we ​​have on Earth today did not originate on our planet, but arrived on asteroids that carried bacteria from other worlds. Some proponents of this theory suggest that humans evolved from creatures that came from other parts of our galaxy. But there is no evidence for this yet. Opponents of this theory say that if bacteria carrying human DNA evolved on another nearby planet, why have we not found traces of humanity anywhere except Earth? But even if this is true, where are all the other aliens, if they exist? The post Weird Theories on Why We Haven’t Found Extraterrestrial Intelligence appeared first on Anomalien.com.
