New Study Says That Aliens Explored The Milkyway And Earth
(Source)-Our Milky Way galaxy could be filled with alien civilizations, a new study claims, but we don’t know because they haven’t stopped by Earth for a visit in millions of years.
According to a study published last month in The Astronomical Journal, extraterrestrial life might be taking its time to fully explore the galaxy, even using the movement of star systems to make this type of journey easier.
The scientists’ work is the latest response to what’s known as the Fermi paradox, which wonders why we have yet to detect signs of alien life.
Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi famously said something to the effect of, “But where is everybody?” in reference to the possibility of star-hopping space aliens.
The new study claims the aliens may just be taking their time and being strategic.
“If you don’t account for motion of stars when you try to solve this problem, you’re basically left with one of two solutions,” Jonathan Carroll-Nellenback, a computational scientist and the study’s lead author, told Business Insider. “Either nobody leaves their planet, or we are in fact the only technological civilization in the galaxy.”
Stars, along with the planets around them, orbit the center of the Milky Way on unique paths at varying speeds, and they sometimes zip past one another as they do, Business Insider reports.
HUGE day for the Ancient Aliens marathon Friday crowd. Monster. The Aliens were here, but it was just a billion years ago. Space travel is hard because of things like…the Laws of Physics. To think that they’re just buzzing our tower all the time is ridiculous. Can’t happen. But…increase the amount of time that we are looking at to beyond the human timeline and you have my attenion.
These guys are finally making sense. Letting the universe do the heavy lifting. Kind of like when you’re learning how to golf and people say “let the club do the work”. Well it’s a lot easier to get close to far off galaxies if you wait until your galaxy collides with another one.
Cut space time in half by letting the galaxies travel by themselves. Introduce yourself to your neighbors.
Which brings me to my next thought. What if the Aliens landed on Earth like 300 million years ago, got out of their space craft and saw
They landed, got one look at life on Earth and were like “LET’S GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE ” and then THEY sent the asteroid to kill the dinosaurs because they knew the rest of Earth was sweet. Just fucking kill the dinosaurs and then check back on Earth in like another 500 million years to see how things are going. That’s a reasonable explanation. More reasonable than assuming they found a way around the laws of physics. At least in my head.
