Uncovering Clues to Extraterrestrial Life Through Silence
Have you ever wondered if there is life beyond Earth? A new study from a team of astronomers suggest that the silence from outer space could be telling us something about the possibility of extraterrestrial life. The study found that if Earth-like exoplanets have been emitting detectable signals for a long time, then the silence in outer space is likely due to the lack of technological civilizations. The researchers suggest that this could mean that either complex life is rare in the universe, or that civilizations tend to self-destruct before they can make their presence known.
