The chances of intelligent life emerging in our Universe -- and in any hypothetical ones beyond it -- can be estimated by a new theoretical model which has echoes of the famous Drake Equation. This was the formula that American astronomer Dr Frank Drake came up with in the 1960s to calculate the number of detectable extraterrestrial civilizations in our Milky Way galaxy. More than 60 years on, astrophysicists have produced a different model whic…

A formula for life? New model calculates chances of intelligent beings in our Universe and beyond

A novel theoretical model based on universal expansion and star formation suggests that our universe might not have the optimal conditions for life. Despite the less favorable dark energy density observed, life is still possible, challenging previous cosmological models and changing our perspective on our existential significance. A new theoretical model estimates the likelihood of [...]

Aliens: A New Formula for Extraterrestrial Life in Space

This Hubble Space Telescope image captures a triple-star system, which can host potentially habitable planets. Our nearest stellar neighbor, the Alpha Centauri system, includes 3 stars. A team of astronomers recently estimated the chances for intelligent life in our universe and other possible universes. They did so by looking at how different densities of dark matter affect star formation. Image via NASA/ ESA/ G. Duchene (Universite de Grenoble…

Estimating the odds for intelligent life in the multiverse

A triple star system captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. Credit: NASA, ESA, G. Duchene (Universite de Grenoble I); Image Processing: Gladys Kober (NASA/Catholic University of America) In 1961, US radio astronomer Frank Drake came up with an equation for estimating the number of intelligent civilisations in the galaxy. Called the Drake Equation, the formula combines a variety of different numbers – such as the fraction of stars with planets, …
