If there are aliens in nearby star systems, they may have already spotted Earth
Location, location, location. It matters whether you’re looking for a house — or for humans.
Scientists count more than 1,700 star systems with a view of Earth
Scientists say in a new report that 1715 star systems have been in a position to view Earth over the past 5000 years.
According to the report published Wednesday in the journal Nature, the study could provide clues on where to look for extraterrestrial life that could have a view of Earth.
The authors wrote that while there has been much research on the position of stars, previous studies did not take into account how the view from star systems has changed over time.
The Four Stages of Intelligent Matter That Will Bring Us Iron Man’s ‘Endgame’ Nanosuit
Imagine clothing that can warm or cool you, depending on how you’re feeling. Or artificial skin that responds to touch, temperature, and wicks away moisture automatically. Or cyborg hands controlled with DNA motors that can adjust based on signals from the outside world.
Welcome to the era of intelligent matter—an unconventional AI computing idea directly woven into the fabric of synthetic matter. Powered by brain-based computing, these materials can weave the skins of soft robots or form microswarms of drug-delivering nanobots, all while reserving power as they learn and adapt.
Sound like sci-fi? It gets weirder. The crux that’ll guide us towards intelligent matter, said Dr. W.H.P. Pernice at the University of Munster and colleagues, is a distributed “brain” across the material’s “body”— far more alien than the structure of our own minds.
What Happens to Religion When We Find Aliens?
Just supposing there is a God(s) ; are He/ She /It interplanetary or are we likely to experience a similar ruinous manifistation of the discord seen here on Earth as the varoius factions of ‘the Godly’. come together? If so, it may be time to start smelting down the plough-shares again.
