There can be the presence of intelligent species in other planets also and some of their civilizations may be more advanced than the human race. Don’t get amazed since this may be a reality, according to the latest revelations of the scientific world. Well, it should also be noted that the presence of life in other planets is no conjecture but a reality to a section of scientists. What are the findings of the recently concluded investigation therefore? As stated by pertinent researchers, aliens could be alive and well on almost 40,000 other planets.
Moreover, the researchers have calculated that equal to 37,964 worlds in the galaxy are hospitable enough and as a result there can be the emergence and evolution of intelligent creatures at least as intelligent as humans.
In this context the name of astrophysicist Duncan Forgan deserves special mention. He was instrumental in the creation of a computer program that succeeded in collecting each and every data on the 330 or so planets known to man and also worked day and night to determine the conditions suitable for life. There was a precise assessment of several factors like temperature and availability of water and minerals, which was then extrapolated all over the Milky Way.
The study also considered three scenarios of how life could develop. The first of them concluded that no less than 361 planets can maintain intelligent life although in these planets it is difficult for life to form but easy for it to evolve. In the second scenario there are 31,513 planets and in these planets life is easily formed but struggles to develop more. There is the presence of 38,000 planets in the third scenario and in this context life can be passed from planet to planet with the help of asteroids.
What shall be the nature of life in these planets? They will certainly not be in the form of amoeba but quite advanced. It may be that they appear to be more advanced than human beings! There is no wonder in it. According to Duncan Forgan, 'Most of the other planets we have looked at are older than our own - so I would expect to see more advanced civilisations than ours existing.'
