Physicist Claims Aliens Can Communicate Using Starlight

Published

on

Perhaps the twinkling of the stars is the communication of aliens with each other. At least that’s what one scientist thinks.

Scientist believes that aliens entangle photons from different stars to transmit messages. To casual observers, it appears to be just an occasional flicker.
In a recently published preprint of the study (not yet peer-reviewed), quantum physicist at Imperial College London, Terry Rudolph, argues that aliens can communicate using starlight.
In the article, scientists suggest that aliens could send messages by entangling photons in individual stars, altering the light emitted by one star, interfering with another.
The recipient could then “read” their message by observing the second star with linear optics.
Rudolph believes that this method will be especially attractive to paranoid aliens because of how difficult it is to distinguish it from conventional thermal signatures.
“As a result, when we look at stars and see only thermal radiation, we usually conclude that the universe is empty. But perhaps due to the correlations of this radiation, the universe is actually bathed in alien chatter and other forms of distributed quantum information processing,” the scientist writes.
In conclusion, the physicist notes that humans, as a species, should not be upset because they themselves could not develop an interstellar communication network.
According to the scientist, perhaps, whatever the aliens were, they simply evolved differently in order to use quantum physics in a different way.
So the next time you look at the twinkling stars, you might see a message from aliens.

Earth-like world covered by raging volcanoes found in space

Scientists at the University of California have discovered a planet
that may bear a resemblance to Earth. However, unlike our planet, this
peaceful planet is covered with fierce volcanoes. News of the discovery
was published in the journal Nature.

The new planet was discovered using the Kepler telescope, which
explores outer space in search of exoplanets. According to scientists,
the planet is in the life zone of its star and may have conditions for
the development of life.

However, the presence of volcanoes on the surface of this planet may
mean that it is not suitable for life. This is due to the fact that
volcanoes can emit gases into the atmosphere, which can be poisonous to
living organisms.

On the other hand, scientists believe that the presence of volcanoes
on this planet may mean there is a magnetic field that protects it from
harmful cosmic rays. This may be one of the factors contributing to the
development of life on this planet.

Although the planet is 110 light years away from Earth, scientists
hope that it could be the subject of future research. However, this will
require new telescopes and more accurate measurement methods.

Interestingly, the search for exoplanets is one of the hottest topics
in modern astronomy. Scientists around the world are looking for
planets that may have conditions for the development of life. Some of
these planets are only a few light years away from Earth.

In addition, there is a theory that life on Earth may have originated
through volcanic activity. Volcanoes may have created the conditions
for the formation of the first organic compounds, which then led to the
emergence of life.

Asteroid 1994 XD: Threat to Earth or opportunity for space exploration?

Published

On June 12, 2023, the asteroid 1994 XD, which is over 500 meters in
diameter, will approach Earth. Despite the fact that it will be 3.1
million kilometers away, which is 8 times the average distance to the
Moon, many are asking – can this asteroid become a threat to our planet?

It is worth noting that asteroids, like comets, pose a threat to the
Earth, but the probability of collision with them is very low. In
addition, there are many programs and projects to track space bodies,
which allow you to identify a potential threat in time and take measures
to prevent it.

However, asteroids are also of interest to scientists and space
research. Studying the composition and structure of these bodies can
help scientists better understand the origin of the solar system and the
possibilities for life in space.

For example, asteroids may contain water and other elements necessary
for life, which could be used to build space stations and bases on
other planets. In addition, studying asteroids can help scientists
develop methods to defend against potential threats from space.

The asteroid 1994 XD was discovered in 1994 by the Kitt Peak
Observatory and has not posed a threat to Earth since then. Its close
approach to our planet will be an opportunity to study this cosmic body
in more detail and expand our knowledge of space.
