A new model estimates odds of intelligent life across universes London, UK (SPX) Nov 13, 2024 A fresh theoretical model developed by astrophysicists at Durham University offers a method to assess the likelihood of intelligent life appearing in our Universe, as well as in possible alternate universes. This concept builds on the legacy of the famous Drake Equation, devised in the 1960s by Dr. Frank Drake to estimate the number of detectable extraterrestrial civilizations within the Milky Way. The recent model diverges by concentrating on how the expansion of the Universe and star formation r ... read more |
