Scientists: almost 100 nearby galaxies do not have highly developed civilizations – REGNUM

Amsterdam, 22 September 2015, 10:49 – REGNUM Scientists from the Netherlands are trying to find one of the possible extraterrestrial activity traces of highly Civilizations. The researchers studied 93 galaxies, and yet nothing is found, however, scientists are going to continue our search. This is stated in the publication of the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy (ASTRON).

The experts are trying to find an extremely advanced civilizations that could be ranked on Kardashev scale to the third type. Since such civilization consumes about as much energy as the galaxy itself. For example, scientists believe that if such a civilization consumes significant amounts of energy, its emissions (or radiation, for which the experts and studied the galaxy) must detect even used devices currently on Earth. Note that Kardashev scale, for example, the Earth is not quite live up to the first type, that is, mankind has not harness the energy of the planet.

According to the director of Science ASTRON Michael Garrett , studies at Pennsylvania State University, showed that such systems are very rare, but the new information obtained suggests that “it might , belittling, and that the developed civilization of the third type of Nikolai Kardashev do not exist in our part of the universe ».

Trying to find the excess radiation, the researchers tried to rule out all other possible radiation, for example, from the stars, and have tried to consider the nebula. Next, the researchers used to work and the information obtained from the infrared space telescope NASA. Thus, from a huge number of galaxies we have chosen the most promising, that is, those whose heat radiation and radiation in mid-infrared active. However, all this did not help to find a highly developed civilization.

Note that Garrett explained that an alien invasion is unlikely.

Despite the unsuccessful attempts to discover life on 93 galaxies, the researchers hope their technique will help find a civilization that managed to subdue the energy comparable with the power of the stars of the planetary system, that is, the civilization of the second type. According to scientists, this will be devoted to their next job.

Help IA REGNUM:

Kardashev scale was proposed in 1964 by the Soviet radio astronomer Nikolai Nikolai Kardashev in the “information transfer of extraterrestrial civilizations».

Kardashev scale is a method for studying the process of development of civilizations. The method is based on the teachings of the amount of energy used by civilization for their needs.

The scale comprises three categories. According to the type I civilization uses all available resources on the planet live. Type II civilization harnesses the full power of its star. Civilization III is subject to its energy needs throughout their galaxy. Thus, the scale used by scientists to find other civilizations in the galaxy.
