We are obsessed with finding aliens. Astronomersastrophysicists, scientists who are dedicated to the exploration of the cosmos and many space enthusiasts long to experience the arrival of an advanced civilization, which comes from another world in the Universe. However, a study by expert researchers tells us that this is likely to go wrong.
The study makes a calculation in which they determine the chances that we will encounter a civilization that, yes, may be very advanced, but it could be evil, exterminate us and take over our planet. True, it sounds like a science fiction movie, but it is actually possible that this will happen, according to the estimates of the scientists.
The first to raise this situation was Stephen Hawking. The theoretical physicist always raised alerts about the probabilities that our race would encounter hostile extraterrestrials. A Spanish scientist, called Alberto Caballero, PhD student at the University of Vigo in Spaintakes these statements from Hawking, and performs the calculation to find alarming data.
evil civilizations
Firstly, according to their figures, there are 15,785 civilizations in the Milky Way. He says that of all these, only four could be evil. Note that he counts humanity as possibly villainous among these four.
Caballero specifically says that “the probability of an alien invasion by a civilization whose planet we message is about two orders of magnitude lower than the probability of a planet-killing asteroid collision,” that is, a one in 100 million year event.
Likewise, Caballero explains that his research may not be entirely correct, since it has certain limitations in its calculations. The first thing is that he made assumptions based on the internal behavior of our world.
He reviewed the invasions that have been recorded between nations in the last 50 years. With this analysis he noticed that as our civilization advances, this phenomenon is much less frequent than before.
Therefore, in the event that there is a civilization of evil aliens, they are most likely primitive.
“I made the article based only on life as we know it. An extraterrestrial civilization may have a brain with a different chemical composition and may not have our empathy or may have more psychopathological behaviors. I found this way of doing the study, which has limitations, because we do not know the mind of what the extraterrestrials would be like,” concluded Alberto Caballero.
