If you were a representative of an alien race, would you consider it appropriate to start contact with people? Can humanity cope with alien contact?
According to scientists, aliens deliberately wait for the right moment before they reveal themselves to earthlings.
In a recent study published in the Astronomical Journal, scientists attempted to shed new light on the Fermi paradox and the Aurora effect by examining the existence of alien civilizations on other planets.
Scientists began by looking at the speed of the advancing settlement front to determine if the Galaxy could be populated by space civilizations in less than its age.
These included the directional colonization of nearby sedentary systems by launching probes with finite speed and range. In addition to this, the researchers also examined the effect of stellar motions on the long-term behavior of the front of the settlement, which adds a diffusional component to its advance.
The Fermi paradox, presented by physicist Enrico Fermi - the concept of the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence, has intrigued all researchers looking for alien life. According to the Fermi paradox, due to the number of planets and stars in the galaxy, there must be another world teeming with intelligent extraterrestrial life. If this is true, then the Earth should have already been visited by aliens.
However, since humans have not yet come across evidence of intelligent extraterrestrial life, many question the existence of alien civilizations.
