HUMANS may never come into contact with alien civilizations as a result of our own actions, a scientist has warned, even if the universe is packed to the brim with extraterrestrial life.
Alien life in all shapes and size exists somewhere out there in the depths of space, at least according to the Fermi Paradox. The theoretical principal stipulates life has to exist in a universe full of infinite stars and planets, most of which are older than our Earth and solar system. Proposed in the 1970s and named after the physicist Enrico Fermi, the paradox estimates the probability intelligent alien civilisations exist even if we have never seen proof. However, even if evidence of alien life exists somewhere out there in space, odds are humans will destroy it before we even realize.
The unfortunate theory was proposed by theoretical physicist Alexander Berezin from the National Research University of Electronic Technology in Russia.
In a bid to explain the Fermi Paradox or why aliens have not visited the Earth yet, the scientist proposed some hard truths about where he thinks humanity is headed.
According to the scientist’s “First in, last out” proposal, pre-published on arXiv.org, scientists have trivialised the meaning of alien life.
In his opinion, alien life does not have to be a mirror-image of the human-like lifeforms we have grown accustomed to.
He wrote: “The cornerstone of the problem is our model of life in the general case.
“Many proposed solutions take the narrowest definition of Earth-like life and still struggle to come up with any sufficient explanation as to why no life has arisen on any other Earth-like planet, the existence of which seems no longer debated.
“However, such a narrow definition is clearly wrong. Even those organisms descending from one common ancestor with ourselves have proven time and time again that we drastically underestimate to what conditions life is able to adapt.
“And there is no possible way of accounting for all lifeforms that may rise independently throughout the universe.
