Is Earth the only technologically-intensive civilization in Universe?

[thesolar65]

Washington: A new study has revealed that the combination of earth-based science of sustainability and the space-oriented field of astrobiology can shed light on the future of technological civilization on Earth and is the planet first and only technologically-intensive culture in Universe.


Human-caused climate change, ocean acidification and species extinctions may eventually threaten the collapse of civilization, according to some scientists, while other people argue that for political or economic reasons industrial development should be allowed without restrictions.

In the paper, two astrophysicists argue that these questions may soon be resolvable scientifically, thanks to new data about the Earth and about other planets in our galaxy, and by combining the earth-based science of sustainability with the space-oriented field of astrobiology .

Astrophysicists Adam Frank and Woodruff Sullivan call for creation of a new research program to answer questions about humanity's future in the broadest astronomical context.

The authors explained that the point would be to see that Earth's current situation might, in some sense, be natural or at least a natural and generic consequence of certain evolutionary pathways.

The researchers also showed that how habitability studies of exoplanets hold important lessons for sustaining the civilization we have developed on Earth.

According to the results, studying past extinction events and using theoretical tools to model the future evolutionary trajectory of humankind and of still unknown but plausible alien civilizations could inform decisions that would lead to a sustainable future.

The study is published in the journal Anthropocene.

And does this mean @Skull and Bones is the only intelligent human on earth?

Humans aren't the only species with technology. Denisovans are also developing.

Considering the sheer enormity of the known Universe, it's surely possible that other lifeforms exist out there, and it is also likely that those lifeforms are most probably primitive ocean-based organisms.

So there is a chance that we are the only "technologically intensive" civilization in the Universe, though I wouldn't count on it. It could really go either way.

Like Stephen Hawking said, there is a good chance that IF aliens are advanced enough to come to Earth on their own, then the most likely result is that humans will be like the Native Americans, and those advanced aliens will be like the European colonists.

I.e. Disaster for us.

And does this mean @Skull and Bones is the only intelligent human on earth?

Yes.

there are billion galaxies and billion billion starts and billions of planets....i am sure there would be more advanced civilization in our universe, but i am sure we are the only intelligent civilization in this vicinity where we live. .

The human ego never permitted us to believe that our universe wasnt geocentric,,,same way its the human ego whic doesnt permit us to even imagine that there could be life beyond earth...perhaps more superior to us.
And the technological development of human beings has come at a cost....

BIG FAT NOOOHHH!!
Haddi bhai is not the only intelligent human but may be the only intelligent humanoid.(His lack of emotions makes me believe that hes a humanoid )

Kneel before the superior kind, lesser mortal.

That's the next logical step of human evolution.

That's the next logical step of human evolution.

Nope....then we would be as good as animals.
Humans exhibit more complex emotions...we have a higher EQ (emotional quotient) too.

 

[RKO]

so...there is no alien invasion coming???

You watch too many sci-fiction movies..lolzz

No, animals express more complex emotional traits than humans.

 

[Levina]

No, animals express more complex emotional traits than humans.

would you call it complex??
I hope you do know that High EQ would mean lower IQ.

 

[RKO]

You watch too many sci-fiction movies..lolzz

also...its fun to have a alien In your garage!!

Well, the universe is huge and vast but let's not forget the fact that there's a 4th dimension to think of : Time. Maybe there is some life out there but they're too busy riding mammoths and living in caves. The chances of another civilization existing close to us both in time and space are pretty low.

Complex because we are yet to understand it completely, because of the lack of study in this field. And you do confirm that with increasing IQ, there will be less and less emotional hold backs, hence evolution.
