NASA is experimenting with a very interesting method to detect the presence of aliens. Assuming that an advanced civilization collects energy from its stars through solar panels, it is trying to detect these massive energy production systems remotely. By using this new method to find traces of alien civilizations, NASA aims to discover whether other life forms exist in the universe.
NASA’s new method for detecting alien life: Solar panels
NASA thinks that huge solar panels used to collect solar energy could reveal traces of an advanced civilization. NASA’s unusual hypothesis could revolutionize efforts to detect the presence of aliens. NASA plans to use its advanced telescopes to detect potential civilizations that may have built large-scale solar energy systems, especially on distant planets.
The method NASA is working on is based on a logic similar to how our planet harvests energy. While solar panels are used on Earth to meet energy needs, it is thought that an advanced civilization living on another planet could use a similar technology. NASA hypothesizes that alien civilizations use these solar panels to harvest energy from their stars.
NASA scientist Ravi Kopparapu, who led the research, says that this kind of energy harvesting could be a natural technological evolution of an advanced civilization. Kopparapu and his team are testing whether a space telescope can detect solar panels covering large areas of a planet’s surface. Such a detection would not only be an indicator of technological sophistication, but could also be a critical step towards confirming the existence of alien life forms.
NASA canceled VIPER, the exploration vehicle that was to be sent to land on the Moon surface next year. So why did NASA cancel the VIPER program?
Do you think this method could be successful in proving the existence of aliens? Share your comments!
