England – Astronomy professor Frederick Walter came up with a new explanation about the lack of contact between the civilizations of the universe and the civilizations of Earth due to physical accidents that occurred on the planets of those civilizations in the galaxy.
Scientist Walter said in an interview with the Daily Mail that speculation about the existence of alien life forms outside our planet dates back to the era of ancient Greece and Rome, “yet humans have not witnessed any contact with them yet.”
He naturally pointed to various theories, including the hypothesis that intelligence at the human level is completely “unique” of its kind in this universe.
Walter believes that there is a more likely scenario, which is the destruction of alien civilizations due to stellar explosions that left strong emissions of “gamma rays” or what is known by the scientific term GRBs.
He stated that GRBs are considered very active explosions and have been observed in distant galaxies, indicating that they occur when the nucleus of a giant star runs out of nuclear fuel and collapses under its own weight, unleashing huge “supernova” radiation.
“It is a tightly focused beam that, if directed at the galactic level, can essentially filter out any life form on 10% of the galaxy’s planets,” the astronomy professor noted.
He added: “This is just one explanation out of many possible explanations, and I think it is a kind of satisfactory explanation.”
In the same context, Walter stated that there is a gamma ray explosion every 100 million years, in any galaxy, and concluded: “Over a billion years, on average, we may expect the elimination of a large number of civilizations, if they exist.”
