Researchers find other universes may host alien life
- 6 years ago
BEYOND SPACE AND TIME — New research simulating the effects of dark energy on star formation speculates that alien life may exist in another universe.
Star formation, according to Durham Cosmology Professor Richard Bower, is the battle between the attraction of gravity and repulsion of dark energy. Our universe is believed to host very little of the substance. Scientists speculate large amounts of the theoretical substance creates dead universes.
Researchers simulated the impact of several hundred times more dark energy and found it had only a modest impact on star and planet formation. The small amount of dark energy in our own universe, according to the researchers, may be due to an undiscovered law of nature.
