Why haven’t we heard from aliens? That’s a question that sounds simple but turns into a mess the moment you try to answer it. Recently, a mathematician tried to simplify the equation by trying to calculate the odds that we’re the only intelligent life in the universe – according to his math, we shouldn’t be. Let’s take a look.

Your brain is a simulation machine

I recently read “A Brief History of Intelligence” by Max Bennett — and I highly recommend you check it out — it’s an absolutely brilliant book! I will be having a few conversations with Max but for now here is a taster from our first chat about how our brain works like a simulation machine. You can buy his book from Amazon — https://amzn.to/3weN3uS Watch behind the scenes, get early access and join the private Discord by supporting us on Patreon. We have some amazing content going up there with Kenneth Stanley this week!

Rubin Observatory peers into the ‘hidden universe’ and discovers stream of stars longer than our entire Milky Way

“We are expecting that when Rubin obtains very deep imaging of galaxies, we will see them surrounded by a faint network of stellar streams,” Romanowsky concluded. “The discovery of the stream shows the excellent characteristics of Rubin for making such observations, and points to a rich future of similar discoveries as vast areas of the sky are mapped out.”

The team’s research is available on the paper repository site arXiv.
