A recent paper published by Dr. Duncan H. Forgan of the University of St. Andrews proposes that alien super civilizations in our galaxy could communicate with each other by creating “artificial transits” in their respective stars.

Titled Exoplanet Transits as the Foundation of an Interstellar Communications Network, the paper begins by mentioning two basic problems associated with interstellar communication: time and energy consumption.

When we speak of radio transmissions, for example, the amount of energy required to transmit a coherent message over long distances is prohibitive. On the other hand, optical signals (i.e. lasers) require less energy, however, for the receiver to detect them would require ridiculously precise coordination.

Therefore, no method currently available to man would be reliable to establish an interstellar communication system with another civilization.

Forgan argues that a method where transits in front of stars are used as a basis for intergalactic communication would solve both problems. This is actually something quite logical considering that today transits are the most popular and reliable way astronomers detect distant exoplanets in the universe.

By monitoring a star for periods of diminished brightness, caused by a planet or object passing between the observer and the star, astrophysicists are able to determine if a star hosts a planetary system. The method is also handy for determining the presence or composition of atmospheres around exoplanets.

However, Forgan argues that this method could also be very useful for signaling other alien civilizations.

Professor Forgan argues how An ETI ’A’ can interact with ETI ’B’– if ETI B is observing transiting planets in A’s star system. This can be achieved by either developing structures to create artificial transits observable by B, or by sending out signals at B during transit, at significantly lower energy consumption than typical electromagnetic communication schemes. This can provide a network of interconnected civilizations, establishing contact via observing each other’s transits.

Forgan discusses the Galactic Habitable Zone—a region of the Milky Way where life is most likely to have developed—saying that different alien species may find the best way to communicate with one another by creating massive artificial megastructures that orbit and transit their host star.

An international group of experts has just found what is considered the most intact fossilized 13 million-year-old primate skull discovered to date in Kenya. The new find could help experts shed light on the common evolutionary heritage between apes and humans.

In other words, this 13-million-year-old skull could help experts understand how apes became human.

The remains—the size of a lemon—correspond to a baby, barely a year and four months old, and belong to a newly baptized species that lived 13 million years ago, during the Miocene epoch—the time when apes were beginning to expand their range into Eurasia.

It is believed that during the Miocene period—a period which spanned from 5 million to 25 million years ago—more than 40 different species of hominids existed.

Researchers have dubbed the new species Nyanzapithecus alesi where “alesi” is the Turkana word for Ancestor.

The mystery creature is not related to humans and apes and may have looked similar to what our long lost ancestors looked like.

Experts indicate how the new skull has a very small snout—similar to that of a gibbon—but scans revealed that the being had ear tubes which are closer to chimpanzees and humans.

In order to understand more about the skull, it was submitted to an extremely sensitive form of 3D X-Rays which helped scientists understand more about its age, species, and general characteristics.

“Gibbons are well known for their fast and acrobatic behavior in trees,” said Fred Spoor, Professor of Evolutionary Anatomy at University College London.

“But the inner ears of Alesi show that it would have had a much more careful way of moving around.”

The newly found skull is considered as the most complete extinct ape skull in the fossil record.

Experts believe how humans diverged from apes around six million later, meaning that humans shared a last common ancestor with chimpanzees some 7 million years ago.

Weather experts have issued warnings that the latest category 5 storm, Hurricane Maria, is heading straight for the United States following the devastation it inflicted on the Caribbean when it made landfall in Dominica last night. According to reports from Dominica Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit, Maria tore the roof off every single building in an “avalanche of torn away roofs” and destroyed everything that “money can buy”.A GFS model, that accurately predicts storm paths, shows that Hurricane Maria is due to skirt past Florida and make landfall in North Carolina by Tuesday, September 26.The model’s prediction indicates that the cat 5 hurricane will pass through N Carolina and make its way up the US East Coast, possibly continuing as far as New York…
