根据黑洞研究,高等生命在数十亿年前达到峰值

Advanced life peaked billions of years ago according to black holes

David Garofalo

AI总结:

该研究基于黑洞与恒星形成的关联,结合黑洞间隙范式发现,致密星团环境比孤立椭圆星系更不利于地外智慧生命出现,后者的生命出现概率在60亿年前达峰,后期则向黑洞反馈弱的旋涡星系转移。

摘要:

黑洞与恒星形成之间的关联,让我们得以在黑洞与地外智慧生命(ETIs)更有可能出现的地点和时间之间建立联系。在黑洞的间隙范式(gap paradigm)框架下,我们的研究表明,与孤立椭圆星系相比,导致富气体并合和大量恒星形成的更致密星团环境,其平均而言与ETIs出现的兼容性要低近两个数量级。在这些孤立环境中,ETIs出现的概率在约60亿年前达到峰值,而宇宙降标(cosmic downsizing)作用使得后期ETIs出现的可能性转移到黑洞反馈较弱的星系,例如旋涡星系。

英文摘要:

The link between black holes and star formation allows us to draw a connection between black holes and the places and times extraterrestrial intelligences (ETIs) had a greater chance of emerging. Within the context of the gap paradigm for black holes, we show that denser cluster environments that led to gas rich mergers and copious star formation were places less compatible on average with the emergence of ETIs compared to isolated elliptical galaxies by almost two orders of magnitude. The probability for ETIs peaked in these isolated environments around 6 billion years ago and cosmic downsizing shifted the likelihood of ETIs emerging to galaxies with weak black hole feedback, such as in spiral galaxies, at late times.
