 in faraway distances. Brian Koberlein explains further for Universe Today : "Data is exchanged at the physical level. "Whether through chemical interactions, optical fiber, or electrical circuits, all data takes power to create and maintain. "Currently, this energy is centered on biosphere data, but it could become dominated by technosphere data in the blink of a cosmic eye." Koberlein notes that if this shift is common for advanced civilizations, then humans should be looking for intelligent life through a technological lens, not a biological one. "We therefore might be able to distinguish the worlds of an alien civilization by looking for a distinctly synthetic thermal signature," he adds. But while this trend may be good for helping us locate alien life, Koberlein also discusses the negative impact it will have on Earth. "Humans already have a tremendous influence on Earth's biodiversity and global temperatures," he notes. "If we continue our trend of exponential growth, we could significantly di){kind=link}
EXPERTS have believed that communication on Earth will be mostly technological in 2120 – a trend that could help us detect aliens.
Digital data on our planet is growing at unprecedented rates, a new study has found.
Specifically, studies have found that 328.77million terabytes of data are created each day.
The space where this data usage and growth exists is known as the technosphere.
Earth’s biosphere, however, refers to the spaces on our planet occupied by living organisms.
