Scottish physicist Duncan Forgan from St Andrews University presented their arguments in favor of the fact that in the milky Way a few advanced civilizations conspired to form many galactic click the entrance to where the Earth is currently closed. On this study published on the website arXiv.org.
Calculations carried out by the Forgan showed that clicks are not related to each other and spaced from each other over huge distances. To get into the community of potential members is sufficient to evolve for 250 thousand years. Because the history of the human species has about 200 thousand years, the development of the inhabitants of the Earth is insufficient for communication with other civilizations.
In order to in the milky Way there was a single galactic group, the history of its constituent civilizations must number several millions of years. In this case, the level of development of earthlings to ensure that they knew about the other worlds, turns out to be also insignificant.
The research scientist is motivated by a desire to confirm one of the possible solutions to the Fermi paradox, which is that the Terrans would have to watch aliens, if the latter existed. One of the solutions to the paradox, namely the existence of a galactic conspiracy advanced civilizations, proposed by Australian scientist Ronald Braswell. Similar ideas were held by the Soviet scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky.
