In December 2008, Dr Ragbir Bhathal, a scientist at the University of Western Sydney, picked up the odd signal, long before it was announced that the star Gliese 581 has habitable planets in orbit around it.
Dr. Steven Vogt who led the study at the University of California, Santa Cruz, today said that he was '100 per cent sure ' that there was life on the planet. The planet lies in the star's 'Goldilocks zone' - the region in space where conditions are neither too hot or too cold for liquid water to form oceans, lakes and rivers. The planet also appears to have an atmosphere, a gravity like our own and could well be capable of life. Researchers say the findings suggest the universe is teeming with world like our own.
Vogt told Discovery News:
""Personally, given the ubiquity and propensity of life to flourish wherever it can, I would say that the chances for life on this planet are 100 percent. I have almost no doubt about it," Steven Vogt, professor of astronomy and astrophysics at University of California Santa Cruz, told Discovery News. - Earth-like Planet Can Sustain Life
The Mail-Online article continued:
The planet is so far away, spaceships traveling close to the speed of light would take 20 years to make the journey. If a rocket was one day able to travel at a tenth of the speed of light, it would take 200 years to make the journey.
Certain physicists such as David Sereda say these aliens have found ways to travel the speed of light through transformation of frequencies to that of transparency.
