In search of signs of extraterrestrial life

A study with the title on Galactic Sails was published on May 21, but it is beginning to be known as the galactic dump theory, there are many scientists who are looking for life outside the earth there is a whole scientific branch called eso-biology and finding life It is one of the fundamental objectives of most space missions.

Abraham Loeb develops in the study published a few days ago an approach that imagines space as an immense ocean where, over billions of years, various civilizations have ended up dumping the remains of their ships or their space structures, it is not so strange to imagine something similar, humans have sent ships to explore other planets and beyond such as Voyager I and II, but we are also launching rocket debris, drifting ships into space and we are filling Earth's orbit with garbage that Currently they are already a problem for satellite navigation and all that in just 65 years, but that is another matter.

These solar sails use the light pressure of the photons to obtain momentum, they do not accelerate very quickly, but little by little they reach an enormous speed, they also have advantages such as that they do not need an engine or carry fuel, since they can use the light of any star .

Abraham Loeb then wonders what happens to the remains of the solar sails and here the interesting part begins because unlike other remains that are solid objects, for example the rest of a rocket, it would move just like a typical asteroid, a solar vega no matter how Whatever broken it is, the thrust of light continues to act on it and therefore it acts in a peculiar way, different from what a piece of metal would do, the remains of a rocket or a ship.
