As we are digging deeper into space, scientists believe that there are aliens out there and will soon send us signals. Many people also claim that they have seen UFOs, which validate that aliens do exist. However, if there are aliens, ever wondered how they are going to look like? A physicist just described that for us.
Michio Kaku, an American theoretical physicist and futurist said that the new technologies will take us deeper into planets and stars and will also lead us closer in making contact with alien life, he wrote in ‘The Future of Humanity’.
As New York Post reports, Kaku did research regarding what life must be like in distant world and asserted that alien life would have three necessary features. Firstly, the aliens would have stereo vision through which they can compare images and track distance. “In all likelihood, intelligent aliens in space will have descended from predators that hunted for their food. This does not necessarily mean that they will be aggressive, but it does mean that their ancestors long ago might have been predators. We may be well served to be cautious.”

Secondly, aliens would have kind of opposable thumbs or grasping appendages to hunt prey and catch tools. Third, they would also have language. “In order to hand down and accumulate essential information from generation to generation, some form of language is crucial,” wrote Kaku.
Many attempts and investigations have been made in order to discover alien life. The ‘Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute’, with the help of funding from Microsoft’s co-founder Paul Allen, allocated 42 high-power telescopes to listen for alien communication. Dr. Seth Shostak from SETI even said that humans will be able to make contact with aliens by 2035.
Shostak wrote in the science magazine ‘The Nautilus’, “I’ve bet a cup of coffee to any and all that by 2035 we’ll have evidence of ET. I’m optimistic by nature — as a scientist, you have to be . . . I feel that we’re on the cusp of learning something truly revolutionary.”
