Scientists Believe the Universe is Littered With Billions of Dead Aliens

It is a question that has long loomed over us as humans, and has had scientists scratching their heads for centuries… Are we alone in this universe?

Recently, it seems as though two scientists undertaking research at the University of Washington might have come to a conclusion on the matter after reworking a decades-old equation used to calculate the possibility of life on other planets.

 It turns out, we weren’t looking in the wrong place, just the wrong time.

First Calculationsshutterstock_357969482

The Drake Equation was first created in 1961, by Astrophysicist Frank Drake. It was used to estimate the number of advanced civilizations likely to currently exist within the Milky Way.

The Drake Equation calculated of the rate of formation of stars in the galaxy, the fraction of those stars that have a planetary system, and the fraction of civilizations that develop enough to release detectable signals into space, amongst other factors.

The University of Washington scientists, Adam Frank and Woodruff Sullivan, decided to adapt the Drake Equation, asking “Are we the only technological species that has ever arisen?” rather than “How many civilizations exist right now?” This eliminated a lot of guesswork that Drake’s original equation hinged on.

Crystals are known for their super powers but with the wide variety of crystals, it can be hard to know where to start.

It’s the perfect stone for enhancing memory and brain power. It helps in increasing mental sharpness and boost intuitive abilities.

I call this crystal “My Portable Sun” or “My Sun In A Pocket” crystal because Citrine carries within it the sun energies of warmth, joy, happiness, abundance, strength, and confidence.

This slightly yellowish crystal is connected to your 3rd chakra, also known as the solar plexus chakra.

Your 3rd chakra corresponds to the sun and its solar power so having a Citrine crystal near or on you will ensure that your solar plexus chakra is always energized and ready!

Did you know that  If any of your other chakras are compromised, the solar plexus chakra will substitute with it’s own energy the deficiency in that given chakra?

So, always make sure your solar plexus is fully charged with Citrine.

And if you’re having one of these days where everything seems to be a doom and gloom, then just hold this powerful crystal and let the power of the sun brighten your day!

4 Ancient Cultures That Worshipped the Sun

 Before monotheistic religion took over the world, people worshipped a more tangible entity. They worshipped something that they knew provided life and energy to themselves and everything around them, something that seemed to exude power and authority. That entity was the sun.

Ancient Egyptians:shutterstock_396268228
