Scientist says earthlings are alone in galaxy
Humans thought result of rare chain
loj
United Press International
Those who dream of mankind
breaking through the barriers to
make contact with other intelligent
life in the far reaches of the galaxy
probably will be disappointed, says
American space scientist and best
selling author Dr. T.A. Hep-
penheimer.
“Star Wars” and “Close
Encounters of the Third Kind” not
withstanding, says Heppenheimer,
earthlings probably are alone in the
universe.
Heppenheimer, author of the
best-selling “Colonies in Space,”
“Stackpole, 1977,” and more than 40
heavyweight technical papers on
subjects ranging from celestial
mechanics to moon mining, bases his
opinion on analysis of information
now available.
“If other intelligent life does exist
in the galaxy, then it should be com
mon and widespread,” Hep
penheimer said in an interview. “It
should manifest itself as an as-
trophysical phenomenon. It should
be something that we should detect
in our observations, perhaps some
thing that we cannot avoid detecting.
“And we don’t find it. We set out
deliberately to search for it, and it is
not there to be found.”
Heppenheimer won his Ph.D in
aerospace engineering at the Uni
versity of Michigan. Since then, he
has worked on the faculty of the
California Institute ofTechnology, in
various space-related industries and
with Dr. Gerard O’Neill on prob
lems of space colonization.
At 31, Heppenheimer is a fellow
with the Max Planck Institute for

Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg,
spending most of his time in com
puter analysis and research for his
second book, with the working title
of “The Space Colonists.”
Heppenheimer says man will and
should colonize deep space, but that
he will find empty worlds when he
gets there.
Humans who evolved on earth are
the result of a 4.6 billion-year chain
of unusual, rare and probably unique
astrophysical and biological events,
Heppenheimer said.

deuce to believe that the Formati: Cow]
of our solar system was triggered! pony t<
an extremely rare and unusualevti ( ut in
— the explosion of a super not ireeeht
which just hapened fortuitously: '. In th
explode in the near-vicinity of ^strati
cloud of gas and dust and thereby! jnd pei
trigger the compression of that.cl«is far
which formed the sun andthen |J1ooves
our planets,” Heppenheimert
plained.
Heppenheimer then listed i
the things that could have
wrong.
If Jupiter had been muchlargeil
had had a more erratic orbit, eaiiTexas J
orbit woidd have altered andf; Anot
olanet itself become stunted t emo tio
dwarfed, like Mars. s^,-^
If the earth had been formei | I(l p”
percent further away from the si iees
then there is reason to believe tin ^)j c h 1
would have been completely fro: The
over, a glaciated world,” he st^ost
“Five percent closer, and theet L” is
woidd have an atmosphere of stf: fction
because the oceans would h il) U stri
boiled.” , Ltn
As the earth evolved, “averyi di na |
cate balance had to be maintained ! 0U p t
balance which if upset could h p a jnt
created an earth covered in glac: ty ) tl
or one much like Venus. l er jnj
“Life had to exist for billions °^ e J
years before it could invent sexj rou 8*
fore it could Ixicome multicelluk' :min f
Heppenheimer said. “Andallofi P er >
time, the earth had to mainti I° r ' c;
steady, pleasant conditions." e P 311
The chance that all of these i P em '
tuitous events” have occurred * s ' Vf -
other planets in the galaxy is:
tremely unlikely, Heppenheii
believes. s [
“But there’s more, hecontim E
“Nature has not given evolution

All of these obstacles were on 1

were not on the others. ur * ^
Many scientists calculate 1 k e av
galaxy contains up to one rail des i
planets that could sustain intelte w
life. derg;
Heppenheimer reduces tliis xon s
about 10 possibles, but onlyi p e '
probable — the earth. P e ^ a

Unidentified flying objects do hou
constitute proof of other intellij )es .
life in the galaxy, Heppenheii vyhi],
said. lvers
“It is illogical to assume auto® | e j n
cally that UFOs are the workofiii ,y e( j
ligent beings from other planets, ; y t r
said. “There has been evidencf ^der
UFOs, but that doesn’t constit,
proof.”
But people want to believe!
UFOs for the same reasons theyl
lieve in religion, Heppenheira
said, out of a need for a kindofhil
companionship in the vastness
space.
“I see very little mtellectualdl
ference between the idea of a
who lives up on a mountain i
God who lives up on anotherwe
he said.
“It addresses a very deep hffli
need. And in every society, tki’I
have been religions and legfi
about gods, but that doesn’tnt I
that there is this widespread k® I
need.” * H £
For that reason, man willconft
to search, he believes. He ant*
pates that, as a first step, thousa#
of people will live and work onb
earth-orbiting structures product
