CLAT Logical Reasoning: Earth and Outer Space

Given the age of the universe and the apparent high probability of life evolving on other planets orbiting other stars, where are all the aliens? A 2015 study based on data from the Hubble Space Telescope and Kepler Space Telescope might offer an answer: Earth was an early bloomer. The study, focused on the likelihood of the evolution of habitable worlds, finds that when our planet was born from our young sun's protoplanetary disk some 4.6 billion years ago, it was born into an era when only " 8 percent of the potentially habitable planets that will ever form in the universe existed." Most of the material available to form habitable planets is still around — giving lots of time for alien civilizations to form and get in touch with us.

With regard to aliens, it is the author’s assumption that:

  1. They are likely to evolve to be similar to humans
  2. They will be able to travel in space
  3. They will be eager to get in touch with us
  4. They may not be aware of our existence

Explanatory Answer

In the last line, the author talks about there being enough time for the aliens to get in touch with us. It is his assumption that they will want to do so.
