Aliens From a Parallel Universe May Be All Around Us—And We Don’t Even Know It, Study Suggests

A recent study suggests that our universe may not be the most optimal one for life, as it hosts fewer stars than a hypothetical universe with less dark energy. Researchers in Switzerland and the U.K. explored how dark energy density affects star formation and the potential for intelligent life. They found that while our universe is close to optimal, it's still not the most ideal for life. The study doesn't prove the existence of the multiverse or extraterrestrial life but offers a new perspective on how dark energy density could impact star formation and intelligent life.
