Technosignatures longevity and Lindy's law
A. Balbi, C. Grimaldi
The probability of detecting technosignatures (i.e. evidence of technological activity beyond Earth) increases with their longevity, or the time interval over which they manifest.…
Planetary Scale Information Transmission in the Biosphere and Technosphere: Limits and Evolution
Manasvi Lingam, Adam Frank, Amedeo Balbi
Information transmission via communication between agents is ubiquitous on Earth, and is a vital facet of living systems. In this paper, we aim to quantify this rate of information…
The Oxygen Bottleneck for Technospheres
Amedeo Balbi, Adam Frank
As oxygen is essential for respiration and metabolism for multicellular organisms on Earth, its presence may be crucial for the development of a complex biosphere on other planets.…
A Birth-Death-Migration Model for Life in Astrophysical Environments
Manasvi Lingam, Claudio Grimaldi, Amedeo Balbi
To assess the number of life-bearing worlds in astrophysical environments, it is necessary to take the intertwined processes of abiogenesis (birth), extinction (death), and transfe…
Excitation Properties of Photopigments and Their Possible Dependence on the Host Star
Manasvi Lingam, Amedeo Balbi, Swadesh M. Mahajan
Photosynthesis is a plausible pathway for the sustenance of a substantial biosphere on an exoplanet. In fact, it is also anticipated to create distinctive biosignatures detectable…
A Bayesian Analysis of Technological Intelligence in Land and Oceans
Manasvi Lingam, Amedeo Balbi, Swadesh M. Mahajan
Current research indicates that (sub)surface ocean worlds essentially devoid of subaerial landmasses (e.g., continents) are common in the Milky Way, and that these worlds could hos…
