WASHINGTON: The answer to whether alien life exists may be hiding inside our own body!
According to a new theory, human genetic code
is embedded with a "designer label" that may be an indelible stamp of a
master extraterrestrial civilization that preceded us by many millions
or billions of years. Researchers Vladimir I shCherbak of al-Farabi
Kazakh National University of Kazakhstan, and Maxim A Makukov of the Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute, hypothesize that an intelligent signal embedded in our genetic code would be a mathematical and semantic message that cannot be accounted for by Darwinian evolution.
Calling it "biological SETI", shCherbak and Makukov argue that the
scheme has much greater longevity and chance of detecting alien life
than a transient extraterrestrial radio transmission, the 'Discovery News' reported.
"Once fixed, the code might stay unchanged over cosmological timescales,
in fact, it is the most durable construct known. Therefore it
represents an exceptionally reliable storage for an intelligent
signature. Once the genome is appropriately rewritten the new code with a
signature will stay frozen in the cell and its progeny, which might
then be delivered through space and time," the researchers wrote in the
journal Icarus.
They said in order to pass the designer label
test, any patterns in the genetic code must be highly statistically
significant and possess intelligent-like features that are inconsistent
with any natural know process. Researchers said their detailed analysis
of the human genome displays a thorough precision-type orderliness in
the mapping between DNA's nucleotides and amino acids.
"Simple
arrangements of the code reveal an ensemble of arithmetical and
ideographical patterns of symbolic language," said researchers. The
scheme includes the use of decimal notation, logical transformations,
and the use of the abstract symbol of zero.
"Accurate and
systematic, these underlying patterns appear as a product of precision
logic and nontrivial computing," researchers wrote. This interpretation
leads to a far-fetched conclusion that the genetic code, "appears that
it was invented outside the solar system already several billions years
ago," endorsing the idea of panspermia — that Earth was seeded with
interstellar life.
