Astrophysicists from Durham University have developed a new theoretical model to estimate the likelihood of intelligent life in the Universe. Building on the concept of the Drake Equation, the model differs by focusing on the effects of the Universe’s accelerating expansion and star formation, rather than just calculating the number of detectable extraterrestrial civilizations.
