A modern educated person should be aware of the problems facing
humanity and about ways to solve these problems, about further prospects for development
social relations, science and technology, the entire civilization as a whole. According to
most scientists, one of the most promising means and methods of preserving and
development of the Earth's civilization is the improvement of astronomical knowledge and
astronautics to attract resources and opportunities of outer space for
humanity's exit from the energy and environmental crisis.
"Civilization is a community of intelligent beings using the exchange of information,
energy, mass for the development of actions and means that support one’s life and
progressive development" (V.S. Troitsky). Or "Civilization is a highly sustainable
state of matter capable of being collected, analyzed abstractly, and used
information to obtain qualitatively new information about the environment and oneself,
for self-improvement of opportunities for obtaining new information and developing
maintaining reactions. The degree of development of civilization is determined by the volume of accumulated
information, operating program and production for the implementation of these
functions" (N.S. Kardashov)
Noocosmology is a complex science that arose at the intersection of basic natural,
social and technical groups of sciences and using their knowledge, cognitive
methods and means for studying the evolution of space civilizations, including
earthly humanity enters.
The main problems of noocosmology are:
1) the emergence and development of life, intelligence and space civilizations on Earth and in
Universe;
2) detection and establishment of contact with extraterrestrial civilizations;
3) consequences of contact, its influence on the development of civilizations and issues of interconnection and
joint development of space civilizations (CC).
Research into models of possible CC evolution leads to obtaining valuable information about

problems facing humanity in the course of its further development.
The growth of scientific, technical, economic, cultural and political ties between
separate peoples and states, the unification of humanity into a single earthly
civilization, the emergence of global problems, the effective solution of which
impossible without the combined efforts of all people on the globe, increasing
the need and significance of short-term and long-term forecasts determined
the need to create noocosmology as a science about the noosphere, the main provisions
which were developed by V.I. Vernadsky; these include:
1) globalism approach, consideration of civilization as holistic, organically unified
systems;
2) social principle of behavior;
3) environmental factor.
The scientific and scientific-technical prerequisites for its creation were successes in
development of the complex of sociological sciences of history, economics, sociology, etc.,
natural and mathematical sciences, astronomy, physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics
(development of system analysis, synergetics, catastrophe theory, thermodynamics
irreversible processes, etc.), the creation of astronautics and its growing role in solving
global problems, the emergence of real opportunities to come into contact with
extraterrestrial civilizations.
In the middle of the twentieth century, earthly humanity became a Cosmic Civilization (CC)
a society of intelligent beings whose activities have reached cosmic proportions.
The purpose of the intelligent activity of the CC is to study, master and transform
surrounding world or self-restructuring, corresponding to its structure,
characteristics and properties to maintain and increase the sustainability of its existence
and further development; priority development tasks can repeatedly and significantly
change during the life of the CC. Most modern scientists believe that at the beginning
In its development, any CC necessarily goes through a technological stage.
The evolution of the CC is anti-entropic in nature and manifests itself in increasing complexity and
differentiation of internal, social, technological and cultural structure
civilization. Science is a method and tool for understanding the world around us, and
a practical means of transforming it and its own technology with
social division of labor, as one of the prerequisites for successful development
and the use of high technology.
The development of models for the possible development of space civilizations was carried out by
Since the 60s of the twentieth century, many of the world's leading scientists and research
organizations (J. Bernal, A. D. Ursul, V. V. Kazyutinsky, S. Lem, L. V. Leskov, I. S.
Shklovsky, N.S. Kardashev, S.F. Likhachev and others). To build models
used: extrapolation method based on study and forecasting
the most general trends in the development of earthly civilization and a systematic approach consisting of
studying the general principles of the structure, functioning and evolution of complex
self-organizing systems.
It is assumed that by the beginning of the 21st century the rate of increase in carbon dioxide in
atmosphere will exceed its natural decline, average annual temperatures will increase by
1.5 0С, increasing global warming of the “new climate optimum” and increasing
the level of the World Ocean by 68 m, which will cause flooding of vast areas,
which contains dozens of capitals and largest cities on the planet. Increases
absolute and relative humidity, changes in the distribution of precipitation over
regions of the Earth and seasons. These and many other forms of influence of civilization on
all the natural shells of the Earth cannot but cause concern for the future of humanity.
2000, they believe that earthly humanity has reached its maximum level
life development, in the future the situation will worsen.

Overall unbalanced growing overpopulation of the globe with increasing
production and energy consumption, in the absence of waste-free technologies with
the closed nature of the development of civilization by 2020 will lead to a series
increasing resource and environmental disasters with irreversible consequences.
The year 2050 will be a turning point. Environmental pollution will be at its maximum
possible and, according to Forrester’s model, will further decrease due to
progressive decline in production levels and by 2200 with the lowest level
life of humanity, the situation will stabilize, the degraded civilization will
unable to use remaining natural resources, survivors await
primitive existence with a very low standard of living.
Analysis of various models of noosphere evolution leads to the following conclusions:
1. The probability of evolution along different phase trajectories is different.
2. The duration of the technological phase of the evolution of the CC does not exceed (in different
models) 103105 years.
3. There are practically no civilizations with an extensive development pattern,
determined by the unlimited growth of energy and material resource consumption.

This book paints a picture of the entire infinite Universe, from the smallest particles of matter to the largest regions formed by Big Bangs. It is safe to say that no one has ever drawn such a picture of the Universe. I hope that this book will bring the reader one step closer to understanding the ideal model of the Universe. All chapters of the book are closely interconnected. Therefore, in order to better understand subsequent chapters, you need to master the content of the previous ones. It is necessary to at least briefly note those provisions and hypotheses that belong personally to the author and which determine the logic of the entire book.

The smallest particles of matter are the primary particles, which form all the bodies of the infinite Universe. The level of elementary particles and scattering galaxies is not the boundaries of the Universe in depth and breadth, but the boundaries of our knowledge at the beginning of the 21st century. In the book, these boundaries are expanded, and the Universe is presented in all its infinity: from primordial particles and vacuum to the pulsating Universe with areas of the gathering of galaxies, the formation of “black superholes”, their Big Bangs and the scattering of emerging galaxies, from the infinite distant past to the infinite distant future. The Good Universal Mind is God. The task of every person is to serve as an instrument of God. Not in the distant future, not after death, but now during earthly life. Every person is a piece of God; Thanks to every person, God is not only infinite, but also eternal. This imposes great obligations and great responsibility on each person. Science is as limitless as the Universe, and only the infinite and eternal Universal Mind can fully embrace and reflect it.

Introduction There is nothing more exciting than the search for life and intelligence in the Universe. The uniqueness of the earth's biosphere and human intelligence challenges our belief in the unity of nature. Man will not rest until he solves the mystery of his origin. On this path it is necessary to go through three important steps: to find out the secret of the birth of the Universe, to solve the problem of the origin of life and to understand the nature of the mind.

In my essay, I set myself the goal of finding out that we are not alone in the Universe. I want to learn about distant cosmic worlds, about the Universe. In my opinion, the most important thing in astronomy is to find out how the world works, is there life on other planets, are we alone in the vast Universe, or does life exist somewhere, just like ours?

The emergence of intelligence must be closely connected with a radical improvement and improvement in the ways of exchanging information between individuals. Therefore, for the history of the emergence of intelligent life on Earth, the emergence of language was of decisive importance. Can we, however, consider such a process universal for the evolution of life in all corners of the Universe? Most likely no! Indeed, in principle, under completely different conditions, the means of exchanging information between individuals could be not longitudinal vibrations of the atmosphere (or hydrosphere) in which these individuals live, but something completely different.

Attempts have long been made to discover and establish contact with other civilizations. In 1974, the automatic interplanetary station Pioneer 10 was launched in the United States. Inside the station there is a steel plate with designs and symbols engraved on it, which provide minimal information about our earthly civilization. This image is composed in such a way that intelligent beings who find it will be able to determine the position of the solar system in our Galaxy and guess about our appearance and, possibly, intentions. But of course, an extraterrestrial civilization has a much better chance of finding us on Earth than finding Pioneer 10.

Currently, life is defined not through the internal structure of the substance that is inherent in it, but through its functions: a control system, which includes a mechanism for transmitting hereditary information that ensures safety to subsequent generations. Thus, due to the inevitable interference in the transmission of such information, our molecular complex (organism) is capable of mutations, and, consequently, of evolution.

The emergence of living matter on Earth (and, as can be judged by analogy, on other planets) was preceded by a rather long and complex evolution of the chemical composition of the atmosphere, which ultimately led to the formation of a number of organic molecules. These molecules subsequently served as building blocks for the formation of living matter.

It should be noted once again that the central problem of the origin of life on Earth - the explanation of the qualitative leap from lifeless to living - is still far from clear. It is not for nothing that one of the founders of modern molecular biology, Professor Crick, said at the Byurakan Symposium on the problem of extraterrestrial civilizations in September 1971: We do not see a path from the primordial soup to natural selection. One can come to the conclusion that the origin of life is a miracle, but this only testifies to our ignorance.

Neither astronauts nor automatic stations have yet visited the small planet MERCURY, closest to the Sun. But people know something about it thanks to research from Earth and from the American Mariner 10 spacecraft flying near Mercury (1974 and 1975). Conditions there are even worse than on the Moon. There is no atmosphere, and the surface temperature varies from –170 to 450 C. Under the ground, the temperature averages about 80 C, and it naturally increases with depth.

In the recent past, astronomers considered VENUS to be an almost exact copy of the young Earth. Unfortunately, due to its proximity to the Sun, Venus is not at all like Earth. In short, it’s also not the best place to live. In the recent past, astronomers considered VENUS to be an almost exact copy of the young Earth.

MARS was considered a habitable planet for good reason. Although the climate there is very harsh (in summer the temperature is about 0 C, at night –80 C, and in winter it reaches –120 C), but it is still not hopelessly bad for life: it exists in Antarctica and on the peaks of the Himalayas. However, there is another problem on Mars: an extremely thin atmosphere, 100 times less dense than on Earth. It does not save the surface of Mars from the destructive ultraviolet rays of the Sun and does not allow water to remain in a liquid state. On Mars, water can only exist in the form of steam and ice.

GIANT PLANETS. The climate of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune does not at all correspond to our ideas about comfort: very cold, terrible gas composition (methane, ammonia, hydrogen, etc.), practically no solid surface, only a dense atmosphere and an ocean of liquid gases.

In space we encounter a wide range of physical conditions: the temperature of the substance varies from 35 K to K, and the density from up to 1018 kg/cm3. Among such a large diversity, it is often possible to discover places (for example, interstellar clouds) where one of the physical parameters, from the point of view of terrestrial biology, is favorable for the development of life. But only on planets can all the parameters necessary for life coincide.

For wireless communication on earth, radio is mainly used. Therefore, the main efforts are now aimed at searching for signals from extraterrestrial civilizations (ECs) in the radio range. But they are also carried out in other radiation ranges. Over the past 20 years, several experiments have been carried out to search for laser signals in the optical range.

Language of Brothers in Mind Contacts with other civilizations will certainly be associated with very great difficulties, and may even turn out to be fruitless. After all, some texts in the dead languages ​​of the Earth, unique messages from the depths of centuries, are still not read. Even greater difficulties should be expected if we manage to accidentally overhear radio messages from other worlds intended for internal use, for example, fragments of television programs or the call signs of space beacons.

Drake's formula Francis Drake proposed a simple formula for estimating the number of intelligent communities in our Galaxy ready to make contact with us: n = N * P1 * P2 * P3 * P4 * t / T, where n is the number of civilizations in the Galaxy ready for radio contact ; N is the number of stars in the Galaxy; P1 - the proportion of stars with planetary systems; P2 is the proportion of planetary systems in which life arose; P3 – the proportion of biospheres in which life has reached the level of intelligence; P4 - the proportion of intelligent communities that reach the technical level of our civilization (or higher) and want to establish contact; t is the average time of existence of technical civilization; T is the age of the Galaxy.

So far, we know with relative accuracy only three factors in this formula: the age of the Galaxy T ~ 10^10 years, the number of stars in it N ~ 10^11 and the frequency of formation of planetary systems P1 ~ 0.1. I estimated the remaining factors in my own way: P2 ~ 1, P3 ~ 0.1, P4 ~ 1, t ~ 100 years. Substituting these values ​​into Drake's formula, we see that several civilizations in the Galaxy are now ready for contact with us. Therefore, it makes sense to make an effort and finally establish this contact.

Conclusion From this abstract we can conclude that scientists around the world have not yet proven whether we are alone in the Universe? and whether there is intelligent life on other planets. We often ask very general questions concerning the existence and properties of the Universe as a whole. But just because a question is posed does not mean that it can be answered.

Does life exist in the Universe?

Slide 1

Does life exist in the Universe? Prepared by Student 11B class Kuntish Oleksandra (

Slide 2

Imagine for a moment what would happen to humanity if evidence of the existence of other life was discovered outside the Earth. Understanding the origins of extraterrestrial life will change. If life arose more than once in the solar system, then there is a possibility of new life emerging in our system. Based on this, we can come to the conclusion that there are billions of galaxies in the Universe in which new life arises in the same way.

Slide 3

In addition, if we take into account natural selection, as a result of which only the strongest organism survives in the world of worlds, most likely, each galaxy will have its own species of living beings. Some people believe that many living organisms have long since become extinct, and there is no point in humanity looking for traces of intelligent life on planets. After all, until we were able to build spaceships and began to study space and nearby planets, quite a lot of time passed. But still, very few people think so

Slide 4

Most are of the opinion that extraterrestrial intelligence exists, it exists. We’re just not ready yet, although we want to see extraterrestrial life and establish contact with them. Now the chance of meeting extraterrestrial intelligence is minimal. And if you take into account all the existing factors, an encounter with a technologically advanced alien species is negligible. But, nevertheless, we should not forget that a more developed species may not want to make contact, or alien creatures are waiting for the moment when we grow to a certain level, and only after that they will contact us .

Slide 5

A striking example of the search for extraterrestrial civilization is the mission to Mars. Scientists have suggested that the presence of oxygen and methane in the atmosphere of the Red Planet is the real evidence of life activity on the surface of this planet. As you know, oxygen is a chemically active gas, which, when reacting with other gases, very quickly disappears from the atmosphere. If it is present in its pure form, then this is evidence that it is constantly replenished.

Slide 6

That's why NASA scientists sent the Curiosity rover to Mars. His main task is to search for confirmation of the existence of life or signs of the presence of intelligent beings on this planet. In addition to Mars, it is quite possible that life is or was present on other planets in the solar system. Mars became the first stage of exploration. It is quite possible that similar spacecraft will soon be sent to other planets.

Evolution of the Universe and life Revolutionary milestones in the development of astronomy were: the substantiation of the idea of ​​the sphericity of the Earth, the discovery by Copernicus of the heliocentric system of the world, the invention of the telescope, the discovery of the basic laws of celestial mechanics, the use of spectral analysis and photography in astronomy, the study of the structure of our Galaxy, the discovery of the Metagalaxy and its expansion, the beginning of the space age and the era of experiments in outer space.

Slide 3

The astronomical picture of the world is a picture of the evolving Universe. The evolution of the Universe includes the evolution of matter and the evolution of structure. The evolution of matter was accompanied by a decrease in its temperature, density, and the formation of chemical elements. The evolution of structure is associated with the emergence of superclusters of galaxies, the separation and formation of stars and galaxies, and the formation of planets and their satellites.

Slide 4

The Universe appears before us as an endlessly unfolding process of matter evolution in time and space. In this process, a wide variety of objects and phenomena of the microworld and megaworld are interconnected.

Slide 5

At a certain stage in the evolution of matter, when suitable conditions appear in the Universe, life arises. For the existence of life, it is also important that the Metagalaxy expands. If for some reason the compression of the Metagalaxy began several billion years ago, then the gradual increase in temperature would exceed the value at which the existence of life is possible.

Slide 6

The problem of extraterrestrial civilizations We live on a large planet moving around one of the countless stars in the Universe. And therefore it is difficult to come to terms with the idea that we are alone in the limitless Universe. Most modern astronomers and philosophers believe that life is a widespread phenomenon in the Universe and there are many worlds on which civilizations live. The level of development of some extraterrestrial civilizations may be higher than the level of development of terrestrial civilization. It is with such civilizations that earthlings are interested in establishing contact.

Slide 7

Thus, the problem of extraterrestrial civilizations is actually more complicated than it might seem at first glance. You can argue and bring new arguments in favor or against the reality of extraterrestrial civilizations, but only further observations and experiments will make it possible to find out whether there are inhabited worlds somewhere or whether we are alone, at least within our Galaxy.
