The researchers found that aliens kept dying off within just 1,000 years because their planets would always get too hot to remain habitable.
This research suggests that advanced civilizations may be short-lived due to growing energy consumption, which leads to climate change, limiting their chances of survival.
Lingam likened the problem to a leaky bathtub, where energy demands create waste heat that ultimately overwhelms planetary environments.
This study offers a new perspective on the Fermi paradox: technological species may be infrequent since they often perish from climate-induced conditions.
