Life in the Universe

Papers

The papers are those I've read and/or want to keep track of: the list is not meant to be exhaustive. The papers are listed under appropriate headings. They have piles of references to other papers. Any problems encountered in the papers that I solved have been placed in my Astronomy \&~Astrophysics Problems: I've noted when there are such problems. Eventually the paper list could grow in a unbounded manner. Thus older papers will gradually be shifted to decadal sub-pages as they date.

1. ``Brane Worlds, the Subanthropic Principle and the Undetectability Conjecture'' Gato-Rivera, B. 2003, Report-no: IMAFF-FM-03/16, physics/0308078. The old reservation hypothesis: we are the mountain gorillas of the universe. A sort of silly paper, but it may all be true nonetheless. I tend to think that intelligent life is rare and super-advancement may not lead to hyper-intellengent pandimensionality.
2. Benn, C. R. (2001) The Moon and the Origin of Life A review of whether the Moon aided the development of life. The p.~2 problem is in AAP.
