A Caltech paper has stated that we can live on Earth for another 2.3 billion years, over double the current estimate. Because of this new hypothesis (if proven true) it should also mean that we have over twice the chance of finding intelligent life out there in the universe.

A CSIRO discovery could lead to a new boom industry that would not only solve the world's energy problems but also its greenhouse gas concerns, while creating much needed employment. It might sound too good to be true, but the CSIRO, Australia's flagship research organisation, is no pie in the sky organisation and it is deadly serious about this.
