Astronomers have not yet found any evidence of alien life neither in our solar system nor outside however a strange claim emerged in which a Harvard professor has suggested what is going to happen with humans on Earth.

Dr Avi Loeb suggested that there would be a mass migration within the next few decades, predicting that those humans would also find a form of alien life, reported Metro UK.

Referring to the migration of Israelis, he likened it to the movement that would be aimed to leave the Earth, saying: “This historic event has potential significance for our future because we are currently confined by gravity to the Earth, and at a point, we decide to leave and be liberated from its confines, we will explore a new world."

Professor Loeb also claimed to Nub TV that the migrating people would only select ones to journey to the stars.

"It will take generations to liberate ourselves from thinking in the context of Earth," the renowned alien hunter remarked.

About space travel and time, he noted: "In Einstein’s theory of gravity, space-time is being curved by masses and it usually takes a long time — even at the speed of light — to cross the Milky Way galaxy."

"But in principle, one can imagine that there are configurations of space and time that allow a shortcut where you can get from one point to another through another path that is shorter — that is allowed in general relativity."

According to the outlet, it would take 100,000 lightyears to cross our Milky Way galaxy, as he opined that times become slow when one gets close to the speed of light.

He suggested that other civilisations are also hunting life such as we are.
