Part 1THE STATISTICALDRAKE EQUATION
10
Deterministic Drake Equation /1
  • In 1961 Frank Drake introduced his famous Drake
    equation described at the web site
    http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_equation. It
    yields the number N of communicating
    civilizations in the Galaxy
  • Frank Donald Drake (b. 1930)

11
Deterministic Drake Equation /2
  • The meaning of the seven factors in the Drake
    equation is well-known.
  • The middle factor fl is Darwinian Evolution.
  • In the classical Drake equation the seven factors
    are just POSITIVE NUMBERS. And the equation
    simply is the PRODUCT of these seven positive
    numbers.
  • It is claimed here that Drakes approach is too
    simple-minded, since it does NOT yield the
    ERROR BAR associated to each factor!

12
STATISTICAL Drake Equation /1
  • If we want to associate an ERROR BAR to each
    factor of the Drake equation then
  • we must regard each factor in the Drake
    equation as a RANDOM VARIABLE.
  • Then the number N of communicating civilizations
    also becomes a random variable.
  • This we call the STATISTICAL DRAKE EQUATION and
    studied in our mentioned reference paper of 2010
    (Acta Astronautica, Vol. 67 (2010), pages
    1366-1383)

13
STATISTICAL Drake Equation /2
  • Denoting each random variable by capitals, the
    STATISTICAL DRAKE EQUATION reads
  • Where the D sub i (D from Drake) are the 7
    random variables, and N is a random variable too
    (to be determined).

14
Extending the STATISTICAL Drake Equation to ANY
NUMBER OF FACTORS /1
  • Consider the statistical equation
  • This is the generalization of our Statistical
    Drake Equation to the product of ANY finite
    NUMBER of positive random variables.
  • Is it possible to determine the statistics of N ?
  • Rather surprisingly, the answer is yes !

15
Extending the STATISTICAL Drake Equation to ANY
NUMBER OF FACTORS /2
  • First, you obviously take the natural log of both
    sides to change the finite product into a finite
    sum
  • Second, to this finite sum one can apply the
    CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREM OF STATISTICS. It states
    that, in the limit for an infinite sum, the
    distribution of the left-hand-side is NORMAL.
  • This is true WHATEVER the distributions of the
    random variables in the sum MAY BE.

16
SOLVING the STATISTICAL Drake Equation for
INFINITELY MANY FACTORS
  • So, the random variable on the left is NORMAL,
    i.e.
  • Thus, the random variable N under the log must be
    LOG-NORMAL and its distribution is determined!
  • One must, however, determine the mean value and
    variance of this log-normal distribution in terms
    of the mean values and variances of the factor
    random variables. This is DIFFICULT. But it can
    be done, for example, by a suitable numeric code
    that this author wrote in MathCad language.

18
Conclusion about the Drake equationThe number
of Signaling Civilizations is LOGNORMALLY
distributed
  • Our Statistical Drake Equation, now Generalized
    to any number of factors, embodies as a special
    case the Statistical Drake Equation with just 7
    factors.
  • The conclusion is that the random variable N (the
    number of communicating ET Civilizations in the
    Galaxy) is LOG-NORMALLY distributed.
  • The classical old pure-number Drake value of N
    is now replaced by the MEAN VALUE of such a
    log-normal distribution.
  • But we now also have an ERROR BAR around it !

  • Acta Astronautica, Vol.101 (2014), pag. 67-80.

22
THE BIG HISTORY EQUATION is 1) The DRAKE
equation (yielding the Evolution of Life
on Earth since -3.5 billion years ago) 2) PLUS
the BEGINNING TERM i.e. the cosmological
evolution of the Universe PRIOR to -3.5 billion
years.
  • In fact, the WHOLE UNIVERSE (and NOT just the
    Milky Way) evolved since the Big Bang

23
BIG HISTORY EQUATION
  • Where is the (unknown) number of
    Galaxies
  • supposed to exist in the entire Universe.
  • The probability distribution of the new random
    variable Number of Civilizations in the
    Universe is a lognormal, but we dont know when
    it started...
  • at least until we will know a sufficient number
    of Alien Civilizations!

Part 3b-LOGNORMALSas the LIFE-TIME of a
cell, of an animal, of a human, a civilization
(f sub i) even ET (f sub L)
28
LIFE as a FINITE b-LOGNORMAL
  • The lifetime of a cell, an animal, a human, a
    civilization can be modeled as a b-lognormal with
    tail REPLACED at senility by the descending
    TANGENT. The interception at time axis is
    DEATHd.

29
LIFE as a FINITE b-LOGNORMAL
  • The equation of a INFINITE b-lognormal is
  • The lifetime of a cell, an animal, a human, a
    civilization can be modeled as a FINITE
    b-lognormal namely an infinite b-lognormal whose
    TAIL has been REPLACED at senility by the
    descending TANGENT STRAIGHT LINE. The
    interception of this straight line at time axis
    is DEATHd.

30
LIFE as a FINITE b-LOGNORMAL


31
HISTORY FORMULAE
  • Let a increasing inflexion, s decreasing
    inflexion.
  • Then any b-lognormal has birth time (b),
    adolescence time (a), peak time (p) and senility
    time (s).
  • Romes civilization b-753, a-146, p59,
    s235.
  • HISTORY FORMULAE GIVEN (b, s, d) it is always
    possible to compute the corresponding b-lognormal
    by virtue of the following two HISTORY FORMULAE

32
LIFE as INFINITE b-LOGNORMAL
  • Let a increasing inflexion, s decreasing
    inflexion.
  • Then any b-lognormal has birth time (b),
    adolescence time (a), peak time (p) and senility
    time (s).
  • Romes civilization b-753, a-146, p59,
    s235.

33
LIFE as a FINITE b-LOGNORMAL
  • ANY FINITE LIFE may be modeled as a b-lognormal
    with tail REPLACED at senility by the descending
    TANGENT. The interception at time axis is
    DEATHd.
  • (e.g. for Rome civilization one has b-753,
    d476)

EXPONENTIAL as ENVELOPE of b-LOGNORMALS
  • Each b-lognormal has its peak on the exponential.
  • PRACTICALLY an Envelope, though not so
    formally.

50
b-LOGNORMALS i.e. LOGNORMALS starting at
bbirth
  • b-lognormals are just lognormals starting at any
    finite positive instant bgt0, that is supposed to
    be known.
  • b-lognormals are thus a family of probability
    density functions with three real and positive
    parameters m, s, and b.

51
b-LOGNORMAL PEAK /1
  • It is POSSIBLE to match the second equation (peak
    ordinate) with the EXPONENTIAL curve of the
    increasing number of Species ?
  • YES, that may be done by setting

52
b-LOGNORMAL PEAK /2
  • We discovered that it is POSSIBLE to MATCH these
    two equations EXACTLY just upon setting

53
b-LOGNORMAL PEAK /3
  • Moreover, the last two equations can be INVERTED,
    i.e. solved for m and s EXACTLY, thus yielding
  • These two equations prove that, knowing the
    exponential (i.e. A and B) and peak time p, the
    b-lognormal HAVING ITS PEAK EXACTLY ON THE
    EXPONENTIAL is perfectly determined (i.e. its m
    and s are perfectly determined given A, B and p.
    This is the KEY RESULT to make further
    progress.

WARNING !!!GEOMETRIC BROWNIAN MOTIONis a
WRONG DENOMINATION
This process in NOT a Brownian Motion at all
since its probability density function is a
LOGNORMAL, and NOT A GAUSSIAN !!! So, the pdf
ranges between ZERO and INFINITY, and NOT
between minus infinity and infinity!!! Period.

Part 7ENTROPY as the EVOLUTION MEASURE
68
b-LOGNORMAL ENTROPY
  • Shannon ENTROPY for a probability density (in
    bits)
  • Shannon ENTROPY for b-lognormals (in bits)

69
b-LOGNORMAL ENTROPY for GBM
  • But m ONLY is a function of the peak abscissa p
  • Shannon ENTROPY for the b-lognormal in bits

70
CIVILIZATION LEVEL DIFFERENCE
  • The ENTROPY DIFFERENCE among any two
    Civilizations having their two peak abscissae at
    p sub 1 and p sub 2 is given by
  • ENTROPY IS THUS A MEASURE OF THE LEVEL OF
    PROGRESS REACHED BY EACH CIVILIZATION.
  • ENTROPY DIFFERENCE measures the DIFFERENCE in
    civilization level among any two Civilizations.
  • If it is known WHEN the two Civilizations reached
    their two peaks, the above formula yields their
    CIVILIZATION LEVEL DIFFERENCE.

71
EXAMPLESof CIVILIZATION DIFFERENCES
  • The DIFFERENCE in Civilization Level between the
    Spaniard and Aztecs in 1519 was about 3.84 bits
    per individual, amounting to 50 CENTURIES in
    evolution !
  • The DIFFERENCE in Civilization Level between a
    Victorian Briton and a Pericles Greek was about
    1.76 bits per individual.
  • The DIFFERENCE in Civilization Level between
    Humanity and the first Alien Civilization we will
    find in the Galaxy is UNKNOWN, of course, but
  • but now we have a Mathematical Theory to
    ESTIMATE IT on the basis of the messages we get.

72
EXAMPLE of GBM EVOLUTION DIFFERENCE
  • The DIFFERENCE in GBM Darwinian Evolution between
    two species on Earth is given by the same
    equation
  • As for the DIFFERENCE in Civilization Level,
    except we must now use the different numerical
    value of B the enveloping Darwinian exponential,
    found earlier.
  • The result is that the DIFFERENCE IN EVOLUTION
    LEVEL between the first living being (RNA) 3.5
    billion years ago and Humans living now is about
    25.57 bits per individual.

FERMI PARADOX (22 M-years)An estimate of how
many bits/individual of EVOLUTIONare needed to
settle the Galaxy.
Humans would be able to colonize the whole Galaxy
only if they could improve themselves by some
10,000 bits/individual. This is about 400 times
the 25 bits/individual improvement that Nature
took on Earth to evolve over 3.5 billion years.
But no other Alien Civilization would have to
interfere, which is highly unlikely! Thus, our
mathematical theory is crucial to estimate how
much Aliens will be more advanced than Humans,
when SETI scientists find them.

106
  • PEAK-LOCUS THEOREM WITH ARBITRARY MEAN

  • This author was also able to EXTEND the
    Evo-Entropy Theorem to the general case when the
    ENVELOPE of all b-lognormals is an ARBITRARY MEAN
    VALUE
  • In general, this Evo-Entropy is a NON-LINEAR
    funtion of the peak time p of the Running

  • But in the particular case of the GBM mean value,
    the above Evo-Entropy reduces the LINEAR ONE

Part 12MARKOV-KOROTAYEV CUBICas the Mean
Valueof a Lognormal PROCESS
109
MARKOV-KOROTAYEV MODEL OF EVOLUTION
  • Alexander V. Markov and Andrey V. Korotayev have
    demonstrated that changes in biodiversity through
    the Phanerozoic correlate much better with
    hyperbolic model than with exponential and logisti
    c models (traditionally used in population
    biology). The latter models imply that changes in
    diversity are guided by a first-order positive
    feedback (more ancestors, more descendants)
    and/or a negative feedback arising from resource
    limitation.
  • Hyperbolic model implies a second-order positive
    feedback. The hyperbolic pattern of the world
    population growth has been demonstrated by
    Korotayev to arise from a second-order positive
    feedback between the population size and the rate
    of technological growth.
  • According to Korotayev and Markov, the hyperbolic
    character of biodiversity growth can be similarly
    accounted for by a feedback between the diversity
    and community structure complexity. They suggest
    that the similarity between the curves
    of biodiversity and human population probably
    comes from the fact that both are derived from
    the interference of the hyperbolic trend with
    cyclical and stochastic dynamics.

CONCLUSIONS
1) We developed here a new mathematical model
embracing all of Big History, including Darwinian
Evolution (RNA to Humans), Human History (Aztecs
to USA) (see ref. 16) and then we extrapolated
even that that into the future up to 10 million
years (see ref. 17), the minimum time requested
for a civilization to expand to the whole Milky
Way (Fermi paradox). 2) Our mathematical model
is based on the properties of lognormal
probability distributions. It also is fully
compatible with the Statistical Drake Equations,
i.e. the foundational equation of SETI, the
Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence.
3) Merging all these apparently different topics
into the larger but single topic called Big
History is the achievement of this paper. As
such, our statistical theory would be crucial to
estimate how much more advanced than Humans the
Aliens would be when SETI scientists will succeed
in finding the first ET Civilization.
