Yesterday, Friday, in Marrakech, the Swiss astrophysicist, Michel Mayor, gave a lecture in which he discussed scientific research on the possibility of the existence of Earth-like planets capable of harboring life, or what is known as the “multiverse theory”.
Professor Mayor highlighted, in a lecture on the topic “Other worlds in the universe? The search for planets similar to ours that may harbor life!” It comes within the framework of the series of major symposia “Marrakesh Tribunes” (the 2022 session), highlighting the rapid development of research aimed at discovering planets similar to Earth and capable of harboring life.
The astrophysicist, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2019 for discovering, along with Didier Queloz, the first exoplanet in orbit around a solar star, that the question about the multiplicity of inhabited universes is a very old question that philosophers have addressed for more than 2,000 years, noting that This question has acquired another dimension in the modern era with the development of this field, thanks to the invention of high-performance technologies and successive discoveries made by astrophysicists all over the world.
During this scientific lecture, a member of the Geneva Observatory and emeritus professor at the city’s own university tried to bring the audience closer to the results of his research, which focuses on the remarkable diversity of extraterrestrial systems.
The event also provided an opportunity for Professor Mayor to introduce the public to future astronomical structures and instruments, which are in progress, and which are likely to contribute to further discoveries regarding the planetary system.
For his part, the President of Cadi Ayyad University in Marrakech, Hassan Ahbeed, stressed the importance the university attaches to this promising scientific field and its innovation-related returns.
He pointed out that the Higher Education Institution has established many research structures in this field, such as the Laboratory for High Energies Physics and Astrophysics, with the aim of promoting research in this field. In addition to the Oukaimeden Observatory, which is the first university astronomical observatory in Morocco that aims to promote the subject of astronomy within the university.
This lecture is part of the series of major symposia “Pulpits of Marrakech” of Cadi Ayyad University, which are moderated by personalities from the worlds of politics, science and culture.
The Marrakesh Forums constitute a space for important meetings and rich discussions, by attracting an audience who is passionate and interested in current world issues.
