A new scientific study supports something amazing: the existence of life – and human intelligence – may be due to gravitational waves.

It all starts with the collisions of neutron stars, known as a kilon, which are located thanks to the gravitational waves. These explosions launch heavy elements such as heavenly and Thorium, which eventually ended up inside the earth.

Radioactive decomposition of these elements produces heat, which activates the geodynamic activity of our planet: volcanic activity, tectonic plates and, significantly, the magnetic field that protects life from radiation.

Without these phenomena, there may have been no complex life or environmental pressures that caused the evolution of human intelligence.

This theory, presented by astrophysicist Bernard Shutz and his team, gives the gravitational waves a new role: not just as a “music” of the universe, but as a deeply generating power of our culture.

That’s why organizations like ESA are preparing new missions (such as Lisa) to detect them. Finally, we are not only made of stellar dust – we are the result of cosmic gravity waves.
