The Technological Adolescent Age Transition: A Boundary to Estimate the Last Factor of the Drake Equation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 September 2017
Abstract
Based on the study of several long-term societal indicators we estimate the phase transition between the “Technological Adolescent Age” (TAA) and the “Technological Mature Age” (TMA). Assuming the “Principle of Mediocrity” and using the Drake Equation we estimate a lower threshold for the number of technological civilizations in the galaxy.
