Part 4/8:
When researchers applied the Majorana chip to analyze Proxima B, they encountered revelations never before seen in previous studies. Instead of finding a barren, static environment with minimal atmospheric presence, the quantum chip unveiled significant fluctuations within the planet’s atmosphere. These fluctuations suggested the existence of dynamic climate patterns, akin to seasonal shifts—something typically found on planets with complex weather systems.
Even more surprising was the detection of molecular signatures of water vapor, hinting at rain cycles or perhaps an ocean beneath the atmosphere. This discovery raised serious questions: could Proxima B harbor microbial life?
