âThe Oxygen Bottleneck for Technospheresâ, 2023-08-02 ()â :
On Earth, the development of technology required easy access to open air combustion, which is only possible when oxygen partial pressure, P(O2), is above 18%.
This suggests that only planets with atmospheric oxygen concentrations will be capable of developing âadvancedâ technospheres and hence detectable techno-signatures.
