The search for extraterrestrial technologies
- Are we alone ?
- Do we live in a universe that is populated with many, many intelligent species.
- Or are we as human beings just the intelligent life anywhere in the universe.
- soon after the earth cooled off after it’s formation, life began.
- somehow a self replicating organism came forth, amidst the laws of thermodynamics that govern the universe.
- that life evolved fantastic complexity, and then evolved intelligently.
- the galaxy is awash in water, organic molecules, and complex chemistry.
- All the things we know are necessary for life to begin on this planet, exist in abundance throughout the galaxy.
- but did life ever arise on any of those planets.
- and if that life, if it did ever arise – did it ever go on to develop intelligence?
- is intelligence a common outcome of life.
- is intelligence a driven process?
- does life proceed towards intelligence for some reasons that we don’t yet understand.
- or is intelligence some evolutionary fluke that only happened on one single planet.
- if intelligence does arise commonly how far can technology progress?
- how advanced could very advanced life become.
- there could be life out there if it evolved intelligence that could be dramatically more advanced than the life we have here on this planet.
