It has been suggested that we are most
likely to discover alien life by finding either microbes in our solar
system, signals from an alien intelligence, or organisms in the
atmosphere of an exoplanet. The most profound impact would likely be
discovering evidence of an alien intelligence, but our current
expectations might not be aligned with how advanced that intelligence
might be. We often assume things based on what we are familiar with,
but consider how the human race is currently advancing with
technology. Some speculate that we may soon wire our brains to the
internet, and many are predicting that Artificial Intelligence might
surpass our own within the next fifty years. A new theory about
discovering alien life suggests that we'll find something far
different from little green men--we may discover aliens have advanced
themselves to exist as a form of artificial intelligence.
