Discovering Alien Life in an Unexpected Form (part 4)


One of the advantages an alien race might have integrating their minds with computers is that a machine is much more durable than a biological form. Space travel is currently limited by distance, as we have not achieved the speeds to make travel to other galaxies possible within someone's lifetime. Suspended animation is currently being considered for people to make the long journey more plausible. However, if an alien race was essentially uploaded as a computer intelligence into a machine, the physical limitations of a biological body no longer need to be considered. This would be an advantage not only for space travel, but for surviving harsh conditions on a planet that may be otherwise uninhabitable due to pollution or natural causes. Perhaps the UFO's that people claim to have sighted around the world are not piloted by biological aliens at all, but by an alien artificial intelligence. If that is the case, calling it “artificial” doesn't quite seem appropriate!
