Dr. Stephen Hawking recently theorized about the possibility of life in places other than Earth. And while lately it seems like Dr. Hawking is in the news for pop-science opinions rather more often than for actual scientific research, he brings up a few good ideas. For fun, I'd like to add a couple more. Life, in places other than our lil' blue planet, possibly...
- ...is less intelligent/evolved than us and haven't invented any modes of transportation, communication and other technology that we're using in space exploration. Perhaps they're still in a prehistoric or even single-celled stage.
- ...has already nuked itself.
- ...is vastly intelligent and want nothing to do with our meager selves and our ass-backwards planet.
- ...have a dominant species (like Earth's humans) that share a lot of traits with Dan O'Bannon's Geiger-inspired aliens and we're better off not discovering them...or being discovered by them.
The universe, and what lies beyond, might be infinite - there must be something somewhere.
