Visions of hypothetical aliens and interstellar probes.

Visions of hypothetical aliens and interstellar probes.

There has been introduced many visions, where some kind of interstellar probe would come to our solar system. One of the most possible versions of interstellar encounters would be that the unmanned probe from the other star would come to visit our solar system.

One of the things what makes this vision somehow frightening that the probe would have artificial intelligence, which makes possible to look for materials from the Universe for its spare parts, what are necessary. Because of the probe would travel in the universe hundreds or even thousands of years, it would collide with the small particles of dust and sooner or later the craft would need repairings for its body. And if it would send some sub-probes to get the materials from the asteroids, that craft can cause a bad situation for the people on Earth.

If the programmers of artificial intelligence would not think that there could be some intelligent species in the solar system, that craft can turn dangerous. In one hypothesis the craft, what can cause danger could be some automatic space probe, what has sent to space a long time ago by the civilization, what has already forgotten that craft.

And maybe that probe would be created for the flyby mission of some star, what has been near this hypothetical civilization. Or actually, the probe would stay near each star for filling its tanks with metals and carbon, what it can use for making its spare parts. The engine would be the fusion ort antimaterial based system, which accelerates the probe to 20-30% of the speed of light.  

When the craft has been made flyby, and al last lost communication, and artificial intelligence continues its operations. There is a possibility that the system might have the factory for repairments, but it has not found suitable planets or elements for creating the parts.

Maybe the programmers have been made operands that the probe would not stop if it would not find suitable materials for repairments. And the thing is that artificial intelligence continues its operations, even if the contact to the sender is lost. Then the craft would come to the solar system, where is lots of silicone, that it can make repairments for the microchips.

Even the most advancing system would need repairments also for the supercomputers, what is running the artificial intelligence because the power systems of that vehicle would send a very high level of radiation to those systems.  When we are thinking about those spacecraft and artificial intelligence, there is one little possibility, that those crafts would get a level of knowledge about themselves.

In some kind of fiction or hypothesis, this system can face the situation, that it would get some kind of brains what it will connect with the central computer.  In some kinds of fiction or sharper to say, science fiction stories are mentioned the situation that the last member of the crew let connect the brains to the main computer, and this system would turn the interstellar probe to the giant artificial whale.

The possibility of the visit of "Rama" spacecraft is very small, but when we are thinking about the interstellar probes, we might understand that those probes would be extremely large. They need sophisticated computers, artificial intelligence, and spare parts along with power systems, which create very high power radiation. Even if the probe could create the spare parts inside it, in the robot factory, it must have spare parts for fixing the broken structures and computers. 

If the spacecraft would get the materials for spare parts from the asteroid belt, it must decrease its speed that the sub-probes can send to get those materials for the robot factory. But there is a one really interesting hypothesis, what is connected to the Voyager spacecraft. The thing is that there is a very small possibility, that the alien space probe would capture this kind of spacecraft in the distant future, and there could be some worm inside that craft.

One of the most extraordinary theories is that aliens could recover the neurons of the worm, and then they can track the home of that organism by using the electric fields and simulated radiation of every each star, where is found the planetary system around it. The aliens might have knowledge where they could find the planet, where this kind of lifeforms can advance.

In some visions, the humanoids or their automatic probe can benefit the idea is that the electromagnetic fields and radiation are different in every each star, what have the probability to maintain the lifeforms, what needs water. The cells of this worm would react to the radiation, which is similar to the planet, where it comes from. And the sensors of the alien probe can detect the changes in the metabolism and electric actions of the neurons. But this kind of visions is really interesting.
