One of the biggest problems with the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence)-program is, that we don't know what we should look for.
One of the biggest problems with the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence)-program is, that we don't know what we should look for.
At first, we must realize that if we are thinking about extraterrestrial intelligence, we must realize that they must not be similar, what we are, and that is the thing, that we must understand. Nothing will deny that in somewhere lives "little green men", or the species that would be like Yoda-creature in Star Wars movies. Sometimes I have thought that Yoda would be the human-vegetable hybrid, which means that this kind of creature would have chlorophyll-molecules in their skin. And that would give those creatures able to live in an atmosphere, where is the pure carbon dioxide.
That creature could form also sugars in its own body, and it would not need vegetables to eat. So would the controlled evolution make this kind of creature, and is it the goal of some evolution lines? That is the thing, that remains a mystery, and without a time machine, we cannot even know, what happens in the future.
The habitable zones near stars are important for life. But then we must realize that we cannot expect, that hypothetical humanoid would be like exactly, what we are. Those creatures must also have the ability to make tools if they want to travel to stars.
If we are closer look the stars and their habitable zones, there are three or four possible habitable zones around each star. The habitable zone of carbon-based species, the habitable zone for silicone-based lifeforms and the methane and Helium 3-based lifeforms. The carbon-based lifeforms are like us, and they are creatures, what is living on Earth, and the rest of others are hypothetical or theoretical lifeforms, what can be existed in the universe.
Before we have researched every galaxy in the universe by using the space probes, we cannot say, are those creatures even existed, and I think that the lifetime of the universe would not enough that kind of missions. That means we can just imagine, what those humanoids would look like.
So here we must realize, that things like silicone-based lifeforms are things, that are causing discussions because for those creatures the water would be poison. And if we are thinking them as the intelligent civilization, we must ask, how those creatures are making fire, what is in the main role, when they are making metallic tools.
Or maybe those interesting but still, hypothetical creatures are using the volcanic temperature for creating the tools, what are in the main role, if the civilization would create technical advantages. Those creatures would need an absolute dry habitable zone, and then there must not have oxygen on that planet, and then the advantage of those creatures is more complicated than the advantage of the human race. But then the same way would act the body of the methane-based creatures. The methane is a similar medium, what water is, but the problem with methane gas is that it is highly inflammable.
So if the methane-based alien would come on Earth, there is one thing, what that creature cannot stand and it's the fire. If the clouds of Earth would be methane, and we would flight throw them by using aircraft, that thing causes a huge explosion. And that makes very difficult to make fire, and the temperature of liquid methane is so low, that there is possible, that the creatures would not able to advance even if they would be intelligent. The Helium 3 based lifeforms would be so exotic, that we cannot even think, what kind of creatures they would be.
The thing is that those creatures need a very low temperature for living, and they cannot exist on the planet, what temperature is far above zero kelvin or absolute zero-point. That kind of creature could be very intelligent because their brains would work in the superconducting mode, but otherwise, they would have extreme low metabolism. Those Helium 3 based creatures would look like some kind of drops, what can look like a neuron, but this is the only hypothesis.
The SETI(Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence)-project is researching the possibility, that there would be some kind of extraterrestrial intelligence. But when we are thinking possibility, that the extraterrestrial civilization could create spacecraft and radio telescopes, there is the problem that civilization would need tools to create technology, and as many times before Rome was not built in a day, and civilization would not be ready in a year. The advantage of the human race has been long, and there are many generations between the first wheel and space rocket.
Civilizations are ever ready, and that means that they are changing their models all the time. There is a possibility, that other civilizations would help some other species for advancing, but the thing is that this kind of idea would be space colonialism. The thing would be similar, what we have seen in Africa. That means that the aliens would offer help to some elitists, and then those elitists would start to act as some partage owners made in Africa, and this is one point of view when we are making SETI-research.
