A digital alien who has been sleeping hundreds of billions of years.I can't meet you.
Do you know the famous Fermi paradox?It is pointed out that it is inconsistent that such a vast universe should have other intellectual life besides humanity, but never encountered aliens.I can't meet even though I should be.There have been many hypotheses for paradox so far.From the theory that there is no alien in the first place, there are various things, such as existing but different times, or already on earth.And a new hypothesis was also published in the paper.It is an alien dormant theory.
According to a new study published in Journal of the British Interplanetary Society, aliens have been digitized after progress, and the current temperature of the universe is too high to maintain the digitized civilization, so it is colder.He is in a dormant state until the future.Digitized aliens are really out of the way, and the temperature of the universe is too high....。But this is a serious research result.
Is alien already having a body?
First of all, the theory that aliens will be digitized, but in fact, the number of future scholars, space biologists, and experts in extraterrestrial intellectual life forms are increasing.The intellectual creatures that have evolved highly will eventually digitize.It may be very close to the doctor Johnny Depp in the 2014 movie "Transcendence" depicting singularity, uploading his consciousness to a computer and artificial intelligence.To put it simply, it means that the brain is converted into data, the body is abandoned, and it enters the computer world.In other words, aliens already have no body and exist as data in computer chips.It's great.
If you become digital, you will not be sick, you will not be sick, you will not be old, you can copy all -you -can -copy, eternal life, but the information according to Dr. Milan ć IRKOVIć according to Anders Sandberg, Stuart Armstrong, Milan ć IRKOVIć.It seems to be costly to process.Cooling is required to perform very high information processing.You can see how important cooling is to cool the motherboard using liquid nitrogen to perform overclocking.In other words, the colder the colder, the higher the information processing ability.Dr. Sandberg suggests that if there is a highly digitized civilization, it may continue to wait until the universe gets colder to avoid wasted energy waste.It was.
The current cosmic background radiation temperature is about 3 kerubin higher than absolute zero degrees..It is considered to be 15 ° C.After all, the universe tends to be cold enough, but it is still too hot for digitized aliens civilization.If you wait for several billions of years, researchers will be as close as possible to the absolute zero degree due to the expansion of the universe and the extinction of many stars, and the information processing speed will be 10 -over -efficient compared to the present.We are calculating.But it is several billion years later...。
Dr. Sandberg is your blog
高度な文明はもうすでに全宇宙を探索し、実世界でできることはすべて終え、今は内向的な｢文化｣を形成しているかもしれません。それは情報処理の分野でしょう。もしデータ化した宇宙人が最大限の情報処理を行ないたければ、今は行なわず、もっと寒くなる遠い未来まで待ったほうがいいのです。それまで休眠状態で待つべきなんですIt is explained.
How to meet digital aliens
If this hypothesis is correct, it means that although the outer altitude civilization once existed, most of the universe had already been searched and in a lodging state that can not be encountered now.Then human beings will not be able to find extraterrestrial life forms.However, Dr. Sandberg says that there is a way to discover even if it is a dormant outside civilization.
One way is to find a place where the astronomical physical phenomenon has been lost.For example, various astronomical physical phenomena such as stars that have changed from mass to energy, stars sucking into black holes, galaxies blowing off gas, collision between galaxies, and separation of galaxies can be observed in outer space.However, if those phenomena are hindered by some process, they may be involved in the altitude global civilization.
Another method is dangerous, but it is a way to threaten dormant civilization."If you launch a large amount of self -healing space spacecraft and proceed with space development, a robot that protects the civilization during dormant will appear and hinder the activity of the spacecraft," said Dr. Sandberg.。However, I think neither methods are limited to aliens who are dormant....。
honto ...?
This alien dormant theory may certainly be one answer to Fermi's Paradox.I can't encounter because I'm dormant.It makes sense.However, SF writer David Brin, a astronomical physicist and an expert in extraterrestrial identifier exploration, pointed out that there are some drawbacks, despite the interesting thing.
First of all, just because you can do efficient information processing in a colder environment, it is not necessary to make everything dormant.You should be waiting while working with energy saving.
In response to this point, Dr. Sandberg said, "Using resources now means that future resources will decrease. For example, when you only have a limited amount of money, you buy as many cakes as possible.Let's say that you have to do it. If you know that the cake will be cheaper after Christmas, you should wait until the cake is the cheapest. "I feel that it is completely different from putting up with cakes and suspension of life activities, but it should be dormant now to make the most of the resources.
David Bulin also pointed out the dangers of dormant."If you like data and neglect the real world, you will see pain in the real world while sleeping in the computer world," he said, and other aliens attacked the civilization of dormant state.The catastrophe may be caused.
This theory is full of various things.In fact, it seems that Dr. Sandberg himself did not believe this theory.Then, it means that you announced it, but the important thing is that the important thing is to explore the possibilities as much as possible, "If you do not verify the hypothesis because you do not like it, it is no longer science."I'm talking.In addition, the dormant theory adds that hundreds of millions of years later we are the potential for our humanity.
Dr. Sandberg tells Gizmodo as follows.
我々人類は結局孤独であり、宇宙の未来を背負っているのかもしれない。はたまた技術の進歩には限界があり、知的生命体は絶滅する運命にあるのかもしれない。実はもうすでに宇宙人は地球にやってきているのかもしれない。ただフェルミのパラドックスの答えが何であるにせよ、衝撃的であるには違いないし、その答えがわかるのはまだまだ先のことだろうThe theory that aliens are digitized and dormant is probably new, and it will soon become the subject of science fiction movies, but what about it?I can't imagine at all.If it is data, it can be sent to the earth.It would be interesting if an alien was attached by email.
