salyavin, I love your very last question. It makes me think about this in ways
I haven't before. Of course I'm also remembering a bit of what you've posted
about how life evolved here almost accidentally.

John and salyavin, thanks, I enjoyed both these articles and thoroughly
appreciate the concluding remarks:So, how do weprepare for something we know so
little about? We do so "by continuingto do good science, but also by realizing
that science is notmetaphysically neutral," concluded the conference host
Steven Dick.He added: "We prepare by continuing to question our assumptions

and intelligence."
All I know is, I'll die happy if we discovery intelligent life elsewhere in the
universe.
If something comes to visit us, even better! What form it will take is a
mystery, if they're at our level of knowledge about how the universe works
they'll come in person. If they are more advanced they might turn up as robots
with their DNA (or fundamentally equivalent) stored somewhere and then they'll
convert any matter they find into themselves. It all must be possible because
we are made out of bits of the universe so there aint no reason why something
with advanced knowledge can't transmute other bits, or even empty space, into
whatever they like.
But the fact that's possible and we can't see any evidence of the sort of
things they could build might mean we are on our own or that nobody ever gets
further than us. Not round these parts anyway. Or it it might be something even
stranger that turns up and freaks us out. It's all a mystery but given how many
hoops we had to jump through on this planet to get how we are, can life like us
be common?

A SETI scientist states that this may be the most dominant intelligence in the

their assessment about the capabilities of biological entities like human
beings. It may be possible to communicate with ETs instantaneously with the
human mind through mental telepathy
I imagine there's a pretty good reason they don't consider things like that at
scientific conferences. The fact that humans can't do telepathy is probably
chief among them.
This can be justified through the principle of quantum entanglement.
Not quite as simple as that, but I'll bet anything it won't be used
telepathically, communicating with entanglement would require very
sophisticated equipment, you've got to separate and remove fundamental
particles and move them about. It's a big job and I'm pretty sure that you need
to have both particles in the same place to start with to know whether they are
actually entangled or not.
Trouble is, no one really knows what is happening during entanglement
experiments. Can subatomic particles communicate faster than light - thus
destroying our realist concept of space - or is there something we don't know
about how they work? Perhaps the state of the particle pairs is determined
before they are separated by some deeper principle we don't yet undertsand.
If they can communicate faster than light than then how do we know from our
perspective which event causes the other? Or is time an emergent phenomena that
doesn't apply to the subatomic world? Etc etc. Very interesting subject though
whatever it's practical uses end turn out to be.
One thing is for sure if we could use it to communicate with aliens we can use
it to communicate on Earth. Hopefully we can do that before my laptop wears out
and I have to fork out for a new one...
