New Theory Developed Based on Sleeping Aliens

The world’s first nuclear reactor was built by a man named Enrico Fermi. One day in 1950, during an everyday conversation he asked that very same question that years of research and hard work has been put in trying to answer: “Where is everybody?” Which also leads to another very important question: “If the universe is large enough to have more than sufficient opportunity to create more life than what we see on Earth, why haven’t we met that alien life yet?”  It’s also the foundation of the Fermi Paradox.


Oxford neuroscientist Anders Sandberg and Milan Cirkovic, who’s part of the Astronomical Observatory of Belgrade, got together with AI expert Stuart Armstrong to author a new paper on the basis of alien life and its hibernation methods. In it, they discuss how aliens are hibernating until a time where the universe is cool enough for them to develop faster.  It’s called the “aestivation hypothesis” and rests on the premise that machines compute faster in cooler conditions and that advanced societies have transitioned to machine-based life.

As explained on Sandberg and Cirkovic’s blog, “as the Universe expands, this background temperature will decline exponentially and in principle, running processing becomes 10 times more efficient if your computer is 10 times colder (measured in Kelvins).” This is the reason why they believe aliens are hibernating as they are waiting for a cooler universe.  But, that’s not the only theory out there. Other solutions to the Fermi Paradox generally fall into the three categories. The first is that there is no alien life, and we are in fact, alone. This may be because aliens are now extinct, or could be that they never developed in the first place.

The second is that aliens are real, they just don’t exist here because of our limited technology, communication methods, or our comprehension. And the last is that aliens are real and they are here, they’re just not interacting with us in a way that’s obvious. But, whatever you believe, or whatever turns out to be the truth, I guess the next thing we need to consider is, “What do we do if/when we do finally meet them?”
