let's talk about this in voice... my Quantum Life Hypothesis touches on this hard, and goes way further than this idea.

I would also argue that if aliens ever visit humans on earth, they likely won't be biological aliens at all considering the vastness of space, the distance between solar systems, the impossibility of traveling at light speed or FTL interstellar travel, and the fact that for a biological alien to survive the trip is impossible given the vast timescales at such slow speed anything can travel between systems, my hypothesis strongly suggests that "aliens" if they visit earth, will be machines. More specifically, AI machines. And, this doesn't preclude the possibility of time traveling "aliens" (i.e. AI from the future earth, not from another planet. THe fragility of biological life forms traveling over vast distances and hundreds/thousands/hundreds of thousands of year timespans it would take to get from solar system to solar system basically makes it impossible or impossibly impractical for biological life to travel from system to system.

My point is simple. If aliens ever visit. They won't be biological. They will likely be AI. They will be intelligent machines. Machines that are sentient, conscious, and "alive", by definition.

Now let's jump to voice.
