不死之物可以永恒地躺在那里:解决费米悖论的夏眠假说

That is not dead which can eternal lie: the aestivation hypothesis for resolving Fermi's paradox

Anders Sandberg, Stuart Armstrong, Milan M. Cirkovic

摘要:

如果一个文明想要最大限度地提高计算能力,那么为了利用低温环境,在遥远的未来进行夏眠似乎是合理的:这可以产生一个可实现计算的$10^{30}$乘数。因此,我们提出“夏眠假说”:我们没有观察到外星文明的表现的原因是,他们目前(大部分)不活跃,耐心地等待未来的宇宙时代。本文分析了进入假说的假设,以及物理定律和观测证据如何约束与假说相容的外星人的动机。

英文摘要:

If a civilization wants to maximize computation it appears rational to aestivate until the far future in order to exploit the low temperature environment: this can produce a $10^{30}$ multiplier of achievable computation. We hence suggest the "aestivation hypothesis": the reason we are not observing manifestations of alien civilizations is that they are currently (mostly) inactive, patiently waiting for future cosmic eras. This paper analyzes the assumptions going into the hypothesis and how physical law and observational evidence constrain the motivations of aliens compatible with the hypothesis.
