Stephen Hawking’s Warning on Contacting Aliens: A Physics Perspective on the Intelligence Trap [PDF]
The search for extraterrestrial intelligence is a fascinating and important endeavor, but it raises significant ethical and safety concerns. In the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, scientists use knowledge of physics to identify potential ...

Marine Science Can Contribute to the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Life [PDF]
Life on our planet likely evolved in the ocean, and thus exo-oceans are key habitats to search for extraterrestrial life. We conducted a data-driven bibliographic survey on the astrobiology literature to identify emerging research trends with marine ...

Prospects of SETI by small size optical telescopes [PDF]
In the present manuscript we consider the possibility of conducting SETI with small-size (with diameters less than 1 m) optical telescopes. Calculations are performed for typical parameters of the mentioned type of telescopes. In particular, we show that

Adaptationism fails to resolve Fermi's paradox [PDF]
One of the most interesting problems in the nascent discipline of astrobiology is more than half-century old Fermi's paradox: why, considering extraordinary young age of Earth and the Solar System in the Galactic context, don't we perceive much older ...

Polarization Criterion in Targeted SETI Observation
In this paper, we propose a novel method for distinguishing extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI) signals from radio frequency interference (RFI) by leveraging polarization features.

A note on the Vukotić-Gordon mini-earths [PDF]
A recent proposal for a new kind of astroengineering artifact due to Vukotić and Gordon (2022) is discussed, in particular in light of multiple benefits offered by the magnetic Penrose process.
