The Possibility of Synthetic Life in Other Planets
10:22 - 21:53 (11:31)
The existence of other alien civilizations with the potential of having something like consciousness is not impossible. Creating synthetic life forms that can exist in other planets might be achievable with the help of AI and 3D printing.

Summary
Astronomers have discovered that half the sun-like stars from the Kepler satellite data have a planet similar to Earth, making it extremely possible that there is extraterrestrial life. With billions of galaxies in the observable volume of the universe, it would be arrogant to believe that ours is the only planet containing sentient life.

Summary
The existence of consciousness may be universal to other alien civilizations, but humanity's ability to develop technology and change our environment sets us apart in our search for extraterrestrial life. It's possible that short-lived intelligent creatures, like humans, could have a larger impact on their environment than long-lived creatures such as crocodiles on other planets.

Summary
Using the DNA and genetic information of animals stored in a computer system with AI and a 3D printer, it would be possible to produce synthetic life on another planet, without physically transporting living organisms. This could be a solution after self-inflicted wounds, like nuclear war, climate change, or asteroid impacts.
