Due to restrictions on HN's title length, I had to botch the article title, I am sorry for that. The actual title is:
Advancing Space Technology and Preparing for Contact with Extraterrestrial Intelligence through Multilateralism
Basically, the article says that we can be viewed as a dangerous species by other interstellar species, and therefore contained in a "Solar system zoo".
- Gooblebrai 2y agoSounds like the Three Body Problem book saga
- JPLeRouzic 2y agoYes but with a reverse perspective, in "Three body problem" the villains are the aliens, and here it's us. Or it's a question of point of view, after all, Trisolaris sees us as "bugs" in the novel. I grant this "zoo hypothesis" is old, with many variations like those of Charles Ford or 1939' "Sinister Barrier" of Eric Frank Russel: This book frightens me every time I re-read it! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinister_Barrier https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinister_Barrier
