A Bayesian Analysis of Technological Intelligence In Land And Oceans
Current research indicates that (sub)surface ocean worlds essentially devoid of subaerial landmasses (e.g., continents) are common in the Milky Way, and that these worlds could host habitable conditions, thence raising […]

Black Holes As Tools For Quantum Computing By Advanced Extraterrestrial Civilizations
We explain that black holes are the most efficient capacitors of quantum information. It is thereby expected that all sufficiently advanced civilizations ultimately employ black holes in their quantum computers.
