    This has led to discussions about whether water is the only liquid capable of filling that role. The idea that an extraterrestrial life-form might be based on a solvent other than water has been taken seriously in recent scientific literature by the biochemist Steven Benner, [40] and by the astrobiological committee chaired by John A. Baross. [41]

  8. Dark forest hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_forest_hypothesis

    The "dark forest" hypothesis presumes that any space-faring civilization would view any other intelligent life as an inevitable threat and thus destroy any nascent life that makes itself known. As a result, the electromagnetic spectrum would be relatively quiet, without evidence of any intelligent alien life. [8] [9]
