Here be Dragons. Painting - Limited Edition of 100

… in Latin: hic sunt dracones was an expression that marked dangerous or unexplored territories on a medieval map. This painting suggests that some of our drones for space exploration may stumble upon some real ones. But those thoughts might be worries for people who live in a couple of centuries. Up to now, we thought that all intelligent alien life forms should be carbon-based organisms who evolved under similar ecological conditions. This was narrow-minded thinking since human civilization is making progress towards the creation of a silicon-based intelligence. In the wake of Sidis’ hypothesis concerning the existence of intelligent life inside a star, astrologists hypothesized that such intelligence could exist. Rather than relying on pure nuclear interactions to play the role of DNA, scientists propose cosmic strings and magnetic monopoles. Cosmic strings are hypothetical fissures that might have formed when the early universe underwent a phase transition during the creation of matter. Magnetic monopoles are particles that have only one magnetic pole (north or south) rather than all known magnetic particles that have both. While there is no evidence that either of these exists, theoretical work suggests they might. It's all very speculative and mostly unprovable. However, scientists propose that if such life does arise in the core of a star, it would need to consume some of the core's energy to survive. As a result, their star might cool faster than predicted by stellar models. After which they would need another star.
