That is not dead which can eternal lie: The aestivation hypothesis for resolving Fermi's paradox

If a civilization wants to maximize computation it appears rational to aestivate until the far future in order to exploit the low temperature environment: This can produce a 10∗° multiplier of achievable computation. We hence suggest the "aestivation hypothesis": The reason we are not obse...
