Such questions force us to consider not only the physics of the universe, but the possibility that non-human intelligence\u2014whether biological or artificial\u2014could exist far beyond Earth, or perhaps also closer to home.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"105\" data-end=\"701\">This week on\u00a0<em>The Micah Hanks Program<\/em>, we look at some of the greatest modern mysteries of the cosmos, as well as the question of whether there is life elsewhere in the universe. If so, could it have already created its own artificial intelligence, and might such alien AI have evolved to superintelligent levels, and could some phenomena we observe today, such as UAP, be linked to such entities?<\/p>\n<p><em><b>Have you had a UFO\/UAP sighting?<\/b><\/em> Please consider <a href=\"https:\/\/uapsightings.org\/\"><strong>reporting your sighting<\/strong><\/a> to the UAP Sightings Reporting System, a public resource for information about sightings of aerial phenomena.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The story doesn&#8217;t end here&#8230;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/micahhanks.com\/x\">become an X Subscriber<\/a>\u00a0and get access to even more weekly content and monthly specials.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Want to advertise\/sponsor\u00a0<em>The Micah Hanks Program<\/em>?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We have partnered with the <b>AdvertiseCast <\/b>to handle our advertising\/sponsorship requests.
