Falling Forward : The Fermi paradox, supermassive black holes, and the likely flight of extraterrestrial intelligence toward extreme time dilation.
Keyword(s):
It is argued that an advanced extraterrestrial intelligence has an overwhelming incentive to permanently occupy a reference frame where time is greatly slowed by relativistic effects. We then give the case that a near orbit around an SMBH provides a viable - and perhaps only - possibility for such a migration. The expected character of radio emissions from such a civilization is discussed and a method is proposed for possible detection.
