Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

So we will learn something about this.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

So the bias is right there.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

The nature of life is different.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

If really life is the best way the universe has to fight entropy, there is no bias there because physics is the same all across the universe.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

At least the universe we know, there might be other universes, but the one we know works with the same physics.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

We have another problem.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

We don't know what life is.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

We don't know what intelligence is, and we don't know what consciousness is, but we are trying to tackle the big question.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

No.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

I think that we have to be honest, and as a scientist, and I'm going to step back and talk about intelligence.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

For me, a bacteria that has survived, like cyanobacteria,

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

that has survived just like us, four billion years in one incarnation or another, and actually they are very similar to the one that they were 3.5 billion years ago, it has some intelligence about its environment.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

So for complexity, it might be

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

that we need to take the world literally, which is an assemblage or additional capacity to gather, collect, store information.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

Maybe this is something like that, or actually use that information to do something with it.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

But I do completely agree with you when you talk about flavor of ice cream.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

I think this is exactly it.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

And

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

I have a basic education about what physics is doing right now.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#348 โ€“ Nathalie Cabrol: Search for Alien Life

And I'm looking at quantum physics and what it says about the universe and about the connection about an atom here and an atom here, a photon here and a photon there.
