Fascinating article above, discussing the logical (i.e. hypothetical) presence of life and intelligence inside stars.
We are of course blinded by our own intimate familiarity with a form of life that we ourselves take for granted as normative or necessary and definitive. The possibilities presented here also raise the question of what if it is in fact our form of life that is the exception, the outlier and the true rarity in a Cosmic zoo of autonomously self-replicating information and energy-patterns, computation and intelligence?
