Life could take the form and shape of anything. It doesn't need to be carbon based. Life could take the form of electrical impulses, maybe it resembles metal, or it life could take the shape of boulders. Although life may not be human elsewhere if there is other life in space there is a good chance there are many life forms and some of those may take biological forms like us humans. Or at least have similar systems. That’s true Arvind. Life could take the form and shape of anything. It doesn’t need to be carbon based.

Thus , the same (super) consciousness might reveal itself in any other form in some part of the expansive universe . We cannot narrow that same human or likewise will have to be detected . It could just be another form . And we might need a 7th sense to detect that ! Life on Earth can be considered a freak event of consciousness manifesting itself beyond natural surroundings .

I think that with the upcoming "Giant Magellan Telescope" and the other very large and extremely large telescopes planned (as they are called), we will be able to better detect these signatures. The GMT is already being built and should be done by 2016. I forgot the exact number but the telescope should have the equivilant to a 20-24m mirror to collect light. That's incredible. I think this telescope combined with the TPF will give us our real first hints at a possible earth-life planet's atmosphere. Good post.
