What a stupid article.
Do heavier books contain more important information?
Bwahahaha!

They must rely on the same “mathematical models” that climate “scientists” do.

Yeah, but a lean, mean fightin’ machine at 650 lbs would be something to be avoided.

“The argument relies on a mathematical model that assumes organisms on other planets obey the same laws of conservation of energy that we see here on Earth...”
May be where a lot of our pontifications on things go wrong.

Pretty lame article. (not inferring lameness on you PROCON).
The Blue Whale weighs 181 metric tons. To an intelligent being in the Andromeda Galaxy, that’s a big alien, “here”. And what defines “intelligence”? Whales communicate with each other, is that enough? Elephants have long memories as do crow’s (its said crows can remember our facial features); two very different sized mammals.
I think there is intelligent life “out there”; but I doubt it is hulking and huge as it would be counter productive (see the people at walmart with thyroid problems, think they are going to build anything worthwhile anytime soon? Or just look at Michael Moore, proof positive of my assertion).

“Thus, throughout the universe, as is the case on Earth, there are likely more small animals than large ones, says Simpson, a scientist at the University of Barcelona. Since the number of planets inhabited by relatively small animals would outnumber the amount of worlds where large ones predominate, it is most likely that we find ourselves on a planet with relatively small animalsand are ourselves probably one of the smaller intelligent beings, he adds.”
It would be hard to find a better example of dumb than this.
