This must be true. I am believing this ever since i fell down the octopus rabbit hole one night.
I then googled „are octopus aliens“ to see what comes up.
And a few „theories“ about that did.<p>Obviously not scientific (until now, haven‘t even read the article yet of course)…
But who cares?<p>If there is a god, it must be a god to the universe. He might have sent the high intelligent super developed octopi onto the earth as a punishment for fucking up their planet, forcing them into funny bodies and a short life span.<p>And all they can observe and have to think about is how these humans use all their power to pray to people who make loud and funny sounds like justin bieber.<p>Who knows, we might be banned into other funny bodies on another planet, if we fuck up this planet.<p>Well now, i will go and actually read the article.
Conjecture without supporting evidence.<p>To be more scientific, they should at least try to freeze some fertilized cephalopod eggs and see if they can replicate the required state of "stasis" needed to survive in space.<p>My guess is they can't. The eggs will die as soon as they are frozen.
Heh, sort of relates to this amateur NaNoWriMo from 2020. [1]
Not a scientifically interesting paper, from the looks of it, but I'm amused by personal coincidence here.<p>[1] <a href="https://zalbert.net/octo" rel="nofollow">https://zalbert.net/octo</a>
