Mr. Tegmark, First of all, it's wonderful to have a chance to speak with you! I absolutely loved your "Our Mathematical Universe" book. I'm a Mechanical Engineer student who loves physics.

I'm very conviced about alien life in space. There is billions of planets that could contain life, and the statistics says it must be life somewhere other than Earth. But intelligent life? How we became intelligent in first place? Why evolution needed to improve human mind more than any other spieces? Most of animals can communicate with voices, it's not special for only humankind but, we're the only ones that note it down and transfer information to our grandkids so much faster than genetic methods of learning in evolution. We have aesthetic values, we love, we think our place in cosmos, we think the main purpose of life, we have a huge passion to learn more things. Maybe we are the exeption. Or maybe the other intelligent species have so much more different methods of live, communicate and store information than us and we cannot observe them yet. Do you think humankind is a major player in cosmos, or we're just as important as bacterias living right now on my keyboard?
