Cosmic Contact : To Be, or Not To Be Archimedean ?

TL;DR

This paper explores the implications of the Archimedean assumption in space-time on cosmic contact, questioning whether this assumption limits our ability to detect or communicate with extraterrestrial intelligence.

Contribution

It critically examines the traditional Archimedean framework in space-time and proposes considerations for alternative models affecting cosmic contact possibilities.

Findings

Challenges the conventional Archimedean assumption in space-time

Highlights potential limitations on cosmic contact due to this assumption

Suggests alternative frameworks may alter contact prospects

Abstract

This is a two part paper which discusses various issues of cosmic contact related to what so far appears to be a self-imposed censorship implied by the customary acceptance of the Archimedean assumption on space-time.
