- Аннотация: SETI has much more implications than just search for extraterrestrial intelligence. This is the issue of ourselves, on what we are and if we are able to understand the Universe. Comparing the age of the Universe, some 15 Gyrs, with the time scale of the exponential growth of our science and technology, some 100 years, the greatest paradox of the contemporary Knowledge arises - this is just the absence of any evidence of activity of superpower civilizations. This was interpreted by Shklovsky (1984) as prove of our loneliness owing to the death of a civilization after the development of both science and military technology. Implicitly, only for this case of our solicitude in the Universe, all variations of anthropic principle were considered until now. This concerns the idea (Harrison 1995) that there is the natural selection of universes containing the intelligent life the clever enough to produce the universe of the next generation. The possibility of non-biological ETI opens other ways, however.
