Hede.io Entry: Alien Technology
Alien technology is any example of technology that was produced outside of Earth by an alien lifeform. Such technology may be manufactured with materials not found on Earth or from elements already known on the periodic table of elements
.
The term "extraterrestrial technology
" may be used to distinguish technology designed with the purpose of being used specifically by humanoid lifeforms
from other types of alien technology.
Alien technology may seem to violate what humans consider fundamental laws of physics
such as the conservation of energy
or the speed of light
. Alien technology may also be technology humans are aware of but have not achieved such as room-temperature superconductivity
.
Examples of alien technology may include but are not limited to:
Gravity shield
Free energy device
Ansible device
Inertialess drive
One proposal to classify different types of alien technology is the Kardashev scale
which rates an alien civilization
by how much energy
the civilization can harness.
