Suppose we humans start living in computers, and then we sent computers into 
space containing us...

Maybe back in time... then we encounter those computers.

Without actually having seen a computer we would think it was a dead piece 
of metal.

While in reality there was "life" inside the computer.

Therefore when we explore the universe we should be carefull before we say 
that something is dead...

It might appear to be dead... but there could be a whole information system 
going on inside of it ! ;)

(Life is probably mostly about "loops/circles" be it physically or in an 
information system ;))
