Dr. Charles Dutton: Quote for October 17, 2008

I'm glad you're amused gentlemen, but it might just turn out to be true. During this symposium we'll discuss the possibility that intelligent life on a distant planet may be no larger than a flea, perhaps no larger than a bacterium.
David Wayne acted as Dr. Charles Dutton
There is more computing power in today's cell phones than there was in computers of the 50's that occupied entire buildings. As computers got smaller, they became more efficient.

What if on other planets, evolution adopted the same principle. As the organism got smarter and more efficient it got smaller. It is not out of the realm of possibility, that intelligent beings on other worlds could be significantly smaller than us, even as small as our fleas or bacteria.
