According to new research by Professor Alex Ellery of Carleton University, self-replicating probes may have already visited the Solar System, and some could be operating here right now.
That's actually an old idea which Professor Ellery just fleshed out a bit. They are commonly called Von Neuman Probes after the physicist John Von Neuman who was the first to suggest self-replicating machines. The Monolith in the 2001/2010 movies is a Von Neuman probe. They are thought to be the most likely way an alien intelligence would explore the galaxy.
I love his idea of them building O'Neil cylinders, just waiting for us to move into! I think that part is a bit of wishful thinking, lol.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
