Abstract
At one spectrum extreme, Astrobiology conjectures that for exoplanets with Goldilocks conditions, terrestrial-like life is inevitable. Moreover, it is envisaged that via panspermia, terrestrial-like life and its precursors are transferred among galaxies, stars, and within solar systems via transiting comets, asteroids, and planetoids. In addition, expelled stars, which have solar systems, it is inferred, transfer life as well. However, at the other extreme, we propose a paradigm shift that on some planets, subject to non- Goldilocks conditions, metal machine life could arise, ab initio, and evolve viruses, intelligence, and civilizations, conjointly. Accordingly, intelligent mechanized civilizations could readily and efficiently commence space exploration. Furthermore, as a counter paradigm shift, such civilizations could experiment and produce non-metallic life, based on carbon and other non-metal elements, under suitable conditions, related to Goldilocks life. Even a single example of validated interstellar or intergalactic communication received on the Earth would support the existence of life elsewhere. However, the communication platform should not be restricted to electromagnetic radiation. Other platforms should be included as well - one such example, which would require sophisticated technology, is neutrino communication. This is the case for any advanced civilization, be it metal-machine based, biological-based, and carbon-based. In sum, civilizations based on machine life, would be highly productive due to the longevity and hardiness of machine life. However, significant caveats are raised in this brief report, because possibly dissimilar psychologies and intelligence may lead to conflicts between metal machine life and biological life, inter-paradigm conflict.

Summary
We propose an opposing hypothesis as to the origin of life on some exoplanets, ab initio, and its potential spread. Machines could originate life on planets by placing basic primitive organisms (precursor-like life, stem cells) that have evolutionary potential They could accomplish these experiments under various conditions of planets, including Goldilocks conditions, as well as environments that 20th Century Astrobiology considers extreme and adverse. Darwinian selection probably operates to differing degrees at various levels, from molecular dynamics to genotype, phenotype, and biological dynamics It would be no less remarkable, by as yet additional unknown mechanisms, as to how metal molecule-based life may arise and evolve. An unanticipated outcome of neutrino flavor oscillations includes its impact on extraterrestrial intelligence detection This is because machine or other types of intelligence would be capable of evolving towards such capabilities. There is extensive debate as to whether entanglement exists; entanglements have been accomplished in several
