One explanation for the Fermi Paradox is that aliens may be undetected because they slumber, quietly hidden away in the galaxy. But how and why might such Extraterrestrial Empires hibernate?

冬眠是自然界中非常神奇的生理现象之一。在寒冷的冬季，冬眠动物能够将体温降至接近冰点，心跳和呼吸几乎停止，进入一种类似“假死”的状态。它们会依靠脂肪储备度过漫长的食物匮乏期。更奇特的是，当它们从冬眠中苏醒时，能够完全逆转冬眠时类似2型糖尿病、阿尔茨海默 ...
