By universe I mean any visual spectrum we will ever be able to see. If you understand that
The ELM is open ended, we don't know what lies beyond what we have detected. My guess is its infinite, both ways.

Im saying like using technology to see life we shouldn't be able to. Basic example using different light or a microscope and observing how those universe react. a reply to: intrptr

Yes, but to the end of the spectrum it gets more and more dangerous for cellular life, regardless of the elements it might be based on.
We could be, it's a valid question. But then again what is intelligence? I have seen Chimps who did a numerical task on a computer so fast that no human could match them. Our problem as humans is that we measure intelligence against ourselves. Which is pretty stupid. It's like Grasshoppers condemning every other being that can't jump 20 times their own hight, or Bats laughing their wings off because we can't see at all in the dark. I have met many highly intelligent non human persons [animals] whose only 'crime' was that they were not human enough or didn't do enough human things. With that in mind I can tell you that the question 'could' we be the most intelligent species in the Universe? can be safely answered with 'No way Pedro!' Not with that attitude.
Intelligence to our society seems to indicate levels of comprehension. How does emotion factor in? Understanding of language and concepts? Quantity of such understandings vs ...quality of those understandings?
