This must be true. I am believing this ever since i fell down the octopus rabbit hole one night.
I then googled „are octopus aliens“ to see what comes up.
And a few „theories“ about that did.
Obviously not scientific (until now, haven‘t even read the article yet of course)…
But who cares?
If there is a god, it must be a god to the universe. He might have sent the high intelligent super developed octopi onto the earth as a punishment for fucking up their planet, forcing them into funny bodies and a short life span.
And all they can observe and have to think about is how these humans use all their power to pray to people who make loud and funny sounds like justin bieber.
Who knows, we might be banned into other funny bodies on another planet, if we fuck up this planet.
Well now, i will go and actually read the article.

It's still not either scientific or science, any more so than anything you've written. It's just conjecture. There is no new evidence in the paper. It is as "scientific" as a plausible sci-fi story.
> If there is a god, it must be a god to the universe.
Why would you assume this? Why does a god need to be an omnipotent controller of the entire universe?
For the vast majority of human history, most humans were polytheistic (and, like Hindus, they still are) or henotheistic. Monotheism and an omnipotent "one true God" are pretty new concepts.
So many fields are masquerading as science and the word is also hijacked by politicians to justify the worse abuses of power that it would be great if real science forks itself from that and come back to its roots.
To be more scientific, they should at least try to freeze some fertilized cephalopod eggs and see if they can replicate the required state of "stasis" needed to survive in space.
My guess is they can't. The eggs will die as soon as they are frozen.
And more so than that, the issue is that cephalopods are clearly related by every measure we can find (morphology, DNA) to other mollusks like slugs and clams. And are even (although far more distantly) related to us. So it is a bit hard to imagine how this could be the case if they didn't all have a common ancestor here on Earth.
Heh, sort of relates to this amateur NaNoWriMo from 2020. [1]
Not a scientifically interesting paper, from the looks of it, but I'm amused by personal coincidence here.
