What means superior, when we are talking about biological creatures?
The thing is that even some creature would not self operate on the surface of some planet, it can operate in extreme hostile areas by using remote-controlled systems. We must understand that humans use remote-controlled robots on the surface of Mars, and also underwater areas can research by using remote-controlled submarines and other underwater robots. Also on the battlefields are starting to operate the more or less independent operating robots.
What kind of alien could be superior to humans? That is the question, what we must think before we can give any kind of answers for the form of hypothetical aliens. The key question is, what we mean superior in that case.
Are we mean the muscles or some other physical strength, or simply the creature, what is more, intelligent than we are. So when we are starting to think that question, we must realize that human brains are very effective, and if we are thinking about aliens, their brains must work more effectively, if they are more intelligent than we are.
So there is one thing, that might make almost every creature more intelligent than humans are, and that is the superconducting brains. This means that the alien would be creature, what lives on the planet, where the temperature would be extremely low, and the alien itself would be the Helium 3 based life form, which would have an extremely slow metabolism.
And that would mean, that the creature would be otherwise extremely slow. Even traveling about meter would take even years for that alien. But its nervous system would be extremely effective. Those creatures could live only in the planets, which is extremely cold. Those super neural systems would work only in the superconducting conditions.
The other one would be the alien, which has just more neurons than humans. If we would increase the number of neurons in the brains, we would face the thing that the head would become heavy, and that's why those creatures must live in the artificial worlds, or in space stations, where the weak gravity allows this kind of advantage of skull and brains.
That kind of big-head alien would be the race, what has advanced in the space colonies, where the gravity is extremely low. They could be the post-planetary civilization, and when their home planet has been destroyed, those hypothetical aliens would move to space, and start to live in giant spacecraft.
If we think that kind of cases of evolution, the changes in the genomes or genetic material happen slowly, and it takes generations, that this causes visible changes for a look of the body of an alien. But in the case, that the entire civilization would start to travel in the space for looking at the new planets, the time has no mean. Evolution has time in that kind of situation, and if the entire civilization travels in space, that means that the travel can make by using slow spaceships, what can travel in the speed, what the only couple of percent of the speed of the light.
And those spacecraft can form artificial gravity by using the rotation movement. Travel to other solar systems takes thousands of years, and then at that time, evolution can cause transformations for the structures of genomes. In the low gravity field, the weak muscles can support the head, and the limit of that alien would be that it needs a weak gravity field for surviving. If that creature would land on some planets, it would be crushed because of gravity. That kind of thing would live only in some big artificial world.
