We argue that a science that is fundamentally different from ours must be based on domains of knowledge other than physics. The reason is that any physics-based science would be for all purposes identical to ours. This leaves us with two alternatives: a science that is grounded on biology and a science that is grounded on a theory of mind. The first case contradicts our current knowledge, but the second one does not. Hence, a science built upon a theory of mind, that is not reducible to physics, is our best bet for an advanced science that is radically different from ours.
