Fermi Paradox – what is it?

[edit | edit source]

Here's what you need to know...

  • The Fermi Paradox isn't strict evidence for alien life – but more of a thought experiment
  • It's a famous contradiction posed by physicist Enrico Fermi
  • Fermi suggested that the enormous size of the universe – and the billions of Sun-like stars in the galaxy, and their planets – makes it highly likely that there is intelligent life out there
  • Some of these civilizations may have developed interstellar travel
  • But Fermi also noted that there's a significant lack of evidence for life on other planets
  • The chances of aliens being able to reach us are high, but there's no evidence that aliens ever have
  • This paradox has baffled scientists for decades
