Fermi paradox The Fermi paradox is a scientific mystery that has puzzled scientists for decades. In 1950, physicist Enrico Fermi famously asked, “If the universe is so old and vast, why have we never encountered any extraterrestrial life?” This question, now known as the Fermi paradox, still remains unanswered today. There are many theories as to why this could be, but no definitive answer has been found. In this blog post, we'll be exploring the Fermi paradox, and some of the explanations that have been proposed to explain it. What is the Fermi paradox? The Fermi paradox is a thought experiment posed by Italian physicist Enrico Fermi in 1950. The paradox is that, if the universe is full of intelligent life, why don't we see any evidence of it? This paradox has been used to explain why we haven't made contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. At its core, the Fermi Paradox is a simple question: Given the size and age of the universe, there should be many advanced civil...
