Fermi's Paradox

Fermi's Paradox

The Fermi Paradox is an apparent contradiction between high estimates of the probability of the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations and the lack of evidence for or contact with such civilizations.

Are We Alone? - SETI and the Drake Equation Seek Extraterrestrial Intelligence
It is part of the human condition to seek connections with other life. SETI conducts physical searches for extraterrestrial intelligence while the Drake Equation seeks the answer mathematically.Contributor: Brad SylvesterPublished: Jan 14, 2010

How to talk to ET
At the Astrobiology Science Conference 2010 in April, scientists working on the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) will debate whether it's a good idea to systematically start transmitting interstellar greetings into space. Of course, there have been isolated efforts to reach out to our space brothers before. For example, SETI pioneer Frank Drake created the 210 byte message seen here and transmitted it from the Arecibo telescope...

SETI founder Dr Frank Drake outlines ambitious plans
A radio observatory on the far side of the moon to eliminate Earth-based radio interference and gravitational microlensing to view alien planets are among the projects for detecting extraterrestrial intelligence proposed by SETI pioneer Dr. Frank Drake.

The 1.8 Gigayear Gap -A Galaxy Classic

Written by starling on
Are we the lone sentient life in the universe? So far, we have no evidence to the contrary, and yet the odds that not one single other planet has evolved intelligent life would appear, from a statistical standpoint, to be quite small. There are an estimated 250 billion (2.5 x 10¹¹ ) stars in the Milky Way alone, and over 70 sextillion (7 x 10²² ) in the visible universe, and many of them are surrounded by multiple planets. The shear size of the known universe is staggeringly and inconceivably vast. The odds of there being only one single planet that evolved life among ... Read Full Story

100 Billion: "The Great Silence" -A Galaxy Classic

Written by CaseyKazan on
"The idea that we are the only intelligent creatures in a cosmos of a hundred billion galaxies is so preposterous that there are very few astronomers today who would take it seriously. It is safest to assume therefore, that they are out there and to consider the manner in which this may impinge upon human society." Arthur C. Clarke, physicist and author of 2001: A Space Odyssey One of the greatest philosophical and scientific challenges that currently confronts humanity is the unsolved question of the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence. The Fermi paradox is the apparent contradiction between high estimates of the probability of the ... Read Full Story

Alien Census: Can We Estimate How Much Life Is Out There?

Written by gblass on
ET, ARE YOU THERE? A new study investigates theories of intelligent life elsewhere in the galaxy by generating computer models of star formation, planetary formation, and the development of life. One star map from the simulation appears above. DUNCAN FORGAN/ROYAL OBSERVATORY, EDINBURGH One day in 1950, nuclear physicist Enrico Fermi posed a question to a few colleagues he was lunching with at Los Alamos National Laboratory that would become known as the Fermi Paradox: If the Milky Way is indeed teeming with alien civilizations, as many theories suggest, where are they? Shouldn't we see evidence of their existence? Nearly 60 years later, the question ... Read Full Story
