I’ve always been fascinated with the concept of Fermi’s paradox, in regards to whether there is life in space or not. Defined on Wikipedia as:

The Fermi paradox is the discrepancy between the lack of conclusive evidence of advanced extraterrestrial life and the apparently high a priori likelihood of its existence, and by extension of obtaining such evidence.

So life should be common, given how many stars and galaxies there are. Intelligent life will eventually develop industry and science, and consequently generate electromagnetic radiation; which can travel at the light ‘c’ and in every direction. So given both of those ideas, why don’t we detect any signals emanating from any other part of the Milky Way galaxy?

Ultimately, we don’t know very much about the true nature of the universe, so we don’t even know for sure if both of the suppositions of the Fermi Paradox are true. So who’s to say :p Thanks for reading
