My Thesis Aganist The Fermi Paradox

[Ufology_Exobiology]

The story goes that, one day back on the 1940's, a group of atomic scientists, including the famous Enrico Fermi, were sitting around talking, when the subject turned to extraterrestrial life. Fermi is supposed to have then asked, "So? Where is everybody?" What he meant was: If there are all these billions of planets in the universe that are capable of supporting life, and millions of intelligent species out there, then how come none has visited earth? This has come to be known as The Fermi Paradox.

 

Fermi realized that any civilization with a modest amount of rocket technology and an immodest amount of imperial incentive could rapidly colonize the entire Galaxy. Within a few million years, every star system could be brought under the wing of empire. A few million years may sound long, but in fact it's quite short compared with the age of the Galaxy, which is roughly ten thousand million years. Colonization of the Milky Way should be a quick exercise.

 

So what Fermi immediately realized was that the aliens have had more than enough time to pepper the Galaxy with their presence. But looking around, he didn't see any clear indication that they're out and about. This prompted Fermi to ask what was (to him) an obvious question: "where is everybody?"

 

 

Also, if one considers the amount of time the Galaxy has been around (over 10 billion years) and the speed of technological advancement in our own culture, then a more relevant point is where are all the super-advanced alien civilizations. Russian astrophysicist Nikolai Kardashev proposed a useful scheme to classify advanced civilizations, he argues that ET would posses one of three levels of technology. A Type I civilization is similar to our own, one that uses the energy resources of a planet. A Type II civilization would use the energy resources of a star, such as a Dyson sphere. A Type III civilization would employ the energy resources of an entire galaxy. A Type III civilization would be easy to detect, even at vast distances.

This is however highly improable.

 

It is excepted that we know nothing in regards to the vastness of our cosmos. For probability, this is a far shot.

 

It is apparent that we are a second generation solarsystem, for our sun is the child of another sun.

For probability, this is a hope. We are not alone in terms of probability, at least at a microbial state.

 

I will limit my findings to this, untill my mathematical proofs are published with my thesis in exobiology.

After being asked, you edited the post but you only entered his initials, which is not sufficient for attribution. We have a tolerance for brief unattributed quotes only if they are called out and are part of popular culture or commentary, but long quotes published works in books or on the Internet, need to be identified and attributed properly.

 

Thank you for your cooperation,
