The Fermi Paradox

Posted on April 27, 2017 by brandonandthesolarsystem

The Fermi paradox is based entirely upon a lunch conversation between Enrico Fermi, an iconic physicist, and his friends and co-workers. When discussing their belief that there must be intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, Fermi asked a simple, but profound question: “Where is everybody?” While, on its surface, this question seems somewhat ridiculous, it […] Continue reading →

If we think for a moment about the size of our universe and how many Earth like planets orbiting a star much like our Sun, it doesn’t take long to begin to wonder, where is everybody else? This is called the Fermi Paradox. Some estimate that there should be about 10 quadrillion (10 million billion) […] Continue reading →

Posted on April 27, 2017 by zhengastronomy

One of the most common questions people have when they look at the sky is, “Are there any other life out there?” Many would think yes. Many, many stories, shows, and games have been made about alien species living out there. The math also adds up. While the Drake Equation isn’t exact, using any reasonable … Continue reading Blog #8: Aliens? Continue reading →

The Fermi paradox: Is there life out there?

Posted on April 27, 2016 by samihahplanet

Source: Youtube Channel Kurzgesagt The Fermi paradox is summarized in the video above. At a bare minimum, the Fermi paradox is the paradox of the Drake equation supposedly estimating a large number of possible planets in our Galaxy harboring life, yet no such evidence of intelligent life has been discovered. There are many possible speculations for why […] Continue reading →

What is the Fermi Paradox?

Posted on April 4, 2016 by danielicopeland

The Fermi Paradox, first proposed by physicist Enrico Fermi, addresses the question, “where is all the intelligent life in the universe?” It might seem that the answer to this is obvious; life is incredibly rare. But let’s just run a few numbers anyway. The low-end estimate of how many stars are in just in our […] Continue reading →

Are We Alone in the Universe?

Posted on March 14, 2016 by HB

And why does that question seem to be so hard to answer? Our universe is vast. There’s no doubt about that. And statistically, we should be able to find life in some way, shape, or form somewhere in the seemingly endless cosmos. For every grain of sand on Earth, there are ten thousand stars in … Continue reading Are We Alone in the Universe? → Continue reading →

Where is Everybody?

Posted on February 15, 2016 by astr2110geoffren

The Fermi Paradox questions how is it possible that if there are so many planets orbiting so many stars existing in so many solar systems making up so many galaxies composing so many superclusters creating our observable universe, how is it possible that we haven’t seen any other signs of intelligent life? This has many […] Continue reading →
