We all feel something special when we are looking at the starry night sky. Some of us get struck by the epic beauty of the sky, others start thinking about how vast our universe is but definitely all of us feel this something. The physicist Enrico Fermi felt something too, he kept asking himself ”Where is everybody?” and that’s how Fermi’s paradox appeared. Today Smart is the New Sexy is going to talk about what this paradox is all about and what solutions scientists have offered.
Fermi paradox is typically summarized like this: If the universe is unfathomably large, the probability of intelligent alien life seems almost certain. But since the universe is also 14 billion years old, it would seem to afford plenty of time for these beings to make themselves known to humanity. So, well, where is everybody?
A really starry sky seems vast—but all we’re looking at is our very local neighborhood. On the very best nights, we can see up to about 2,500 stars (roughly one hundred-millionth of the stars in our galaxy), and almost all of them are less than 1,000 light years away from us (or 1% of the diameter of the Milky Way).
