https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_paradox
>There are billions of stars in the Milky Way similar to the Sun
>With high probability, some of these stars have Earth-like planets in a circumstellar habitable zone
>Many of these stars, and hence their planets, are much older than the Sun. If Earth-like planets are typical, some may have developed intelligent life long ago.
>Some of these civilizations may have developed interstellar travel, a step that humans are investigating
>Even at the slow pace of envisioned interstellar travel, the Milky Way galaxy could be completely traversed in a few million years
>Since many of the Sun-like stars are billions of years older than the Sun, the Earth should have already been visited by extraterrestrial civilizations, or at least their probes
>However, there is no convincing evidence that this has happened

What do you think of the Fermi Paradox? Are there interstellar civilizations out there that just haven't contacted us? What solution do you find the most interesting or likely?

 No.319860

Life probably exist out there, very very likely in my opinion, simple life, now, for complex intelligent life, things get more complex and less probably, a genuine advanced alien civilization that can travel between the vast vast distance between stars must be extremely extremely rare, so the odd for simple life are good, for advanced interstellar civilizations not that much.

have you hears of bootes void?

It just endless nothing out there, no planets, no stars, nothing


>spanning 330 million light-years in diameter. This vast emptiness contains a significantly lower number of galaxies than expected, with only a few handfuls observed so far.



only way we get out of here is if we discover hyper drive, or some sort of worm hole

 No.319866

The nature of everything beyond our own solar system is completely hypothetical with theories based in nothing that we've yet to test. Space could be a cube for all we know.

Possibly.
Honestly I'm not 100% convinced about the narratives of our own planet to begin with.
Now I'm not a flat earther or similar, but I feel like it has been proven or at least to me based on my experiences I've seen enough to believe that there is an upper class that has access to information far beyond us.
Most of modern science seems like theater.
I've read some research papers I've come across here and there, by no means do I claim to be well read on anything, but they just feel like bullshit.
Educated guesses at best, but still they are nothing more than imagination.

My biggest issue with these things is that as another wizard here points out, >>319866 too much of it is hypothetical.
Then most "educated" people just accept these things as facts and base further theories on them, because as a PHD student for example you have to write papers about SOMETHING and hard things are too hard for the average college goer so they just perpetuate bullshit.

Another aspect of this is that the education system isn't invention driven. Even when I was studying mechanical engineering (dropout) and later computer science, the hardest of the physics classes still left a lot to be desired.
I felt like the entire thing still was nothing more than a way to mold you into a worker. Your mind is framed by this supposed education so those who went through it only think in its confines.
This just perpetuates the problem. I can only imagine that there are enough falsehoods or half truths in there that no real breakthrough can be built on top of it by the average man.

As for life besides us? You can look into fun stuff like entire worlds in cells or whatnot. They have about as much substance as any other hypothesis.
We don't know enough about Earth to begin with let alone the universe.
