how likely is it to nd life in space


Drake Equation

N = R* fp ne fc L
N = The number of civilizations in The Milky Way Galaxy whose electromagnetic emissions are detectable. R* =The rate of formation of stars suitable for the development of intelligent life. fp = The fraction of those stars with planetary systems. ne = The number of planets, per solar system, with an environment suitable for life. = The fraction of suitable planets on which life actually appears. = The fraction of life bearing planets on which intelligent life emerges. fc = The fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space. L = The length of time such civilizations release detectable signals into space.

so where are all the aliens - the Fermi paradox


conict between an argument of scale and probability and a lack of evidence the apparent size and age of the universe suggests that many technologically advanced extraterrestrial civilisations ought to exist. However, this hypothesis seems inconsistent with the lack of observational evidence to support it

explaining the Fermi paradox theoretically


no other civilisations currently exist rare earth hypothesis Its the nature of intelligent life to destroy itself its the nature of intelligent life to destroy others human beings were created alone (religion)

explaining the Fermi paradox theoretically


they do exist, but we see no evidence communication is impossible due to problems of scale communication is impossible for technical reasons they choose not to interact with us they are here unobserved
