Do you think aliens in ufos have visited Earth? (And all things UFO)
Imagine that you are an inhabitant of a planet in the Alpha Centauri system just 4.37 short lightyears away from the Milky Way galaxy and that you're current technology rivals that of Earth. How easy would it be for you to:
A.) Find Earth by whatever means (telescopy in all of its forms including radio telescope)? Earth is a lowly planet in what we know as the Sagittarius Arm of the Milky Way, about halfway from the edge of the galaxy, and the galactic center nowhere near as massive as other planets Earth tech has been able to discern.
2.) Discern what you're hearing/seeing (against the background of universal noise)?
iii.) To know the universe tastes like raspberries?
I think that as observability becomes better (what I have described is just one example, in Fermi's day we did not have the tools we have now) Fermi's paradox seems less paradoxical.
We should note, and many have presented, that there are problems with the Fermi Paradox itself, specifically observability. Here is one brief example:It's a question that has puzzled scientists for decades – if there are aliens out there, why haven't they visited Earth yet?
Now, scientists believe they may have the answer to the so-called Fermi paradox.
Dr Michael Wong, of the Carnegie Institution for Science, and Dr Stuart Bartlett, of California Institute of Technology, claim that extraterrestrial civilisations may grow so large and technical that they hit crisis points, missing the chance to visit new worlds.
No life beyond Earth has ever been found; there is no evidence that alien life has ever visited our planet.
However, this does not mean that the universe is lifeless other than on Earth, according to NASA.
The space agency says: 'While no clear signs of life have ever been detected, the possibility of extraterrestrial biology - the scientific logic that supports it - has grown increasingly plausible.'
One popular school of thought is that our own existence is evidence that there is certainly life on other planets, as the likelihood of Earth being a 'one-off' is almost zero.
However, one argument against this is - if there is extraterrestrial life, why have we not found any evidence for it?
The Fermi Paradox questions why, given the estimated 200 billion - 400 billion stars and at least 100 billion planets in our galaxy, there have been no signs of alien life.
The contradiction is named after its creator, Italian physicist Enrico Fermi, who first posed the question back in 1950.
In a new study, published in Royal Society Open Science, Dr Wong and Dr Bartlett set out to crack the 70-year-old puzzle.
The pair analysed previous studies which have shown that cities grow 'superlinearly' – at a faster rate than linear – thanks to their social nature.............
