Fermi Paradox into question the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations
Let's start with the wording: "Connecting the belief that in the universe there are other technologically advanced civilization, with the absence of any evidence of this is the paradox, which leads to the fact that either our understanding of nature, or our observations are incomplete and erroneous." This paradox formulated by the physicist Enrico Fermi in 1961 to reflect on, and why, in fact, people are so sure of the existence of aliens, if at 13.75 billion years of our own existence no one has received any tangible evidence of this fact? < br />
In the Milky Way galaxy about 300 million stars. It's too great a number to suggest that any one planet is not as advanced civilizations on Earth! Alas, the scientific data do suggest that, rather, there really is not, than there.
Well, what about the fact that we constantly find organic compounds on comets and other planets of the solar system? Organics - ie, meet scientists. But even the slightest proof of the existence of civilizations absent.
Since then, as the Fermi formulated his paradox, the author devotes a lot his works attempt to resolve or explain it. Here you can read about this in more detail. However, the overall "weak point" of all these hypotheses is that the researchers proceeded from the assumption that either all (!), Without exception extraterrestrial civilizations characteristic pathological domesticity or all of them at the same time, the principle of laissez-faire in alien affairs. Strange that does none of our prospective neighbors do not have the curiosity that pushes people to the constant search for life in the universe ... However, the Fermi paradox still remains a paradox and is waiting to be solved.
