The Fermi Paradox is ridiculous. We only recently learned to spot exoplanets, we still only see them as a speck. If there is life out there (and the likelihood is pretty good) WE aren’t nearly advanced enough to find it yet, and certainly weren’t when the question was originally asked.

[@evertjan9479]

It's not ridiculous, we are only just taking our first steps. It's ridiculous to think we can visit each other, don't get me wrong, I would love to see that happen. It's just never going to be a reality. Unless they are living in this galaxy too. Any other galaxy is out of range sooner than later. So apart from whoever might inhabit this galaxy too, we actually are alone in the universe since we will never reach anyone else.

[@abstractfactory8068]

You are not taking time into consideration, just because extraterrestrial civilizations don't develop at the same time as us it doesn't mean it hasn't been out there or will be out there at some point in the future. We might go extinct in a million years and a new civilization might be thriving in mars or vice versa maybe a civilization already went extinct there and we were not there to witness it and in a universal timescale a million years would be nothing. We might be alone at this point in time but that doesn't mean that intelligent civilizations are a rare development. Only if we manage to survive and monitor the unverse through millions of years we would be able to determine that.

@Cliffordhurst951 whoa ho ho we got a philosopher here - such a profound statement!!! How wise!! Please, sir, another insightful quote!!!

[@evertjan9479]

We are the only species capable of defining anything, so yes we are civilized because we say so.

[@InsaneCuriosity]

We've made incredible advancements, but our actions over the last 150 years, show we still face challenges in sustainability and equality. Being 'civilized' isn't just about technology, but how we live in harmony with each other and the planet.

[@evertjan9479]

@@InsaneCuriosity Not quite so, that can only be if there is another species with a comparable comprehension of cause and effect. As long as there is only one species that species sets the standard. Simply because there is no other that can. No species but us is capable of anything remotely similar. So the only ones that decides what it means to be civil/civilized is us, homo sapiens. I know I'm human, try making an ant understand the concept of "being" and subsequently being an ant. It has less to do with intellect than with cognitive abilities and most importantly self awareness.

Most likely life is not as easy to begin as we expected and it has so many different obstacles to get through to even reach the state we are, but considering how massive the universe is; I do believe there is something somewhere out there. It makes no sense to be the only ones around considering how many different species we have on this one planet alone. Life just needs to start and get through so many steps. P.S If we infact are the first one out there with any sort of intelligence to improve; perhaps this would be a great time to better ourselves before other sentient races appear so once we do make the contact, we do not make fools of our selves.

Consigder the facts . There is no evidence for life elsewhere in thesolar syatem. The nearest star (Proxima Centuri, a red dwarf) is just over 4 light years away. Even if it has a planetary system withh beings of equal or superior intelligence who picked up a message from Earth and replied, it would be at least 8 years before we got a reply to our message, assuming that anyone is listening 8 years after sending the original message. Hardly a basis for a conversation !

That's not what's at issue. I'm the unlikely scenario that Proxima Centauri was home to an advanced civilization, why haven't we received any signal from Proxima Centauri? 8 years isn't much on the timescale of the universe. It's not about having conversations, it's about picking up ANY evidence of an alien presence in whatever manner. But yes, the vast distances involved surely play a role.

We might someday find out that life begins by an extraordinary bunch of very unlikely events happening that it just hasn't happened anywhere else.

[@Midg-td3ty]

well yeah but the universe is so big even if the chance is 1:1 million to arise on an earth like planet. And our planet is 1 in 1 million the chance is 1 in 1 trillion planets. we have 400 billion stars in the milky way and per star if we assume 7 planets like in our solar system its 280 Trillion planets. So we would have in that scenario 280 planets with life in our galaxy alone. And that is if the chance for life is 1 in 1 million and our earth is 1 in 1 million. Lets assume only yellow stars can host life like ours thats still 16 Billion sun like stars. Looking at our solar system we have 3 stars in the habitable zone (Mars on edge Venus in Edge) lets assume we have atleast 1 per sun in the HZ. So we have 16 Billion planets. Roughly 10% of all planetsystems are hot jupiters so those can be ruled out. In a survey they found 20 out of 30 planetsystems to have jupiter like planets. So 2/3 of solar systems could be similar to our solar system. 10.7 Billion earth like stars with jupiter equivalent. The moon formation might be extraordinary rare. But even if its 1 in 1000 we would still have 10.7 million earths in our galaxy. So even if 1 in 1 million chance for life formation we have still 10-11 planets here that host life. But it looks like chances are much much higher to create simple singular cell organisms. And we might actually have them everywhere.

[@fritzbang4805]

The problem for us and them also is we can't go nearly the speed of light and even if we could it's still to slow for the distances of other solar systems. It would take us 50,000 years to get to Proxima B and that's next door. Galactic space travel will never happen and forget the next galaxy. Yea, only 4.5 years to Proxima at light speed but you'll wreck your ship at that speed. One sand grain will blow a hole in your hull.

[@cjpolett2055]

Consider that Earth is a paradise for life, and life has had billions of years to adapt to every environment - and yet, there are still huge swaths of this planet that are basically uninhabitable to most life - the deserts, the poles, high peaks, the fury of the ocean surface. Microbes may exist in these places, but hardly anything multicellular nevermind animal life.

[@Ron4885]

That could be Jesse. If you have a minute I'll tell something that happened. We have a small dog (Jack Russell Terrier) that's quite chill. We are watching tv, and suddenly this Terrier goes off barking aggressively at a spot near the ceiling. I was the kind of barking he does when there's a knock at the door, all energetic and bouncing around. There was nothing there, not even a bug or something that we could see. But his eyes seemed to be looking at something. It's never happened again, but I'm sure he was seeing something. So perhaps some animals have abilities we don't understand yet.

So here is what I think: I don't think life is rare, I think technology is rare. Just think about how many things have to go right for a species to develop as much as we have. You don't even have to speculate, just let's look at our own planet's history. The dinosaurs and other animals were around for millions of years and never developed into highly complex social creatures like us. Evolution found a comfy solution that worked and settled in for millions of years. If not for a meteor that came at the wrong place and wrong time it'd till do just that. That's hurdle 1. Then let's look at how long humans have been around. 300.000 years and we only developed any sort of real complex machinery in the last 100-150. For a species even as smart as us, to develop high tech it needs very highly specific conditions. Among them an empire that's so rich it can waste extensive amounts of time and effort on what's essentially useless hobbies like steam power and sciences. We all know it eventually leads to great things, but it can only be explored in seriousness when you have enough people who are so post scarce they have time to and bored enough to do it. And even then half the discoveries we had were accidents and flukes. That's hurdle 2. These are by no means simple things to happen. took life on earth hundreds of millions years and an astronomical amount of flukes to happen.

I think it's very possible that there's not another planet like earth. Right now at least. Maybe the universe dictates these things itself.

[@InsaneCuriosity]

Yes, we haven't found another planet exactly like Earth, but scientists are still searching. The universe is vast, and it's possible that there are planets out there with similar conditions. The Fermi Paradox explores why, despite this, we haven't yet detected signs of extraterrestrial life.
