#71 - Where are all the Aliens?

1. The Fermi Paradox

Is it dark outside? Look up to the sky. Right there, between the stars. Nothing. There is nothing. No Spaceships. No Aliens. Emptiness. 

If this seems silly to you, hold on for a second.

For every star in the enormous Milky Way, there is an entire galaxy somewhere else. This means that for every grain of sand on Earth, there are 10,000 stars our there. Can all of that be empty? But If not, where are the Aliens? 

Welcome to the Fermi Paradox.

This in-depth article explains all the theory behind this question. Very insightful and written by the mastermind of WaitbutWhy. If you're feeling lazy, there is a video explainer to watch.
