The dark forest explains it best

life is rarer than we thought because the conditions for complex life are far more complicated than we thought 50 years ago

Everyone is quiet because if they make their presence know they risk being annihilated

lol

enders game is honestly a really retarded book

enjoyable but retarded

the moment you broadcast your first radio signal it's too late

that solution is retarded af

i mean

you dont even need that

You sit in the dark of the forest like a hunter camouflaged and wait for a potential happy retard to signal his pressence

you can tell if a world is habitable from the other end of the galaxy

And then you kill him

by examining suns

luci no you can't

exaggeration

Radio signals decay rapidly beyond the sun's heliosphere

but you can from very far away determine locations where habitable worlds are possible

Not to mention the cosmic tide of radiation heavily interfering with them

you want to know the simplest and most logical solution to the Fermi Paradox?

of course the catch is aliens of a non carbon base would find fdifferent worlds habitable

space itself

Sure

space is freakin big

I'm open to solutions

Absolutely

the first radio broadcast was a little over 50-60 years ago iirc

They have the drake equation taking that in account when iterating the fermi paradox tho

if you actually look at a radius of 50 lightyears around our solar system, it's nothing

the radio was invented pre wwi wasnt it

Actually

it's a mere speck in the galaxy

1937) developed, demonstrated and marketed the first successful long-distance wireless telegraph and in 1901 broadcast the first transatlantic radio signa

yeah way over 60 years dude

Theres plenty of potential habitable planets in close proximity but not sure if ots beyond the range of 50 light years

ya but when did they send the message they meant for to reach aliens?

I can't remember

Or where radio signals decay into background noise because of background cosmic radiation

light is eternal

oooooo

for all you know background radiation is just the interstellar radio traffic of a more advanced civilization
