If life is common in the Universe, then where is everybody? Known as the Fermi Paradox, a new project may help solve the riddle.
Key Takeaways
- The Fermi Paradox refers to the puzzling observation that we have as yet seen no clear evidence for the existence of extraterrestrial intelligent life, despite the vast number of stars out there and the expectation that most of them have planets and moons.
- Entire books have been written that propose a variety of solutions to the paradox.
- The Square Kilometer Array (SKA), which will be the world’s largest radio astronomy observatory when it is completed in 2028, might get us closer to a resolution.
