Fermi Paradox: What Is The Fermi Paradox & Solutions To Fermi Theory

According to the Fermi Paradox there is no clear evidence for extraterrestrial life.

In 1950, the famous physicist, Enrico Fermi, made remarks during a lunch break that made many reconsider the existence of extraterrestrials. Fermi believed that it was reasonable to argue that if the Universe was inhabited by a large number of advanced civilizations, some of them should have made their way through our system by now. He believed we should have picked up their radio signals, or seen evidence for advanced technology. And since many believe there’s no such clear evidence for extraterrestrials, they conclude that they don’t exist.

The Fermi paradox is the conflict between the lack of clear, obvious evidence for extraterrestrial life and the various high estimates for their existence. As a 2015 article put it, “If life is so easy, someone from somewhere must have come calling by now.” Source: Wikipedia

In light of the above information, we should ask ourselves these questions: Who decided that they haven’t come calling? Who decided that there wasn’t any evidence for their existence? And have the scientists who, claim there’s no evidence, examined the abundance of clear evidence which can be found online?

Let’s examine some of the points in Robin Hanson’s Great Filter theory, from his 1996 essay titled, “The Great Filter – Are We Almost Past It?”

The Great Filter

With no evidence of intelligent life in places other than the Earth, it appears that the process of starting with a star and ending with “advanced explosive lasting life” must be unlikely. This implies that at least one step in this process must be improbable. Hanson’s list, while incomplete, describes the following nine steps in an “evolutionary path” that results in the colonization of the observable universe:

The right star system (including organics and potentially habitable planets)
Reproductive molecules (e.g. RNA)
Simple (prokaryotic) single-cell life
Complex (eukaryotic) single-cell life
Sexual reproduction
Multi-cell life
Tool-using animals with intelligence
A civilization advancing toward the potential for a colonization explosion (where we are now)
Colonization explosion

Excerpt from The Data Point

Within the next million years (at most) therefore, our descendants seem to have a foreseeable (greater than one in a thousand) chance of reaching an “explosive” point, where they expand outward at near the speed of light to colonize our galaxy, and then the universe, easily overpowering any less developed life in the way. FTL (faster than light) travel would imply even faster expansion.

Excerpt from Hanson’s Conclusion

No alien civilizations have substantially colonized our solar system or systems nearby. Thus among the billion trillion stars in our past universe, none has reached the level of technology and growth that we may soon reach. This one data point implies that a Great Filter stands between ordinary dead matter and advanced exploding lasting life. And the big question is: How far along this filter are we?

…Second, we must be wary of the “God of the Gaps” phenomena, where miracles are attributed to whatever we don’t understand. Contrary to the famous drunk looking for his keys under the lamppost, here we are tempted to conclude that the keys must lie in whatever dark corners we have not searched, rather than face the unpleasant conclusion that the keys may be forever lost.

Finally, we should remember that the Great Filter is so very large that it is not enough to just find some improbable steps; they must be improbable enough. Even if life only evolves once per galaxy, that still leaves the problem of explaining the rest of the filter: why we haven’t seen an explosion arriving here from any other galaxies in our past universe? And if we can’t find the Great Filter in our past, we’ll have to fear it in our future.

“…our descendants seem to have a foreseeable (greater than one in a thousand) chance of reaching an “explosive” point, where they expand outward at near the speed of light to colonize our galaxy, and then the universe, easily overpowering any less developed life in the way.” Why is it that scientists and other allegedly intelligent people almost always turn their thinking to war, conquest and colonization? If the extraterrestrials master faster than light space travel, their intelligence and way of life would be far superior and unfathomable to us. A civilization would be less likely to make such advancements with primitive and warlike thinking. Always barring exceptions, peace and order would have to prevail for them to evolve to such high standards.

Our society has taught us that we should always fight first and ask questions later because the aliens might imprison or enslave us. But we should evolve our thinking if we ever want to coexist with our cosmic neighbors. From a strictly logical viewpoint, we have nothing they would want or need. And they would have such advanced technology that we simply have nothing to offer them.

“Thus among the billion trillion stars in our past universe, none has reached the level of technology and growth that we may soon reach.” We can remove this entire sentence since Hanson provides no verifiable evidence for his claim. He couldn’t possibly know this and therefore it’s impossible to make such a claim.

“Second, we must be wary of the “God of the Gaps” phenomena, where miracles are attributed to whatever we don’t understand.” Speaking of God and miracles, it appears that Hanson would have us believe that life on our planet was the result of one big cosmic accident. He is asking us to consider that there’s no order to the Universe, even though the laws of physics can easily prove otherwise. The fact that Hanson has a M.S. in physics from the University of Chicago makes it all the more surprising that he would come to such an improbable conclusion.

We know from our advancement in astronomical science that the odds of there being millions of planets in the habitable zone, aka the Goldilocks Zone, are very high. Our Universe is so massive that we can’t even fathom how large it really is, nor do we know its actual age. In order for Hanson’s theory to hold any weight, we would have to assume that the existence of the Universe and our planet resulted from some great cosmic accident.

But if we think about everything from a logical viewpoint, replication is the absolute basis of everything in the Universe. Even the stars and planets are constantly coming and going away, becoming and passing away. If we’re being honest with ourselves, the odds of an organism not replicating itself would have to be close to zero. If you can find any organism, virus, bacteria, cell, molecule, etc. that doesn’t reproduce or make a copy of itself, you would have a rare find indeed. Even single-cell organisms have been found to replicate themselves in recent years.

If we look at how often something repeats itself on Earth, we can very easily see the microcosm of the macrocosm. With just a tiny bit of research, we can also learn that almost all creatures use tools in some way.

A wasp uses a pebble as a hammer. An octopus carries around a coconut shell to hide in. A shrike impales its prey on a sharp thorn.

Those are just a few examples of animal tool use that appear in the new book Animal Tool Behavior by Robert W. Shumaker, Kristina R. Walkup and Benjamin B. Beck.

Shumaker tells me about some of those myths during a walk around The Indianapolis Zoo, where he is vice president of life sciences. (He is also a member of the adjunct faculty at the University of Indiana.)

As we approach a female polar bear named Tundra, Shumaker says one myth he hopes to deflate is that tool use is limited to monkeys and apes. Polar bears offer a powerful rebuttal of that idea, he says. In zoos, they often throw objects with great force and accuracy. It’s less clear whether this sort of tool use occurs in the wild. But there are anecdotal reports from early Arctic explorers of polar bears using projectiles to hunt. Source: Myth Busting: The Truth About Animals And Tools

When we look at the Billy Meier UFO contacts, we find that the Fermi Paradox is self-inflicted and created by man. We could further narrow that down to the Military Industrial Complex. When we examine the Meier contacts, we also find that the Universe is teeming with life.

One thing that should be abundantly clear to any thinking human being is the pervasive primitive and barbaric behavior of much of humankind. We must ask ourselves why any advanced race of extraterrestrials would want to make contact with such primitive peoples? We would more than likely try to capture them and run experiments in the dark of night. We can’t be trusted with animals or children, so why would any intelligent human being or human-like being want to associate with us?

In conclusion, I would say that the Fermi Paradox isn’t a paradox at all. It shows the most basic trait of all animals, organisms, cells, etc., and that is the will for self-preservation. Intelligent life-forms, aka extraterrestrials, are wise to keep their distance from such egomaniacal, arrogant, primitive, violent and unthinking human beings.
