Fermi Paradox Explained: If There Are TRILLIONS of Planets in Space, Why Hasn’t Anyone Contacted Us?

The video explores the Fermi Paradox, which questions why we haven't detected extraterrestrial life despite the vastness of the universe. It discusses the scale of the universe, the Drake Equation, and theories on why advanced civilizations might not colonize other planets. These include resource constraints, the choice to observe rather than colonize, and the Great Filter Theory. The video concludes by highlighting the profound implications of solving the Fermi Paradox for humanity's future in the cosmos.

What fundamental question does the Fermi Paradox pose?

• What is the origin of black holes?

• How do stars form in the galaxy?

• Why haven't we detected extraterrestrial life despite the vastness of the universe?

• Why is the universe expanding?

What does the Drake Equation attempt to estimate?

• The age of the universe

• The number of galaxies in the universe

• The speed of light in a vacuum

• The number of active extraterrestrial civilizations in our galaxy

What is one reason why a civilization might not colonize other planets?

• Desire to remain hidden from other civilizations

• Fear of alien invasions

• Insufficient technological and financial resources

• Lack of interest in space exploration

What is the Great Filter Theory?

• A theory explaining the expansion of the universe

• A theory about the formation of black holes

• A theory proposing that catastrophic events prevent civilizations from advancing

• A theory suggesting that all civilizations eventually become extinct

Why might extraterrestrial civilizations choose not to reveal themselves?

• They are not technologically advanced

• They have not yet discovered Earth

• They prefer to observe from a distance

• They are afraid of humans
