The Fermi paradox - "where are they?" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_paradox http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_paradox
After all, besides the importance to us, the earth is still a rather small dot in this universe and I really like to know what's happening out there. I have some hope that we can answer that paradox some day and maybe we will even get the first hints to that within my lifetime.

And perhaps wonder why we have "heating stations" all over the planet, when we really have a lack of energy.
- wlievens 19y agoPeople often say the problem is the vast distances in space. I think they're wrong: a few thousand years is probably enough to colonize hundreds of worlds with generation ships. The main problem is the vast distance in time. An inhabitable planet may exist 20 light years from here, but odds are it is hundreds of millions of years behind or ahead of us in terms of evolution. The eery thing about the Fermi paradox is that it may spell doom for our own longevity.
