- zamalek 9y agoThe Fermi Paradox deals with intelligent life (aliens) capable of being detected by other intelligent life (us). Life itself, however simple, is likely extremely abundant - there is even some inconclusive evidence that life once existed on Mars.
- joejerryronnie 9y agoThe fact of intellegent life arising somewhere else in the universe is statistically guaranteed. However, the sheer physical vastness of space and the timeframes that an intelligent species may be solvent mean that two separate intelligent species arising next to each other at the same time is almost a statitical impossibility. What the fermi paradox strongly supports is that faster than light/deep space travel in our little corner of the universe has not been figured out yet.
- dragonwriter 9y ago> The fact of intellegent life arising somewhere else in the universe is statistically guaranteed. We have insufficient data from which to make that conclusion to any reasonable degree of certainty. We also have an insufficient definition of “intelligent life” to even enable gathering such data.
