RE: Explaining the Fermi Paradox - Why the Universe is teeming with life but we may never make contact.

in #science8 years ago

Stellar article :) I skimmed it, like the read, am somewhat familiar with the argument. As I observe you don't give a definition of "life" (did I miss it?) I think this is where we might go wrong. Life is an evolution of the physical material in the universe and so I think it could be suggested EVERYTHING is life. That might re-solve the paradox. I might write about this in relation to your article. Cheers.

Please do! I shall look forward to it. I will pass on the definition of Life itself, but I have given a definition of "intelligent life" which is relevant to the Fermi paradox. I.e. the ability to transmit electromagnetic waves that may be detected by extraterrestrial civilizations as clearly patterned and distinguishable from background noise.
