One news report was estatic over the photo of the ‘star-shaped’ UFO.
Star shaped like the 5-pointed one on our flag.
Sorry, stars dont look like that. They look like the sun.
We picture stars that way because they twinkle.
Enrico Fermi the brilliant scientist who split the atom postulated “The Fermi Paradox”-—— the contradiction between the high probability that intelligent alien life exists in the universe and the total lack of evidence for it.
Fermi simply asks: if the universe is vast, ancient, and filled with billions of stars, “Where is everybody?”
The paradox hinges on a few straightforward observations:
The Numbers: The Milky Way alone contains hundreds of billions of stars, many of which are older than our Sun and harbor Earth-like planets in their habitable zones.
Given enough time, a space-faring civilization could colonize the entire galaxy within just a few million years—a mere blink of an eye in cosmic history.
Despite this, we have found no definitive radio signals, spacecraft, megastructures, or physical evidence of extraterrestrial life.
Why is the cosmos so quiet?
Scientists and philosophers have proposed various theories.
Space is literally quiet because it is a near-vacuum; sound waves require a physical medium
(like air or water) to travel, making the void of interstellar space completely silent.
However, the “silence of the universe” typically refers to the Fermi Paradox—
the eerie lack of detected signals, radio waves, or evidence from intelligent alien life.
