The Fermi Paradox refers to the absence of visits from extraterrestrials. "If beings exist they would be here by now" goes the thinking.


Some possible explanations for the lack of visits are:

*No one else exists.

*Interstellar travel is inherently impractical

*or... Every sentient race eventually develops replicators and holodecks and no further progress is made on any front

I've always thought Free Republic was proof of an advanced civilization on Earth. I mean, FReepers are light-years ahead of the competition!!
