Oh stop with the Fermi Paradox BS.

Ya think he’s some kind of super human, super genius being, who is able to see into every planet, every star system, and every galaxy in the entire universe, do some math and say, “We are all alone”...lol

Do you have any idea how asinine and arrogant that is?

The point of the theorem is to derive a conclusion based on a mathematical model. Let's see, I could go with your pure emotional argument or with Fermi's deductive logic. Hmmmm. I pick Fermi, sorry you lose.

Enrico Fermi (29 September 1901 – 28 November 1954)[1] was an Italian-born, naturalized American physicist particularly known for his work on the development of the first nuclear reactor, Chicago Pile-1, and for his contributions to the development of quantum theory, nuclear and particle physics, and statistical mechanics. He was awarded the 1938 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on induced radioactivity.

Fermi is widely regarded as one of the leading scientists of the 20th century, highly accomplished in both theory and experiment.[2] Along with J. Robert Oppenheimer,[3] he is frequently referred to as "the father of the atomic bomb".[4][5] He also held several patents related to the use of nuclear power.

Several awards, concepts, and institutions are named after Fermi, such as the Enrico Fermi Award,[6] the Enrico Fermi Institute, the Fermi National Accelerator Lab, the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, the Enrico Fermi Nuclear Generating Station, a class of particles called fermions, the synthetic element fermium, and many more.
