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.
No sale.
I personally believe, in my opinion, the universe is loaded with life, regardless of what Mr. Enrico Fermi says or believes.
Good grief man, after thousands of years, we can't even get to our nearest planetary neighbor, but ya buy into some guys theory which claims there is no life on trillions of other planetary systems?
Lets get real here.
You assume Fermi had all the facts and his model isn’t wrong. One thing about a true scientist: They always know their perfect conclusions can be completely wrong.
Fermi didn’t have the knowledge that we have today so his model cannot possibly be accurate. Just a few years ago the idea of tracking life sustaining planets was thought to be nearly impossible, yet, the pace of findings is amazing.
