EPISODE 129 | The Fermi Paradox: Here Comes Nobody If we are not unique as a species, an intelligent one that builds civilizations, then there must be lots and lots of other civilizations out there in the galaxy and the rest of the universe beyond. But if so, where the hell is everybody? That's the question at the heart of the Fermi Paradox. And this has kicked off a chain of reasoning and speculation that crosses disciplinary boundaries, and lets us start to envision, not just what might be out there, but where we ourselves want to go as a global civilization.

The Fermi paradox has many solutions. Many explanations for the fact that we don't see any signs of intelligent life in the Universe. We ranked all the major ones and put them into tiers from S to D.

Have you ever wondered why, with the vastness of the universe and the countless exoplanets we've discovered, there's still no sign of advanced alien civilizations? Join us as we delve into the mind-boggling Fermi Paradox and explore the controversial Zoo Hypothesis. The Zoo Hypothesis proposes that advanced extraterrestrial beings may be observing us, much like we observe animals in a zoo. But why the silence? Could it be a universal "prime directive" guiding these civilizations to let us evolve independently?

Dr. Ian Crawford joined us from the UK today to discuss the Fermi Paradox, The Zoo Hypothesis and what it means to not be finding technically advanced ET civilizations.

What if we haven't made alien contact because they're keeping Earth like a zoo? It may be unlikely, but learn about the zoo hypothesis in this episode of BrainStuff, based on this article: https://science.howstuffworks.com/space/aliens-ufos/zoo-hypothesis.htmSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nico lost his ID. Buzz explains the "Zoo Hypothesis" and Joanna explains her coffee habits.

Plans changed at the last moment, and we decided to riff on a topic that resonates with both of us:  ALIEN/HUMAN Interaction!  Are ALIENS responsible for our existence?  Do they interact w/ and manipulate us, to this day?  Plus, our "One Last Take" segment takes on a head-scratcher, the "ZOO Hypothesis."  Of course, we can't help but throw in the usual levity....Don't miss out! 

Where is extraterrestrial life and why haven't we seen anything, dead or alive, yet? I mean, Matt Williams tells me maybe we have already with Oumuamua Oumuamua, but that's still up for debate among researchers. Why haven't we confirmed anything outside our planet yet? Enter, the Fermi Paradox. In today's episode, we discussed some more proposed solutions; The Zoo Hypothesis, The Dark Forest Theory, The Great Filter to name a few covered. (Part 2 - episode 66). Bio: Hello all. I'm a space/astronomy journalist and a science communicator. And I also enjoy reading and writing hard science fiction. It's not just because of my day job, it's also something I've been enthused about since I was young. By the time I was seventeen, I began writing my own fiction and eventually decided it was something I wanted to pursue. Aside from writing about things that are ground in real science, I prefer the kind of SF that tackles the most fundamental questions of existence. Like “Who are we? Where are we going? Are we alone in the Universe?” In any case, that's what I have always striven for: to write stories that address these questions, and the kind of books that people are similarly interested in them would want to read. Over the years, I have written many short stories and three full-length novels, all which take place within the same fictional universe. In addition, I have written over a thousand articles for a number of publications on the subjects of science, technology, astronomy, history, cosmology, and the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI).

What if aliens exist and they just think we're kind of boring? This is the provocative question bravely asked by our guest this week, returning fave Mel Cowan. Mel's ready to dive in to the Zoo Hypothesis, the idea that aliens are out there keeping an eye on our planet, not bugging us, just living their own lives. Buckle up for a nice kind episode full of musings about the nature of humanity, ponderings upon what it means to really communicate, jokes about Scooby Doo and Sea Monkeys, super niche references to LA improv, and sandwich talk. And don't forget to get Dos'd!

If aliens truly exist, why haven’t we seen any yet? Are we actually alone in the universe or have there been aliens all along? Join Carolanne and Matt as they dive into the Zoo Hypothesis-- an answer to the puzzling Fermi Paradox. Are aliens waiting in our galactic neighborhood to welcome us to the galactic republic or are we too small to worry about? Grab a drink and buckle up!

Do you ever feel like you're being watched... by aliens? The "Zoo Hypothesis" as it is known in science circles speculates that some form of advanced, alien beings are watching us but deliberately not contacting us so as to not interfere with our evolution. Sort of like "Star Trek's" Prime Directive. But what if we reached out to them first and let them know we'd like to meet? Is that even a good idea or could it lead to unintentionally attracting the attention of a malevolent species who might want to attack us? Teddy and Richard are joined by world-renowned astrobiologist and President of METI (Messaging Extra-Terrestrial Life) Douglas Vakoch to seriously ponder, "what If we lived in a galactic zoo?" Join hosts Richard Garner and Teddy Wilson with some of the world’s top thinkers in science, astronomy, technology, academia and futurism to ponder some of your most popular What If videos.   Subscribe to this podcast and please rate & review us.

Transcript: The Fermi Paradox starts with the simple question, where are they? It’s based on the huge number of potential sites for life and the large amount of time in the history of the universe for intelligent civilizations that can travel in space to have developed. There is no answer to the Fermi paradox, but thinking about possible answers enlightens us into the role of the universe and life itself. Here are some possible solutions. We might be alone or so alone as to be isolated in time and space if intelligent life is rare. Alternatively, we might not be alone. There may be other intelligent life forms, but the technical and energetic difficulties of space travel could make it an unusual outcome. Another possibility is that intelligent civilizations self-destruct before they ever get the capability for interstellar travel. This of course may be our outcome still. Another possibility is that intelligent civilizations exist, but they are hiding from us. This is called the Zoo Hypothesis. Yet another possibility is that they exist, but they don't care because we are insufficiently advanced to interesting to them. That's a sobering prospect, and in truth we have no logical way of deciding between these and many more answers to the question, where are they?
