Fermi’s Paradox and Why It Matters
Tola Marts
When we first developed radio telescopes, we pointed them at the stars and thought we’d soon tune in alien civilizations. Instead, the silence has been deafening. In 1950, Enrico Fermi asked friends “where are they?” The more we learn about the fundamentally life-friendly structure of the galaxy, the more urgent Fermi’s question becomes. We will review the latest thinking on Drake’s equation, the solution schema to Fermi’s Paradox, and the implications for our own civilization.

He received his BSME from the University of Minnesota. He lives on the Eastside with his family, where in his spare time he indulges his twin passions for motorcycling and municipal politics.
