A Geometric Drake-like Framework for Passive SETI: Quantifying Galactic Signal Detectability and the Fermi Paradox
To the point
A simple geometric framework tied to the Drake equation shows that the chance of detecting at least one galactic signal grows with the number of communicative civilizations, suggesting a high likelihood of detection if signals reach across the Milky Way, while acknowledging the model is deliberately simplified and rests on many uncertain assumptions.
