The Fermi Paradox: Habitability, Barriers to Civilizations, and the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence
To the point
The Fermi Paradox, named after Enrico Fermi, notes that despite the vast number of stars and potentially habitable planets, we have no conclusive signs of intelligent extraterrestrials, and it explores possible explanations like a Great Filter, self-destruction, or enormous cosmic distances, which in turn shape how we search for life and expect to detect signals or civilizations.
