Exploring the Fermi Paradox: An Open-Ended Inquiry into Detectability, Motivation, and Observational Limits

To the point

Jonathan Kuhl, Pere, Prallax, and Thomas Perry argue that the Fermi paradox has no single explanation and remains an open question, with possibilities including rarity or fleeting lifespans of life, detection limits on galactic or universal scales, non‑colonizing or unrecognizable communication by advanced civilizations, and the limits of light speed and conventional signals, while warning against speculative physics.
