The Fermi Paradox has puzzled scientists and intrigued curious minds for over 70 years. It raises the most profound question ...

This quandary was named Fermi's Paradox. "It's a numbers game," Jason Wright, the director of the extraterrestrial intelligence centre at Pennsylvania State University, told AFP.

Wright said Fermi’s Paradox essentially suggests that — given enough time — “every alien species will eventually have their own Elon Musk who will go out and settle the next star over”.
