Ep. 35: The Fermi Paradox, Pt. 1

Are we all alone in the universe? There are hundreds of billions of galaxies - the largest hold trillions of stars, the smallest a few hundred million. It seems impossible that there wouldn't be civilizations out there, some of them far more advanced than ours. So...where are they?The Fermi Paradox is the apparent contradiction between the high probability there is advanced life out there, and the total lack of evidence for it. In this first of a two-part series, Sean takes us past "Scary" and into sheer existential dread with the first batch of Fermi Paradox answers - the ones that say life is fragile and improbable and we're probably all alone.Happy Spring!________________________________________Connect with us on social media:Facebook: www.facebook.com/aintitscaryTwitter: @aintitscaryInstagram: @aintitscaryPatreon: www.patreon.com/aintitscary___________________________________________Thank you to our sponsors:BetterHelp - Special offer for Ain’t it Scary? listeners: Get 10% off your first month at www.betterhelp.com/aintitscaryAudible - Get a FREE audiobook and 30-Day Free Trial at www.audibletrial.com/aintitscaryBarkBox - Enjoy a FREE month of BarkBox on us when you sign up for a 6 or 12-month BarkBox subscription!
