  “Not believing in the existence of aliens is like taking a spoonful of water from the ocean and saying ‘There are no sharks in the ocean because there are none in my spoon.’”

  Aliens don’t want contact because they accidentally looked through tumblr and twitter

  I took a college course about this topic. It was an astronomy course that really got into the science aspect of searching for life, so it was very intriguing. It was quite difficult, but also very rewarding because it reassured my belief that it exists somewhere while simultaneously destroying any hope that we will contact them someday.

  The universe is 14 billion years old and we expect to find aliens in the 100 years we have been able to see into space lol. Just 300 years ago we were burning people for being witches. I think we should give it more time

  I&apos;m of the opinion that earth is the ghetto of the galaxy, where traveling aliens wind their windows up and try not to make eye contact when they pass by.

  They&apos;re just social distancing.

  Another possible answer to the Fermi paradox might be the rare earth hypothesis. Consider, for intelligent life to evolve on earth, an incredible amount of chance events were essential:<br><br>1) A sustainable atmosphere in the Goldilocks zone.<br>2) A strong magnetic field to protect from radiation.<br>3) An oversized moon, possibly created by a planetary collision.<br>4) Axis tilt creating seasons.<br>5) Plate tectonics minimizing everlasting volcanoes (see Venus).<br>6) Cosmic event wiping out the dinosaurs.<br>7) Giant planet Jupiter diverting comets.<br><br>I probably missed a few factors, but all of these happening in one place could severely impact the Drake equation.
