Humanity will need to survive about 400,000 years if we want any chance of hearing from an alien civilization
If there are so many galaxies, stars, and planets, where are all the aliens, and why haven't we heard from them? Those are the simple questions at the heart of the Fermi Paradox. In a new paper, a pair of researchers ask the next obvious question: Ho.....»»
