The universe is nearly 14 billion years old. There are billions of galaxies, each filled with billions of stars. So if intelligent life is likely… why don’t we see it? This question is known as the Fermi Paradox. One possibility is that advanced civilizations existed long before us — and disappeared. Another is that we are among the first to emerge. Maybe we’re not alone. Maybe we’re just early. Or maybe… we’re late. In this video, we explore the idea of temporal non-overlap, the Great Filter, and why cosmic silence may not mean emptiness.
