- Deals with the question of whether we are alone in the universe
- Entertaining, enjoyable and easy to read
- With a touch of nerdy charm, it makes you smile, reflect and think
There are about a billion Earth-like planets in our galaxy alone. There are about 200 billion galaxies in the visible universe. So isn't it obvious that somewhere out there a civilisation has developed that is at least as advanced as our own? The sheer numbers almost demand it. But then why haven't we come across messages, artefacts or other evidence of even a single extraterrestrial civilisation?
In this book, Stephen Webb presents fifty convincing and fascinating solutions to the famous Fermi paradox, which are entertainingly presented and encourage reflection and even a smile.
Table of contents:
- Where are they all?
- About Fermi ... and about paradoxes
- They are (or were) already here
- They exist, we just haven't seen (or heard) them yet
- They don't exist
- The solution to the paradox
The author Stephen Webb studied physics at the University of Bristol and earned his doctorate in theoretical physics at the University of Manchester. He has conducted research at various universities in Great Britain.
