A Cup of Tea

Will humankind ever encounter intelligent life somewhere else in the universe? Is there a reason why we've not been contacted by extraterrestrials in recorded history despite listening for signals? The Fermi Paradox poses these questions and some researchers have proposed answers to them. In this episode, co-hosts Nathaniel and Jared dive into the hypothetical solutions to this paradox. They also provide their own ideas on why intelligent life may be currently out of reach when the math suggests that it should be abundant in the universe.
