What do you think the solution to the Fermi Paradox is?
No other civilizations exist OP, it's just us
Destroying ourselves is just what intelligent life does. I for one can't wait for our destruction
Maybe they all died out from asteroids or supernovas or whatever, idgaf
Aliens are gonna nuke the gently caress out of us OP and I'm going to laugh, because thats crazy
They're just too far away dude calm down
Maybe its just too boring to bother traveling or producing machines to go that distance, did you think of that??
I think we just aren't listening to the right kind of signals, maaan
they're too busy on space BYOB / virtual reality
I think they're too busy smoking weed
I think the earth is deliberately held back from contact like a fancy planetary zoo
the government actually hides evidence of the aliens; haven't you heard of roswell OP?
i think they are here already but just unobserved; the technology to hide would be nothing to an entity capable of interstellar travel
i think God kills them before they get too close to talking to humans, the chosen species of God
its too dangerous to communicate, look at first contact with other civilizations on a planetary scale it never ended awesomely
they are just too alien. we can't communicate, understand, or even begin to phantom what sort of methods they'd have to talk. they could live their lives out in time measured in space instead of the way we normally think of it and insane poo poo like that

 Isn't it possible that we don't know enough about space and the beginning of the universe that what we postulate about the big bang and the end of the universe is actually meaningless? Kinda like the aether or earth being the center of the universe. It matches everything we know now, but we might not actually know any of the important things.

While security dron is probed let me take this opportunity to tell you all that the truth lies in the luminiforous æther and also the terracentric aristotelian cosmology :evilbuddy:

If nothing can go faster than the speed of light (and nothing with mass can go at the speed of light) how could light be unable to reach any part of the universe? How is there an "unobservable" universe.
