Serbian philosopher Vojin Rakic has put forward a new hypothesis that could explain the Fermi paradox. His research is published here: International Journal of Astrobiology.
The Fermi paradox lies in the absence of visible traces of the activities of alien civilizations. The Milky Way, where the Earth’s solar system is located, is enormous in size and age. But humanity has not yet discovered traces of intelligent alien life.
Rakic suggested that this paradox could be explained by two factors: either human senses are unable to detect traces of extraterrestrial life, or alien civilizations live in parts of the universe that are inaccessible to modern technology.
Speaking about the abstract nature of extraterrestrial life, the philosopher noted that alien civilizations could be different from those we know. For example, they could be made of dark matter, exist in other time and space dimensions, and also have intelligence beyond human understanding.
Rakic also suggested that extraterrestrial life could exist in parallel universes. Due to insufficient technology, humanity is yet to confirm or disprove this theory.
Before that, an international group of scientists from the SETI Institute for the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence spent The first intergalactic survey of its kind to detect alien radio signals in the 100 MHz band. The study covered 2,800 galaxies.
Earlier scientists offered Search for aliens on planets with black hole-shaped moons.
