Why haven’t we found aliens? | 为什么外星人还没被发现?
Chances are, we’re not alone in the universe. But if that’s true — why can’t we seem to find our neighbors? This question is known as the Fermi paradox, and it continues to go unsolved. However, some theories could offer potential solutions. Physicist Brian Cox explains the paradox and walks us through our best guesses as to the reason for our quasi-isolation.
除了费米悖论,Cox教授还提到了三体中也出现过的“黑暗森林”理论。不过Cox教授的观点是,倾向于认为高级文明并不会隐藏自身的存在。各位小伙伴怎么看呢?
多语种课堂 回复 @多语种课堂: 导致费米悖论出现的,另外两个原因,可能是“the great filter”和“the geat silence”。前者认为,当文明发展到一定程度之后,就会碰到各种各样的危机,阻碍其继续向前发展(比如战争,自然灾难);而后者则认为,物种向高级方向的演化本身就是一种非常困难的小概率事件。你怎么看呢?
