What if Enrico Fermi was actually just asking why the cafeteria seemed so empty? 🤔😂
When his colleagues assumed a deeper meaning, he just went with it 🤣
Fermi: "Where is everyone?"
(everyone else) "We're here, right in front of you!"
Seriously though, no sign of alien activity has been found because they're just not out there. People like to go on about how the universe is just so astronomically big, and so therefore aliens just have to be out there somewhere, but this is clearly a case of shoddy reasoning, because a vast universe, in and of itself, is insufficient on its own to guarantee anything at all. Other, very specific, conditions need to be met as well (ex. the right type of star, which already excludes approx. 70% of all stars, because those stars are red dwarfs).

@Bel6EQUJ5 Or it could be that we’re simply the first to technologically evolve this far.
Or others that made it this far have long since passed on.
Or the communications technology they use is far beyond our comprehension.
Or sentient life only arises once or twice in a galaxy’s lifetime.
Or a million other possibilities that we won’t have the faintest idea about until we actually get out there and take a first hand look around 🤷♂
