Scientists Finally Solved The Fermi Paradox - And It’s Not Good

The Universe has been around for 13.8 billion years. Human beings originated 200,000 years ago, so we’ve only been around for % of the age of the Universe. An intelligent species could arise on any one of those countless worlds, and broadcast their existence to the entire galaxy. Once a species developed interstellar travel, they could completely colonize our galaxy within a few tens of millions of years; just a heartbeat in the age of the Universe. So where are they? As far as we know, Earth is the only place in the Universe where life has arisen, let alone developed an intelligent civilization.
