We address the possibility that intelligent civilizations that destroy themselves could present
signatures observable by humanity. Placing limits on the number of self-destroyed …

The 'Fermi paradox'refers to the mismatch between a widely held expectation that advanced
technological life should be common in the Universe—recently given impetus by the …

The Great Filter interpretation of Fermi's great silence asserts that Npq is not a very large
number, where N is the number of potentially life-supporting planets in the observable …

We proffer a contemporary solution to the so-called Fermi Paradox, which is concerned with
conflict between Copernicanism and the apparent paucity of evidence for intelligent alien …

The Fermi paradox is the conflict between an expectation of a high {\em ex ante} probability
of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe and the apparently lifeless universe we in fact …

The Fermi Paradox (or Question) has moved back into central focus. This is for a number of
reasons, not least the evidence for both the abundance and antiquity of many extra-solar …

A new solution to the Fermi Paradox is presented: probes or visits from putative alien
civilizations have a very low probability until a civilization reaches a certain age (called the" …

Can astrophysics explain Fermi's paradox or the “Great Silence” problem? If available, such
explanation would be advantageous over most of those suggested in literature which rely on …

The Fermi paradox is the discrepancy between the strong likelihood of alien intelligent life
emerging (under a wide variety of assumptions) and the absence of any visible evidence for …

We seek to model the coupled evolution of a civilization and its host planet through the era
when energy harvesting by the civilization drives the planet into new and adverse climate …
