Why Hibernation Theory Could Explain a Lack of Alien Life
Extraterrestrial life could exist, but it’s possible they may be oversleeping their alarm.
The Fermi Paradox is an excellent question posed by Enrico Fermi that quite simply asks: where are all the aliens?
It’s really a fantastic question. All these years have gone by yet no definitive proof has been found that aliens may be out in the universe. How can that be?
Well, theorists from all over have created their own answers to the Fermi Paradox. Some particular favorites of mine are the Great Filter and Zoo theory, though those two, the latter in particular, are a little far fetched.
Hibernation theory, or Aestivation theory, is one that actually has incredible merit.
This theory proposes that there is indeed an abundance of alien life in the universe, but relies on the fact that these civilizations are incredibly advanced.
In fact, this theoretical civilization is so advanced that they have already explored most of the known Universe and realized something crucial: the Universe is too hot.
This fact matters because one has to assume the general direction an advanced society would likely take. Look at our own technological advancements…
