Tedious Fermi Paradox

The Tedious Fermi Paradox suggests that if intelligent extraterrestrial civilizations exist, their expansion or technological signatures should be detectable over cosmic scales. Yet, despite vast universe and advanced observation, we find no clear evidence of their existence. The paradox raises questions about whether intelligent life is exceedingly rare, self-destructive, or simply not interested in interstellar communication or expansion. It emphasizes that, given the universe's age and size, the silence we observe is puzzling and prompts us to consider whether extraterrestrial civilizations are truly out there or whether our methods of detection are insufficient.
