The Farmy Paradox: Are We Alone in the Universe?

The podcast episode explores the Fermi Paradox, which questions why, given the vastness and age of the universe, we have yet to observe evidence of extraterrestrial civilizations. The episode discusses various theories and potential explanations for the paradox. One suggestion is that advanced civilizations are in a state of hibernation or estivation until the universe cools down, while others propose that we are being observed and kept in a cosmic zoo. The episode also examines the possibility that civilizations may face challenges in interstellar travel or have chosen to remain quiet, leading to our lack of contact with them.
