A.P.Polo - "Fermi-Paradoxon" - Hamburg-St.Georg (Germany) - Photograph / Mixed Media / Digital Art - Long-term exposed photo taken at night in my hometown Hamburg from different artificial light sources. Afterwards it was manipulated with software. The Fermi paradox is named after physicist Enrico Fermi and refers to the apparent contradiction between the lack of evidence for and the high probability estimates of the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations. The basic points of the argument, made by physicists Enrico Fermi (1901–1954) and Michael H. Hart (born 1932), are: There are billions of stars in the galaxy that are similar to the Sun, and many of these stars are billions of years older than the Solar system. With high probability, some of these stars have Earth-like planets, and if the Earth is typical, some may have developed intelligent life. Some of these civilizations may have developed interstellar travel, a step the Earth is investigating now. Even at the slow pace of currently envisioned interstellar travel, the Milky Way galaxy could be completely traversed in a few million years. According to this line of reasoning, the Earth should have already been visited by extraterrestrial aliens. Fermis name is linked because of a casual conversation he had in the Summer of 1950 with fellow physicists Edward Teller, Herbert York, and Emil Konopinski. While walking to lunch, the men happened to discuss recent UFO reports, a humorous cartoon, and the possibility of faster-than-light travel. The conversation moved on to other topics, until during lunch Fermi suddenly said, "Where are they?"A.P.Polo is a visual artist from Spain who lives and works in Hamburg-St.Pauli.
