when I think of the Fermi paradox I often think about a time, a long time ago. A time when a man of history stood at the sea and wondered if there was any other island out there with life like his island. was it life like his or life totally different to his. To me we are still asking the same type of question. overtime his answer has been answered by a science he could never of imaged, but we are still waiting for our answer with that same science. But as its been pointed out, where and how do we look?

His paper raises even more difficult questions, which of course we have no answers to, such as is it possible that the vast expanse of the universe is so great that the laws of physics will forever prevent any life forms that do crop up, from ever being able to contact one another? Or, is it conceivable, that the events that led to our existence are so rare that there really isn’t anyone else out there?

This is also my view first we have to find them to know why we couldn't hear them and why. I also believe that with our current understanding of the laws of physics we will never know with our current search methods. As the distance we would like to be able to travel are the same for the man on the island just a dream with our understanding of our universe in our point of time.
