-
A.
Fermi paradox
chosen
The Fermi paradox is the apparent contradiction between the high probability of extraterrestrial civilizations existing in the universe and the lack of evidence or contact with them.
-
B.
Drake equation
The Drake equation is a probabilistic formula used to estimate the number of technologically advanced extraterrestrial civilizations that might exist in our galaxy.
-
C.
Great Filter
The Great Filter is a proposed explanation for the Fermi paradox suggesting that one or more extremely improbable steps in the evolution of life or civilizations drastically limit the number of advanced, spacefaring societies in the universe.
-
D.
Berserker hypothesis
The Berserker hypothesis is a proposed solution to the Fermi paradox suggesting that self-replicating killer probes or hostile civilizations systematically destroy emerging intelligent life in the galaxy, explaining our apparent cosmic silence.
-
E.
von Neumann probe
A von Neumann probe is a hypothetical self-replicating spacecraft designed to explore and potentially colonize the galaxy by using local materials to create copies of itself.
- F. None of above.
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
