-
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.
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.
-
C.
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.
-
D.
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.
-
E.
Communication with Extraterrestrial Intelligence
"Communication with Extraterrestrial Intelligence" is a seminal work edited by Carl Sagan that explores the scientific, technical, and philosophical challenges of contacting and understanding intelligent life beyond Earth.
- F. None of above.
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
