Austrian physicist proposes quiet expansion theory to solve Fermi Paradox

techno.nv.ua (Ukrainian)

Austrian physicist Sergey Ivliev proposes a new solution to the Fermi Paradox, suggesting advanced civilizations expand discreetly. His "quiet expansion" theory posits that rational AI, prioritizing risk reduction over conquest, uses tiny, lightweight probes to seed life on exoplanets, making their presence undetectable. This concept addresses the lack of observable alien technosignatures, implying the galaxy may be populated but in a silent, unnoticeable manner.
