30:49Now PlayingIn a seemingly infinite universe filled with billions of stars, why haven’t we heard from anyone?
That’s the mystery known as Fermi’s Paradox.
On Tuesday’s "Hot Take," we dive into the wildest theories that might explain the cosmic silence. From alien signals we may not have the technology to detect, to civilizations that wiped themselves out and the chilling "Dark Forest" theory, we break down what science can — and can’t — tell us about whether we’re alone.
Author and filmmaker Raoul Peter Mongilardi joins the show to explore the possibilities and answer your questions.
