A Question with an Astronomical Amount of Answers

 When you look up in the sky and glance out into the seemingly infinite amount of stars its likely that meny questions are raised. Astronomy has numerous topics that are discussed within it; however, one tends to stand out due to the interesting possibilities it could entail and that is the question of "Is there other intellectual life in the universe?"

In this post I will talk about an issue in figuring this problem out known as The Fermi Paradox which analyzes the fact that there are billions of stars that are billions of years old and allows us to deduce that there is a very high probability that there should be other intelligent life forms out there and over the long existence of the universe they should be technologically advanced enough to communicate with us, yet as far as we know aliens have never visited or tried to communicate with us.

  1. This is a big topic. Do you think there are other intelligent life forms out there, and if so how far away? Are they like us?

  2. That last sentence is pretty long. Also, is this post finished? You said you were going to talk about this issue, but then the post ended abruptly afterwards.
