What if the actual Fermi bottleneck is that the expanding civilizations foolishly build lots of satellites and cause themselves a Kessler effect and loose access to the space? That's why they don't send any probes and their signals are too weak.

pls know that Fluxer is AI/LLM slop and y'all should not be moving to it from Discord. Harmony, on the other hand, is firmly anti-AI and improving each day. Not a dev, just a fan. https://fermi.chat/ (Fermi is Harmony's main client)

Given a recent USA headline about how the new crop of incoming freshmen college students can't even read well enough to read a complete sentence, I had a sudden burst of inspiration. I believe I have solved a long-standing scientific problem.
It's the Fermi paradox: given how we think intelligent life evolved from sterile chemicals on a primordial Earth, and that there are billions of planets capable of the same sort of process, even if a tiny proportion of those potential sources did go on to bring forth intelligent life, there should be many - thousands, maybe millions - that *did* give rise to intelligent life.
The paradox is, given all these intelligent species out there, why have we heard from precisely zero of them?
There are lots of theories as to why this is. The most pessimistic ones tend to say that intelligent life inevitably does something to eliminate itself, (geologically) soon after becoming intelligent, so they aren't around long enough for them to send messages, or they do so for such a tiny window of time that it doesn't overlap with *our* tiny window. Causes: nuclear war, #environmental #catastrophe, etc.
I now believe that it's simpler: a society of intelligent life eventually invents #LLMs / "AI", and then deskills itself so rapidly in a race to the bottom of the effort-skill curve that they no longer exist, or at least not at a level to be capable of sending messages to us.
We're doing it now.

@jpm funny you mention . μWave, I had the chance to meet this fella, early 90s in Adelaide.
For reasons unbeknown it fell through, it would have been cool to talk about his time with Rutherford at the Cavendish Lab Cambridge; Asked some Q’s on the Cavity Magnetron pointed at Axis aircraft; MAUD, U235 and the nuclear program.
<https://ahf.nuclearmuseum.org/ahf/profile/mark-oliphant/>
I’m sure there were no qualms firing a 10cm beam on enemy aircraft but Oli would have cautioned pointing RF at bike riders.

Fermi individua il motore nascosto dietro le supernove superluminose
#fermi #supernovae superluminose
@astronomiaNuove osservazioni nei raggi gamma effettuate dal telescopio spaziale Fermi suggeriscono che le stelle di neutroni ultramagnetiche, note come magnetar, potrebbero alimentare le supernove superluminose, una rara categoria di esplosioni stellari con luminosità di picco da 10 a 100 volte superiori a quelle delle supernove standard da collasso del nucleo.

Oh no! The President Donald J. #Trump Advanced #Energy and Intelligence Campus is in trouble

#Fermi had blown that $746 million from the IPO and was running out of money. They admitted to shareholders they might have to sell some of the power plant gas turbines so they didn’t run out of liquid cash.

Eine Erklärung nix mitzubekommen von Anderen im Weltall ist:
Zivilisationen sterben bevor sie interstellar bemerkbar werden.Da die EU aktuell beschließt leise E-Autos mit Motorenlärm aus Lautsprechern zu ermöglichen bin ich absolut sicher:
Unsere Zivilisation hat keine Chance, wir werden Testosteron-besoffen in den Orkus ejakuliert werden wo Dobrindt schon wartet und Ausweise verlangt.

Data acquired by the #Fermi space telescope and the #HESS network of ground-based telescopes have enabled an international team of researchers to demonstrate the contribution of the #Westerlund 1 star cluster to the evolution of our #galaxy, the Milky Way: the hundreds of massive #stars that make up the cluster generate a powerful wind of elementary particles whose interactions result in the emission of gamma rays around the cluster and beyond.

#KnowledgeBit : The #Fermi #Paradox, named after Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi, is the apparent contradiction between the lack of evidence for extraterrestrial civilizations and various high estimates for their probability (such as some optimistic estimates for the Drake equation).

Fermi individua un giovane ammasso stellare che emette bolle di raggi gamma
Per la prima volta, gli astronomi che utilizzano Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope hanno tracciato un nascente deflusso di gas proveniente da un ammasso di stelle giovani nella nostra galassia — risultati che aiutano a comprendere come l’universo si sia evoluto.
