In 1950, during a Los Alamos lunch with some colleagues from universities, the world-famous physicist Enrico Fermi formulated a question: "If the universe is teeming with aliens, where is everybody?", reviving a much more ancient in what by then was universally known as the Fermi Paradox . The question is obviously still present, because we do not find any trace of the existence of alien civilizations in the known universe, or at least in the Galaxy? The possible answers are hundreds, all fall into two major strands: the first is the 'can-', which explains the lack of evidence of extraterrestrial civilizations in various ways, from cosmic distances so inconceivably large as to render impossible any dialogue and before that the probability of receiving signals in a timely manner, the possibility that these signals are coming but we do not know how and where to look, from the possibility that alien civilizations that while there have a degree of technological progress very different from ours (upper or lower) the possibility that these civilizations are not at all interested in making contact with other civilizations. The second area of \u200b\u200bpossible responses, is reduced to a single reality: there are, so we have no feedback.
time in which the famous Italian physicist boost demand the existence of other life forms, the alleged sightings of UFOs (Unidentified Flying Object) was at the height, in addition, the literature of science fiction has provided thousands of 'proofs' and tales of alien civilizations, beginning with the 1951 short story The Sentinel Arthur Clarke, from which it was Suddenly the original subject of the cult movie 2001 Space Odyssey , but returning to science, was blatant admission of the Vatican's chief astronomer, Jesuit Father José Gabriel Funes Argentina , agencies reported a couple of years ago about the possibility that extraterrestrial life may exist. In fact, it is interesting to note that the Fermi paradox can be taken en bloc and transferred entirely in the field of religious and philosophical speculation, taking care to change the original object into a new one: Instead of proving the existence of alien civilizations in the cosmos we will need to search for evidence of a 'higher level' and the creator: We could call the paradox of god, but we would probably still have two lines of equal content of responses, especially the second.
For those who observe the religious phenomenon from afar, from a conservative safe distance typical of atheists and agnostics, it might be a sisntesi interesting-if it were reasonable, which is not, and if it does not stink away from sectarianism-the 'response' on one or the other paradox of religion the Raelians: born in the 70s, the Raelian movement argues that life on Earth, including mankind, was 'created' by terraforming Ingenieria genetics and procedures from a highly advanced alien race that is currently waiting for us accept this reality and decide to open up and rejoin them. Those who were to turn up your nose, first consider that this 'religion' while drawing liberally from ancient religions (the name of the people is alien Elohim, and the Old Testament - and other sacred texts are taken-even the 'prophets' we know), is devoid of dogmatic rigidity of the latter about some sensitive issues such as homosexuality; but it is still true that is produced in other types of discrimination, as the hope of a new geniocrazia that excludes individuals less intellectually gifted. In any case, I wonder what he thought of Enrico Fermi.
