Discussion Questions:
1) In class and in your readings weve encountered the famous idea referred to as Fermis Paradox describe briefly what this idea is about, and discuss at least one scientifically plausible solution to this paradox. What do you think is behind the great silence?
2) Many works of both fiction and non-fiction have addressed the issue of how humans both individually and as societies would react to so-called first contact with an intelligent alien species. Reflect for a moment on your own feelings on this matter suppose we discovered clear and indisputable evidence of the existence of an intelligent alien species living in a nearby planetary system. How would you react to that knowledge? What (if anything) would change about your worldview?
