In this video, we explore humanity's longstanding fascination with the possibility of alien life, tracing back to ancient civilizations. We examine the Fermi Paradox, questioning why we haven't encountered extraterrestrial beings despite high probabilities. The Drake Equation's methodology for estimating the number of potential civilizations in our galaxy is detailed. We also discuss the Kardashev Scale for classifying alien civilizations and the concept of the Great Silence, addressing the lack of alien signals.
