What is Enrico Fermi's connection to the Fermi Paradox?
The Fermi Paradox is named after Enrico Fermi, arising from a casual conversation he had in the 1950s questioning why, given the high probability of extraterrestrial civilizations in the galaxy, there is no evidence of, or contact with, such civilizations. While Fermi himself never formally published this query, the paradox bearing his name continues to spark debates within the scientific community regarding the existence of extraterrestrial life.
