Why We Don't See Aliens: The Great Filter & The Cosmic Paradox

Why We Don't See Aliens: The Great Filter & The Cosmic Paradox | Sleep Entangled


In a universe containing two trillion galaxies, each harbouring hundreds of billions of stars, we find ourselves in profound silence. Not a single signal. Not one visitor. This is the Great Silence—and it may be the most important mystery humanity has ever faced. Tonight, drift into deep cosmic contemplation as we explore the Fermi Paradox, the Great Filter hypothesis, Why We Don't See Aliens and what our isolation might reveal about civilisation's survival in an ancient universe.

Join us as we examine why intelligent life might be extraordinarily rare, explore the terrifying possibility that most civilisations destroy themselves shortly after developing technology, and consider alternative explanations from the Zoo Hypothesis to the Dark Forest theory. We'll journey through the Drake Equation, investigate potential filters in Earth's past, confront the existential risks that may await us, and contemplate what our cosmic loneliness means for humanity's future. This is science as meditation—rigorous, profound, and perfect for thoughtful rest.

Welcome to Sleep Entangled, where the deepest questions of existence become pathways to peaceful contemplation. If you find wonder in these cosmic mysteries, subscribe and let curiosity guide your nights.
