Fermi's Paradox

The Prologue follows David Kestenbaum, a producer of the podcast, and his sadness/questions about if there is life forms other than humans. His background is that he was a physicist before becoming a journalist. The Fermi's paradox is explained as the question of if there is some sort of life forms beyond Earth, where exactly is it and why haven't we seen it yet? Apparently David has these thoughts randomly about how humans might actually be alone in the universe and how there is no greater discoveries in the universe that what is on Earth. Ultimately, he is trying to make a scientific argument and to him it upsets him to think about how humans might actually be alone in the universe.

The podcasts in the end were all put together, in my opinion, because they were all revolving around the main idea behind Fermi's paradox. To me the main idea behind Fermi's paradox is that as humans we have a limited amount of answers for unlimited amount of curiosity.

For me, I'm not sure if I should be scared or not. If there is not life beyond humans than life is the same as it always has been, but if there are life forms beyond humans I would have fear. Fear because there would be no answers to questons such as whether or not they would be our enemies, plus any other cliche alien question.

The favorite question that Rosie asks is probably "What is love?" It's my favorite because I don't think there is one clear answer because there really is not one clear example of love. Plus the fact that a 9 year old asked about love it pretty interesting.
