Fermi Paradox: Let's say there is an anthill in the middle of a forest and right next to that is the construction of a ten-lane super-highway. These ants will have absolutely no understanding of what a highway is or how they are made, though the ants may experience some loud noises and rumbling while the road is being built. The Fermi Paradox states that the chances of there not being intelligence in the universe besides ourselves are far surpassed by the probability that there are. The question in regard to the ants is, will they ever understand what the highway is for? The paradox is that alien life may be so far beyond what we humans can comprehend that to us aliens way be construction workers while we are just ants.
