The Terrifying Reason We Are Alone in the Universe — Solving the Fermi Paradox

In 1961, scientists calculated that our galaxy should be teeming with intelligent civilizations. Sixty-four years later, we've heard nothing. Not silence from emptiness. Silence by choice. A radical hypothesis from Oxford physicists suggests the most advanced civilizations in the universe aren't gone, they're dormant. Waiting for the universe to cool down. Because according to a fundamental law of physics, every computation performed today wastes 10³⁰ times more energy than it will in the far future. The rational move isn't to act. It's to sleep. For trillions of years. Disclaimer: This video is intended for educational and entertainment purposes.
