why did those bjork simulations only consider one other alien life-form? what if there are millions of different alien species, and a thousand of them have enough technology to do what bjork's simulation described. i think it would be pretty groovy.



This is the Enrico Fermi's simulation or paradox , if you prefer

If our galaxi is crowded with civilized aliens colonies than the ether should be polluted of radio comunications

SETI radio telescope have been scanning the sky for many years
Not even one signal from the space has been ever received

This is the reason why mr Bjork and myself , went for a " mere scouting simulation "
rather than a more realistic " Colonization" strategy

Some scouts could be difficult to find
Colonies or outposts , relativly closed to our earth, definitly not
