RE: Explaining the Fermi Paradox - Why the Universe is teeming with life but we may never make contact.
Really awesome post. I read "Fabric of the cosmos" , Brian Green and explains this concept as well. I cool concept is if we found "life" and we could look at it via telescope ( not possible) that we would be looking into the past. What ever we see is just a light memory of what was there. They have been long gone. Vice versa for anyone "viewing" us from 5,000 light years. Is that correct?
Yes, that's certainly correct. We'll be seeing 5,000 years into the past, and by the time we reach them they will be long gone. An excellent point!
