Episode Details

A new solution to the Fermi Paradox suggests that advanced civilizations may deliberately avoid building massive, detectable empires. Instead, they could rely on autonomous AI-powered probes that quietly spread across the galaxy, carrying the knowledge needed to rebuild civilization while remaining virtually invisible.
