Geography[edit]

The geography section reads like an opinion essay arguing in favor of ETH. It seems clear to me that it conflicts with Wikipedia's policies. I'm curious as to why it hasn't been altered or removed.

Do you mean that scientists are forbidden to argue in favor of a hypothesis. The things I learn from Wikipedia!

Fermi Paradox[edit]

IMHO, the Fermi paradox ought to be addressed here somehow, especially in light of recent revelations regarding billions and billions of recently discovered habitable planets.

Any ideas regarding treatment? Kortoso (talk) 20:07, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. I think the Fermi paradox should be referenced. Not extensively, but with one or two sentences. It could fit into the "opinions of scientists" section. Perhaps elsewhere. Use your best judgment.--GodBlessYou2 (talk) 22:58, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Only if some reliably published sources have made such a connection WP:OR, and only if it represents a significant portion of the voices in the discussions. WP:UNDUE -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 01:00, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The connection is made in many, if not most of the sources identified in Fermi Paradox, for example here. Fermi's proposition of his paradox was a direct argument against giving credence to the claims of UFO sightings.--GodBlessYou2 (talk) 03:30, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It's a slightly old discussion but considering that the article currently only includes a see-also link to it, I agree that more relevant coverage would be adequate. While the fermi paradox allows the possibility of the universe being populated with other life, it at the same time explains why two civilizations are unlikely to ever discover eachother, considering the rarity and distance in space and/or time. —PaleoNeonate – 10:58, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
