Given the fact that there are perhaps 400 billion stars in our galaxy alone and perhaps 400 billion galaxies in the universe, it stands to reason that somewhere out there, in the 14-billion-year-old cosmos, there is or once was a civilization at least as advanced as our own. The sheer enormity of the numbers almost demands that we accept the truth of this hypothesis. Why, then, have we encountered no evidence, no messages, no artifacts of these extraterrestrials?

Topic has always interested me and I find myself thinking about the vastness of space quite often. The narration was great! I enjoyed the well fleshed out "solutions". 75 in depth "solutions" are discussed with back ground info. This is way more than just a quick list of 75. Makes me think that any 2 or more of these acting together could very well mean we are alone in this massive universe - warps my mine to contemplate. Well done!

I love the topic and the narrator

I’d listen to this on the way to and from work and a few road trips. What an excellent book to get you thinking about the stars. 10/10!

I loved seeing all the different viewpoints on the fermi paradox could be resolved, who would have guessed that meteor impacts every 30 million years could be beneficial to life

Very interesting

Lots of things I have never considered or could have ever come up with on my own.

Mind blown.

Brilliantly and humbly put together! Stephen Webb’s collection of “solutions” to the Fermi Paradox is a treat for all regardless of your science knowledge or personal beliefs. The narration could not have been executed any better!

Complex Theories for the Masses

Like an experienced author responding to reviewers of a scientific article submitted to a high end journal, Stephen Webb analyses and weighs, on a point by point basis, all the arguments you have ever heard regarding the Fermi paradox, plus those you haven't heard and those you wouldn't have dreamt of. A real Tour de Force on question of the Fermi paradox, expertly, conducively and clearly put forth in over seventy scenarios. Even the simpler, most popular solutions to the paradox are not what they might seem prima facie. The arguments and calculations involved in dissecting each scenario are clearly explained and make total sense to the reader (listener?) within each chapter. The style is thorough, very open minded, scientifically very rigorous, yet humble and I gained much pleasure from learning so much from this book. The narration was competent, although the occasional term is mispronounced, yet that does not detract from the narrative or the science. I just found it a bit weird that a narrator with a general American accent was chosen for UK English prose, especially because some bits of the text in the first person recount the author's very British experiences. Still, a very nice listen.

A veritable tour de force

I recommend this book primarily for those, like myself who already have an interest in the topic. Not a stone left unturned.

Well Done!

Thought provoking and convincing. Incredible details that will shake your perspective on where or what we are in the universe.

Amazing Analysis

A topic so prone to late night shouting matches is well served by this encyclopedic approach.

Beautiful book, beautiful reading

Quite substantiated. The contents covered offer more than its illusory title.
Was tired of listening to black holes, parallel universes, hyperspace, quarks, gluons, Higgs particle......until I hit the hardcover version of this title in library. Although the subject contents in each chapter point directly towards the title, each chapter covers a variety of scientific concepts, know-hows, with arguments, and derivation from simple scientific principles. So it feels like getting deviated from the storyline although with a continuous derived conceptual touch on subject matters which are simply covered ad-hoc in other bestsellers.
From another perspective, other bestsellers on astronomy, particle physics, string theory related titles only confine themselves to abstract notions, without providing information from other related Physics domains.
Stephen Webb's solid attempt to cover essential scientific subjects and extend these to a higher level of thinking/understanding for a layman, simply demands more of such titles from this author.

Wish to have more such titles from the author
