The Fermi Paradox – Aug 27
Since 1950, when physicist Enrico Fermi casually posed the question, the mystery has only deepened: Why hasn't ET visited us? Current evidence and reasoning suggest that life has been evolving in the cosmos for billions of years. Moreover, low-speed interstellar travel requires relatively modest technology. So why is the UFO evidence so poor, and the success of SETI so ... negative? This special Wonderfest event will feature more "audience participation" than usual. Bring your questions — and possible answers — to address Fermi's fabulous question.
Our host and speaker is Dan Werthimer, Chief Technologist at the Berkeley SETI Research Center. Dan is a SETI pioneer who has earned Wonderfest's Carl Sagan Prize for Science Popularization.
