A Silent Universe: Why Alien Life Is Inevitable and Contact Is Not

By DJ Thornton

Alien life almost certainly exists. In a universe defined by immense age, scale, and chemical abundance, its emergence elsewhere is not remarkable. What is remarkable is the expectation that such life should ever intersect with us. Questions like "Where is everyone?" underestimate the roles of distance, time, geometry, and scale - forces that make non-overlap the default condition of the cosmos. A Silent Universe argues that even with advanced technology, contact is not the natural outcome. It shows why a universe full of life can still appear permanently silent, and why that silence makes sense once its constraints are understood.
