A brief analysis of the Fermi Paradox and the possible consequences on the study of intelligent life in the Milky Way

Abstract

A study on intelligent life in our galaxy is presented. By means of self-replicating probes, an attempt will be made to explain the Fermi Paradox, using random mutations that sim-ulate the existence of a competition between two species: explorers (prey) and predators. We will model an observed and analyzed behavior on planet Earth: the survival of two species through com-petition between themselves. Furthermore, we will implement our study along a stellar weight graph that simulates the statistical distribution of stars in the Milky Way. Everything seems to indicate that it is highly unlikely that the human species will establish contact with an high technological development extraterrestrial civilization throughout its existence
