SCP 3426, Reckoner.

0:08.4

The Fermi Paradox is an idea named after the physicist Enrico Fermi, although he was certainly

0:13.8

not the first, present such a concept.

0:17.0

The idea is based on the fact that the universe contains a large number of planets capable

0:21.7

of sustaining life, and a good number of these should have intelligent life.

0:27.2

Some of those species would have naturally developed spaceflight, and some interstellar

0:31.8

spaceflight, and after millions of years would have certainly been able to traverse the

0:36.0

Milky Way. The paradox then is that there is no convincing evidence that have certainly been able to traverse the Milky Way.

0:38.0

The paradox then is that there is no convincing evidence that Earth has ever been visited

enough to traverse the galaxy.

1:08.6

This filter could be all sorts of things, and indeed it's possible that humanity is the only

species so far to make it past the filter, but the more lurid ideas associated with

1:19.4

the filter involve AI, nuclear devastation, and of course, cosmic punishment.

1:26.2

With all that explained, let's take a look at SCP 3426.

1:32.6

SCP 3426 is a phenomenon that is responsible for the total extinction of a technologically

1:38.5

and socially advanced planetary civilization, although this phenomenon may be an event, entity, process,

1:46.5

object, or concept.
