Summary

The possibility that aliens might be regularly visiting Earth is one of the most popular Fermi Paradox solutions. In this episode we will look at UFOs and flying saucers theories and arguments, as well as examining the logic and possible motives of such extraterrestrial visitors.

0:00.0	Hello, SFIA audio listeners. In this month's Nebula exclusive, big alien theory,
0:05.2	we're asking the reason alien civilizations might be rare is because most aliens are huge.
0:10.5	To hear it and every episode early and ad-free, plus hours of bonus content,
0:15.1	check out go.nebola.tv slash Isaac Arthur and use my code, Isaac Arthur.
0:20.4	This episode is sponsored by Brilliant.
0:23.8	Stephen Hawking once said, if the government is covering up knowledge of aliens,
0:28.6	they are doing a better job of it than they do at anything else.
0:32.4	As we'll see today, we might want to consider what that would imply about alien governments too.
0:40.0	In a previous episode of our alien civilization series, we looked at hidden aliens, hypothetical
0:45.3	civilizations that try to hide from their neighbors, usually out of fear or a desire
0:50.2	to be left alone.

1:04.9	presence a secret from us, or at least from most of us. We'll focus mostly on that today, but we won't be limiting ourselves just to examples of aliens
1:14.2	visiting civilizations like our own, far less advanced than theirs, and stuck on one lonely
1:19.8	planet in a vast galaxy.
1:22.6	Now if you're a regular of the channel, you know SFIA spends a lot of time discussing
1:27.1	the Fermi paradox,
1:28.8	the apparent contradiction between the vast size and age of the universe, and the seeming
1:33.5	absence of any other intelligent life in it.
1:36.9	As we've stated before, none of the proposed solutions is without some major flaws,
