The Fermi paradox:
Statistically, given the countless amount of stars and planets in the universe, its impossible for earth to be the only planet with intelligent life. Therefore, there has to be something out there.
In addition, due to how evolution works, and Earth having ice ages and meteor strikes, its also means that there is a high likelihood for another civilization to have advanced much farther than us as their planet could have been uninterrupted (imagine humans existing since the dinosaur era and millions of years of development or even a dinosaur becoming sentient.)
And yet, despite all that math saying other civilizations should exist, we've stared at everything within hubble range and done 1000 tests on a lot of habitable planets and haven't found anything. NOTHING
Like we can't even tell if there's plants on these water planets. There is for some reason fuck all in space.
which leads to the two-sentence horror story. "all these years mankind has been sending signals looking for a reply. Finally, one was recieved "quiet, they can hear you"
