On today’s episode of TMWYK, we’re talking about the Fermi Paradox. There are billions of galaxies with billions of stars in the known universe, and an astronomical number of these stars are similar to our sun and have planets similar to Earth, where conditions are ripe for life as we know it. So if there is so much potential for life in the universe, why haven’t we seen any signs of it? We’ll discuss this paradox and dive into some possible explanations. And then, we're spilunking. We are going to plunge you into the deep and dark world of caves. Caves are natural openings in the ground created by erosion and tectonics. They house some of the strangest looking animals and insects as these species have learned to use the lack of light and food to their advantage like how bats use echolocation to create a detailed map of their interiors. Let's go deep on caves cause this is Tell Me What You Know.
