[Good Morning, I have good news for people who like me singing song. Song-Wednesdays are returning, from now until the end of 2010. I will be doing a new song every singe Wednesday. Source: LYBIO.net I’m doing this cause I have songs stuck in my head, and its hard to get them out, unless I am motivated to do so, so I’m motivating myself through nerd-vitteria – I need you to motivate me. This song is a companion song to a video I made a while ago, a little bit awhile ago – doesn’t make any sense. I do hope you enjoy this.]
In 1950 at Los Alamos a scientist was talking with his friends
And the conversation had them all fully engrossed about this universe that almost has no end
And as they were all about to return to their study
Enrico suddenly shouted “Where is everybody?”
And he sad down and dia a few simple calculations that indicated we should’ve been visited thousands of times at least,
Based on his estimationssssss
And that’s the Fermi Paradox

If they’re out there why don’t we hear ‘em talk
The galaxy just keeps on spinnin’
With four hundred billion stars in it
And I just can’t believe that we could be unique
When there’s so much space in this galaxy
[Chorus - The Fermi Paradox - A Song]
Oh, I want Pandora’s Box
To be open but instead we’re stuck in Fermi’s Paradox
There are dozens of ways this paradox might be resolved
And you probably can think of some yourself
Maybe advanced technology rarely evolves
Or maybe God sent them all to Hell (some people really believe this)
Or maybe that technology leads to its own destruction
Or maybe species lose interest in reproduction
Or maybe they just afraid of what we’ll do when we find out
So they’re hiding until we grow a bit
And don’t have the same tendency to frequently freak ouuuuuuuut!
[Chorus - The Fermi Paradox - A Song]
Oh, that’s the Fermi Paradox
If they’re out there why don’t we hear ‘em talk
The galaxy just keeps on spinnin’
With four hundred billion stars in it
And I just can’t believe that we could be unique
When there’s so much space in this galaxy
Oh, I want Pandora’s Box
To be open but instead we’re stuck in Fermi’s Paradox
Oh, the question of whether there is more life out there.
As far as I’m concerned is moot

But it appears that the aliens do not use Foursquare
And, no, I’m not trying to be cute
Because the way that we listen is defined by our ears
And the time that we’ve been listening, just a couple dozen years
We’ll be lucky when we see them, if we notice at all
Our cosmic phone could be ringing off the hook right now
And we’re just not answering the call……
[Chorus - The Fermi Paradox - A Song]
Oh, that’s the Fermi Paradox
If they’re out there why don’t we hear ‘em talk
The galaxy just keeps on spinnin’
With four hundred billion stars in it
And I just can’t believe that we could be unique
When there’s so much space in this galaxy
Oh, I want Pandora’s Box
To be open but instead we’re stuck in Fermi’s Paradox
Oh, yeah
We’re stuck in Fermi’s Paradox
Oh, no!
We’re stuck in Fermi’s Paradox
Oh, yeah
We’re stuck in Fermi’s Paradox
[I’m excited about the return of Song-Wednesdays. I hope that you are too, and if you don’t like nerdy songs – there is nothing I can do for you, cause I can’t stop writing them. John, I will see you on Friday.]
