From panspermia to great filter

 




Sabine Hossenfelder strikes again.

Does life come from outer space, but eventually reaches a "great filter", explaining the Fermi paradox? Microscopic life might be extremely common in the universe, but space-faring civilizations probably aren´t. Somehow, it feels like a "waste of space" if panspermia is true but almost never gives rise to a United Federation of Planets...
