in New Mexico, right after WW II, that scientist Enrico Fermi and his co-workers Konopinski, Teller and York had a casual conversation about UFOs, that was destined to become one of the most famous conversations in the history of science.

In one version of the conversation, Fermi, Teller, Konopinski and York were having casual chatting during lunchtime.
The men were discussing a spate of recent UFO reports while walking to lunch. Konopinski remembered mentioning a magazine cartoon which showed aliens stealing New York City trash cans] and as he wrote years later, "More amusing was Fermi's comment, that it was a very reasonable theory since it accounted for two separate phenomena."
Teller remembered Fermi asking him, "Edward, what do you think? How probable is it that within the next ten years we shall have clear evidence of a material object moving faster than light?" Teller said, "10–6" (one in a million). Fermi said, "This is much too low. The probability is more like ten per cent" (which Teller wrote in 1984 was "the well-known figure for a Fermi miracle").
At lunch, Fermi suddenly exclaimed, "Where are they?" (Teller's remembrance), or "Don't you ever wonder where everybody is?" (York's remembrance), or "But where is everybody?" (Konopinski's remembrance).
Teller wrote, "The result of his question was general laughter because of the strange fact that in spite of Fermi's question coming from the clear blue, everybody around the table seemed to understand at once that he was talking about extraterrestrial life." York wrote, "Somehow . . . we all knew he meant extra-terrestrials." However, Emil Konopinski was not emphatic that he immediately knew Fermi was referring to possible aliens, merely writing, "It was his way of putting it that drew laughs from us."
Fermi died of cancer in 1954. However, in letters to the three surviving men decades later in 1984, Dr Eric Jones of Los Alamos was able to partially put the original conversation back together. He informed each of the men that he wished to include a reasonably accurate version or composite in the written proceedings he was putting together for a previously-held conference entitled "Interstellar Migration and the Human Experience."
nyway, this video wasn't made to get too much into the Fermi Paradox. We are just going to discuss one of the latest possible solutions.
