The Frightening Conclusion of the Fermi Paradox: Humanity Might Be Inside a Giant Fish Tank
Is Humanity the Only Civilization in the Universe?
In 2003, the previously stable Pioneer 10 probe suddenly encountered a powerful burst of electromagnetic radiation. After transmitting a bizarre signal, Pioneer 10 went silent and has been lost ever since.
NASA explained the loss as due to battery depletion, but they did not foresee that this incident would spark a highly controversial unsolved mystery.
After Pioneer 10 lost contact, almost every probe passing through that region experienced interference from unknown signals. By analyzing the data from multiple probes, scientists uncovered something eerie.
Our solar system is enveloped by a mysterious spherical force field. This area, known as the “Oort Cloud,” consists of trillions of comets that surround the solar system in every direction. It acts both as a protective barrier and a spherical prison.
Scientists are uncertain about the origins of the Oort Cloud.
Imagine your building being surrounded by a gigantic balloon. How would that feel?
