by It's been 70 years since physicist Enrico Fermi asked his famous question: "Where is everybody?"
And yet, the tyranny of the Fermi Paradox is still with us and will continue to be until definitive evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI) is found.
In the meantime, scientists are forced to speculate as to why we haven't found any yet and, more importantly, what we should be looking for.
By focusing their search efforts, researchers hope to determine whether we are alone in the universe.
In a recent study, two researchers from the University of Liège and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) recommend that we look for evidence of transmissions from our solar system.
Based on the theory that ETIs exist and have already established a communications network in our galaxy, the team identified Wolf 359 as the best place to look for possible interstellar communications from an alien probe.
