If habitable zones are everywhere, why isn't the galaxy humming with radio chatter by now?
The thread explores solutions to the Fermi Paradox. One response argues that radio silence doesn't indicate absence of life, but rather that civilizations quickly advance beyond radio technology to methods like quantum entanglement - so we're searching with outdated tools.

The Great Silence might just mean radio is a dead-end technology - civilizations probably move past it in a few centuries. We're looking for 1950s-era signals in a galaxy full of beings using quantum entanglement or whatever comes next.
