The Fermi Paradox

jinx used to talk about scale being another barrier to 1st contact. Another multiplier of improbability.

If you consider the likelihood that some aliens are orders of magnitude larger than us, and some smaller.... maybe we don't register on each others' sensors.

The odds of meeting Klingons or Romulans..... 6 feet tall, bipedal, O2 breathers is almost laughable... I don't doubt that they're out there. I just doubt that we will meet them before we all get eaten by space monsters.
