Podcast "Listen, it's easy": what is the theory of the dark forest and why we do not see aliens

In early June 2022, it became known that Japanese researchers found more than 20 types of amino acids in samples from the asteroid Ryugu. Amino acids are vital organic molecules. And now, when we know for sure that they can exist in space, we assume that millions of years ago they could have got to our planet and created our entire incredible and amazing world. With all its diversity of life forms.

And once asteroids once brought the seeds of life to Earth, nothing prevented them from “scattering” amino acids on other planets as well. And this means that people may not be alone in the universe. But even if extraterrestrial intelligence exists, it is in no hurry to contact us. This behavior is explained by various theories. This episode is about them.
