INITIAL RESEARCH
I've always hated science. Anything to do with numbers and equations never failed to make me question my basic intelligence. Science was a space I felt unqualified to wander in. However, that drastically changed after a night at Headlands Dark Sky Park.
​
My friend and I found a place on the beach totally encapsulated in darkness. We spent hours looking at the stars trying to differentiate the planets and constellations. Usually soft-spoken, my friend began telling me about the various probabilities of extraterrestrial life and whether they have already visited us. I know it's cliche, but this kind of speculation about nearly everything that doesn't concern us somehow made sense. Finally I felt like I understood. The Fermi Paradox combines theory with speculation, and beauty with the unknown.
​
Project Proposal:
​
List goals and objectives: What do you want to do?
-
Create a book that explores the ideas of the Fermi Paradox
-
Include my own speculation about what I think extraterrestrial life or alternate habitable planets could look like
Why is it important?
-
Science and art are undeniably entangled: we tell ourselves stories that seem to make sense and change them as we evolve
-
This is important because the way we make our own conclusions about the universe is a direct reflection about how we navigate through it
How are you going to do it?
-
Provide examples of hypotheticals from the Fermi Paradox
-
Survey friends
-
Speculate and make informed decision about which probability is most likely and why
