Galactic exploration by directed Self-Replicating Probes, and its implications for the Fermi paradox (1206.0953v2)

Published 5 Jun 2012 in physics.pop-ph

Abstract: This paper proposes a long term scheme for robotic exploration of the galaxy,and then considers the implications in terms of the Fermi paradox' and our search for ETI. We discuss the parameter space of thegalactic ecology' of civilizations in terms of the parameters T (time between ET civilizations arising) and L, the lifetime of these civilizations. Six different regions are described.
