Abstract

Often called the Fermi Paradox, the apparent failure of other intelligent species to have invited humanity to join a galactic civilization suggests that intelligence may be very rare in the cosmos, or interstellar travel is technically too difficult, or some as-yet undiscovered socio-cultural factor is at work. Based on computer simulation research originally done for the British Interplanetary Society, this chapter suggests that cultural drift may be responsible, limiting the expansion of interstellar civilizations even after several solar systems have been colonized. It shows how variables may be adjusted in multiple runs of a simulation to measure the changing range of outcomes. The chapter concludes with a simulation that models not physical colonization but radio communication in a hypothetical galaxy that already has tens of thousands of intelligent species, that may or may not evolve toward shared regional cultures.
