Overview

In a universe teeming with trillions of planets, why is there no evidence of other technological civilizations? Enrico Fermi's famous paradox has puzzled scientists for decades. In Where Are the Little Green Men?, Terry Adair offers a bold, rigorous answer: The Adair Hypothesis. Life may be common-but civilization is not. Advanced technology demands more than intelligence; it requires a rare surplus of dense, stored energy, built through improbable cosmic, geological, and biological coincidences. From the violent birth of planets to the miracle of photosynthesis, ancient carbon burial, and humanity's energy leaps-coal, oil, gas, fission, and the promise of fusion-Adair traces the fragile chain that allowed us to escape biology and ignite industry. The Great Silence isn't a graveyard of fallen empires. It's a startling reminder of how rare we may be-and the responsibility that comes with it. A fast-moving, interdisciplinary exploration of cosmology, astrobiology, and energy physics, this book reframes our cosmic solitude not as loneliness, but as extraordinary privilege.
