And it does. It makes perfect sense. I can see an increase in some of these diseases happening. I was fairly certain there had been some statistical base somewhere keeping track of it. I couldn't see how they couldn't really. Climate change, for instance, there's a definite correlation between vector-borne diseases and climate change. For instance, mosquitoes. Things are warming up in places where it was once cool enough where certain mosquitoes wouldn't travel. So now things are warming up. These mosquitoes that are bringing diseases with them, traveling to different areas. Certain birds as well, as things are warming up. Birds that are carrying certain diseases like ticks and fleas are coming into areas. And those ticks and fleas are carrying diseases as well. So that sort of thing too. So good information.

And the last one here for tonight is, where are all the extraterrestrials? And I always like to include something in the ScienceNet each week about extraterrestrials, even theories of where they could be, why they're not here, why they're not visiting, etc. Well, in the 1950s and even going further again in the 1970s, physicist Enrico Fermi and there was another one, Michael Hard, they came up with this recent argument that any sufficiently motivated extraterrestrials would have had adequate time to explore all the worlds in the Milky Way. And the reason that the fact we see no evidence of alien civilization just forms the basis of the Fermi-Hart paradox, in that if there's so many aliens out there, they've had time to reproduce and travel all through the solar system or through the galaxy, and if they were around longer than we've been here, then why aren't we seeing them?
