Opinion: in your imagination. Another opinion: This is something Enrico Fermi famously asked, several decades ago. It's usually called "Fermi's Paradox".

What problem did Enrico Fermi solve?

Fermi was a nuclear physicist who solved many problems (for example he designed a nuclear reactor). In physics there are problems that are actually named Fermi problems. These problems involve estimating quantities that are impossible to calculate. Fermi was well known for his ability to solve problems for which he had little or no data. For example, Fermi estimated the strength of atomic bob from Trinity test very accurately by using distance that pieces of paper fell from his hand during the blast.
