Fermi's Tidbit refers to a thought experiment associated with physicist Enrico Fermi, illustrating the paradox of why we have not yet encountered extraterrestrial civilizations despite the vastness of the universe. It stems from the question, "Where is everybody?" suggesting that given the high probability of life elsewhere, we should have observed signs of it by now. This leads to various hypotheses about the nature of extraterrestrial life, including the possibility that intelligent civilizations are rare, self-destructive, or simply choosing not to contact us.
