Episode Description
Could the reason for the "Great Silence" be that no extraterrestrial civilizations want to communicate? Perhaps they're afraid of giving their position away and would rather play it safe.
This is the basis of the Dark Forest Hypothesis, which comes from the book of the same name by famed SF author Liu Cixin.
