The Torres Solution: Information Thermodynamic Optimization and Geodynamic Drift as Resolutions to the Fermi Paradox

Abstract I wrote this hypothesis to attempt to solve the Fermi Paradox and define the Great Filter. It posits that civilizations collapse inward upon themselves instead of expanding through space. To scientifically support this framework, it utilizes Landauer's Principle, Henry's Law, among others. An AI assisted in drafting the final phrasing of the text. Keywords: Fermi Paradox, Great Filter, Landauer's Principle, Henry's Law. Author contact: [email protected]
