I introduce the Fermi Paradox and some of its solutions. Then I present my
own solution which includes two proposals called the Subanthropic Principle and
the Undetectability Conjecture. After discussing some consequences of this
solution, I make some comments about brane world scenarios and their potential
to strengthen the Fermi Paradox. Finally, in the appendix I have included some
questions and answers that came up during this Forum.
