Aliens got bored: NASA scientist gives bizarre reason why aliens have stopped contacting us

A NASA astrophysicist proposes 'radical mundanity,' suggesting aliens haven't contacted us because they're not vastly superior, just slightly ahead. After exploring, they may have lost interest in making contact, finding Earth unremarkable. This theory offers a grounded explanation for the Fermi paradox, suggesting modest civilizations limited by physics and motivation.
