Who proposed fermi paradox

Enrico Fermi, a prominent figure in the scientific community, played a
pivotal role in shaping our understanding of both the atomic world and
the cosmos. His involvement in the Manhattan Project during World
War II, where the atomic bomb was developed, ignited his interest in
space. The project led him to contemplate the immense energy released
in nuclear reactions, a process which occurs in stars.

This connection between nuclear physics and astrophysics sparked his
curiosity about the universe. Furthermore, Fermi made significant
contributions to the study of cosmic rays, high-energy particles originating from space,
further advancing the field of astrophysics.
