13. The F paradox (or F's paradox) is the apparent contradiction
between high estimates of the probability of the existence of
extraterrestrial civilization and humanity's lack of contact with, or
evidence for, such civilizations.The basic points of the
argument, made by F and Michael H. Hart, are:
 The Sun is a young star.There are billions of stars in the galaxy
that are billions of years older;
 some of these stars probably have Earth-like planets which, if
the Earth is typical, may develop intelligent life;
 presumably, some of these civilizations will develop
interstellar travel, a technology Earth is investigating even
now, such as that used in the proposed 100Year Star ship;
 at any practical pace of interstellar travel, the galaxy can be
completely colonized in a few tens of millions of years.
 According to this line of thinking, the Earth should already
have been colonized, or at least visited. But no convincing
evidence of this exists. Furthermore, no confirmed signs of
intelligence elsewhere have been spotted, either in our galaxy
or in the more than 80 billion other galaxies of the observable
universe. Hence F's question, "Where is everybody?

19.  A succubus is a female demon or supernatural entity in folklore
(traced back to medieval legend) that appears in dreams and takes the

with a succubus may result in the deterioration of health or even
death.
 The male counterpart is the I. An I may pursue sexual relations with a
woman in order to father a child, as in the legend of Merlin. Religious
tradition holds that repeated intercourse with an I or succubus may
result in the deterioration of health, or even death.
 According to the Malleus Maleficarum, or "Witches' Hammer", written
by Heinrich Kramer in 1486, a succubus collects semen from the men
she seduces.The I then use the semen to impregnate human
females, thus explaining how demons could apparently sire children
despite the traditional belief that they were incapable of reproduction.
