*Who is F?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 100 Year 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?

What is I?

A succubus is a female demon or supernatural entity in folklore (traced back to medieval legend) that appears in dreams and takes the form of a human woman in order to seduce men, usually through sexual activity. Religious traditions hold that repeated sexual activity 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.
