Could Fermi's Paradox be explained by quantum physics?
If quantum fuzziness increases the longer it's been since an entangling interaction with something, then presumably a planet with life could become a planet without life if left unobserved for long enough.

Not from the perspective of said life of course, since quantum effects are an observation of many universes, but if two life forms went too far apart, they might start to decay from each other's perspectives.

It'd explain why we haven't encountered a race that spans millions of galaxies despite there probably being numerous planets with life per galaxy and no obstacle to each of those planets having a good chance of eventually resulting in such a race.
