In this video, Brian Cox explains why the vast number of stars and planets in the galaxy makes the idea of alien life highly plausible. He highlights how our own galaxy contains billions of stars, many with their own planetary systems, increasing the likelihood of habitable environments. Cox argues that, statistically, it wouldn’t be surprising if we were visited by extra-terrestrials one day. However, he also addresses the paradox at the heart of this speculation: despite the overwhelming number of potentially life-supporting planets, we still have no direct evidence of alien life. This contradiction, known as the Fermi Paradox, raises profound questions about the nature of life in the universe, and whether advanced civilizations may be rare or even non-existent. #space #briancox #aliens #alien #universe #cosmology #cosmos #invasion #scientific #viralshort
