What do you think could be out there in the universe? 💫
Speaking on BBC One's Sunday Morning, Professor Brian Cox has said that Earth could be “the only place” in the universe with life forms intelligent enough to form civilisation.
The physicist believes that “things like us may be extremely rare”, whilst microbial life forms could well be common. His thoughts come after US Congressman Andre Carson made comments earlier this week that UFOs are “a potential national security threat” which are “real” and “need to be investigated”.On BBC One’s Sunday Morning, he said: “If you forced me to guess, I would say there may be microbes all over the place, that’s why we’re looking for life on Mars, for example, but in terms of intelligence, one thing to think about, the origin of life on Earth, it looks like we have good evidence life was present 3.
“So it took the best part of four billion years to go from the origin of life on Earth to a civilisation. That’s a third of the age of the age of the universe, and that is a long time, so that may indicate that microbes may be common, but things like us may be extremely rare.
