Bryan Cox — aliens no, we are alone in the universe

The biological process that led to the emergence of intelligent life on Earth, happened by a lucky chance. Professor Brian Cox believes that this was unlikely to happen again somewhere else in the Universe.

English physicist Brian Cox called a miracle the emergence of humanity as a result of merging two separate cells into one:

In this galaxy there is only one technologically advanced civilization – ours. We are unique.

Incredible. After all, there are billions of other planets that could Harbor life. However, we must be careful, because the history of life on our planet shows that the transition from unicellular life forms to more complex, may not have been inevitable, — quotes the words of the scientist newspaper the Daily Mail.

His statements were made in one of the episodes of the film "Human Universe" production "bi-Bi-si". The second accident Cox calls fall to the Ground meteorite, which destroyed the family of dinosaurs, allowing the mammals and ultimately humans to dominate the planet.

We are struggling to understand how it happened.

At the same time, scientists from Princeton University claim that people have more chances to find alien animals and plants. They suggest to look for exoplanets traces of chlorophyll, which helps plants to convert sunlight into energy. According to them, this can be done by using future telescope by NASA to study habitable exoplanets.

Astrophysicists say that people have a chance to find traces of water, oxygen and chlorophyll on an alien planet. According to NASA, our galaxy contains about a hundred million worlds, which can potentially be a life. The Agency hopes to find extraterrestrial life within the next 20 years. The probability that alien life form is discovered outside the Solar system.
