- The renowned physicist and science communicator, Brian Cox delves into the topic of alien life and in particular, the question about intelligent alien civilization.
With his trademark enthusiasm and engaging style, Brian Cox explores the possibility of extraterrestrial life and why we haven't found any.
The video starts with a brief overview of what Brian Cox & astronomers call: "The Great Silence". Cox then goes on to explain the Fermi Paradox and the Dark Forest Hypothesis, which suggest that intelligent life may be intentionally avoiding contact with other civilizations to avoid being destroyed.
Cox uses his expertise in physics and astronomy to explain how alien life may be closer than we think. Like on the surface of the red planet, Mars. He discusses the potential for life to exist in other planets because there are at least 20 billion other earth like planets in our galaxy alone.
Throughout the video, Cox provides easy-to-understand explanations, making complex scientific concepts accessible to a broad audience.
Whether you're a science enthusiast or simply curious about the possibility of life beyond Earth, Brian Cox's insights and knowledge are sure to captivate and inform. Don't miss out on this thought-provoking and entertaining exploration of the universe and our place within it.

Just because we haven't found them, doesn't mean they haven't found us.
It's wild to think that even if a signal was sent at the speed of light from an advanced civilisation a million light years a way, by the time we receive it, that same civilisation could have been extinct for hundreds of thousands of years.
Brian Cox and his mates have a very limited understanding based in human science.
The dark forest theory is funny to me. I can just imagine other civilisations wondering why we want to be found so much and are just shaking their heads at us knowing we’re gonna get extinguished 😂
Ants dont know we are here or can ever understand human life.... doesnt mean we are not real. We need to humble ourselfs and understand that a alien might be to us what we are to ants.... the gap might be sooo big that we could look directly at them and still not understand or see them.
Aliens roll up their windows when they pass by.
You have more chances finding intelligent life forms on Mars,than in the White House,aka World's Largest Nursing Home😂
Any alien civilization aware of us would certainly have the intelligence to not make their presence known.
The aliens are only 6" tall and we keep them as pets.
The terrifying part of about being a rare unique accident that sparked complex life out of 400 billion planets is that... we can't get along.
Aliens: "Greetings! We send this message in an attitude of peacefulness."
The fact that we have looked at what is equivalent to a cup of water from the Pacific sea of space and some people throw up their hands like "well we looked in this cup of water of space and found no intelligent life so intelligent life isn't possible " is one of the most insane proposition in science
"it could be that we're the only island of meaning in an ocean of 400 billion suns." I love how scientists and science can be so effortlessly poetic and beautiful without trying.
The way the Dark Forest is presented in Lin Cixiu's books is amazing.
Given how long it can take for complex life to form, another possibility is that alien civilisations could be about as old as our own. In this case, we both only started looking out into space very recently. It's like placing 2 people on the opposite side of an empty earth for 2 minutes and asking them why they haven't found each other yet.
The way we search for Aliens, not even knowing they are friendly, is absolutely terrifying..
Vast distances, the limited speed of light, extremely specific stable conditions, and our own lack of ability to reach/message even nearby stars, all easily explain the Fermi paradox for me.
I personally look at it as seperately picking two people anywhere on earth throughout the history of human civilization and expect them to meet eachother - only ridiculously more difficult.
I think it's pretty damn special to live in a universe on a planet at a time when Brian Cox is alive to share his knowledge and enthusiasm. 🥰
"There are 2 possibilities. Either we are alone in the universe or we are not. And either possibility is equally terrifying."
