TV physicist: Humans are alone in the universe

Nick Reilly metro.co.uk Professor Brian Cox has said that humankind is likely to be alone in the universe, and that alien life is impossible. The TV physicist has claimed that the process that lead to the creation of humankind on earth was likely to be a fluke, and it was improbable that the process had been recreated on other planets. He blames a number of ‘evolutionary bottlenecks’ for the absence of human life on other planets, despite a huge number of them in the galaxy. He made the startling admissions in an episode of BBC’s Human Universe, adding: ‘There is only one advanced technological civilisation in this galaxy and there has only ever been one. That’s us, we are unique’.
