Brian Cox Explains Why All Efforts To Search For Aliens Will Ultimately Proves Futile?

Why the search for Aliens is still searching after long years of searching and waiting?

This is the question that most of us wondering and will lead to another question like "Do aliens really exist?"

Professor Brian Cox who is best known in presenting Stargazing Live and Wonders Of The Universe, believes it is unlikely we will ever succeed in encountering aliens - because intelligent life has a propensity to destroy itself not long after it evolves.

Cox explains in Sunday Times his point "Why All Efforts To Search For Aliens Will Ultimately Proves Futile?"

As Cox was addressing one of astronomy's great mysteries: why, given the estimated 200bn-400bn stars and at least 100bn planets in our galaxy, are there no signs of alien intelligence?

"Mankind's search for alien civilizations may never succeed, because intelligent life destroys itself not long after it evolves," Professor Brian Cox has suggested.

Since 1950, Enrico Fermi posed that problem and birthed the Fermi paradox. The Fermi paradox is obviously named after him.

Enrico Fermi, the physicist who built the first nuclear reactor. He pointed out that any civilization with even primitive rocket technology could colonize the galaxy in a few million years. "Where is everybody?" he asked.

This paradox is a result of the apparent contradiction between the lack of evidence and high probability. From then on, it stems on different questions like "why are there no signs of alien intelligence given that there are an estimated 400 billion stars and at least 100 billion planets in our galaxy?"

And given that the galaxy is 10,000 million years old, Fermi suggested we should have detected alien life by now - a debate which has fascinated scientists ever since.

Cox suggested that one solution to the Fermi paradox is that it is not possible to run a world that has the power to destroy itself and that needs global collaborative solutions to prevent that.

"It may be that the growth of science and engineering inevitably outstrips the development of political expertise, leading to disaster. We could be approaching that position."

Cox pointed out also that "What does a scientist want to be?" "Do we want to be right? Or do we care about understanding nature? If it is the latter, we should be delighted to be proven wrong."

After all of Cox explanation, the search for all the questions
