Aliens: The Big Think

The quest to find extraterrestrial life is underway! After an illustrious career in cosmology, Professor Martin Rees, the Astronomer Royal, has embarked on the search for alien life forms. The pursuit of aliens has moved beyond the realm of science fiction and has become a topic that captivates some of the brightest scientific minds. As our understanding of the cosmos expands, we are edging closer to uncovering answers. Many researchers now believe our galaxy contains a billion planets similar to Earth, potentially brimming with life. But what form does this life take? Have any of these life forms evolved into entities with whom we could communicate? This film delves into the thoughts of scientists exploring one of the most thrilling and profound questions: are we alone in the universe? Professor Rees suggests that our concept of aliens might be entirely mistaken. If his theory holds true, we should be searching not for organic extraterrestrials, but for machines.
