Chances are, we’re not alone in the universe. But if that’s true — why can’t we seem to find our neighbors?

This question is known as the Fermi paradox, and it continues to go unsolved. However, some theories could offer potential solutions.

Physicist Brian Cox explains the paradox and walks us through our best guesses as to the reason for our quasi-isolation.

Did you know that if we could travel to each galaxy in one second, it would take us 63,376 years to visit just the two trillion galaxies in the observable universe? Scientists believe that the observable universe is only 5% of the whole universe. Our own Milky Way galaxy has 400 billion stars, and it takes light thousands of years to travel from one galaxy to another. What's even more astonishing is that the universe is expanding in all directions at a speed faster than the speed of light.

Modern Science explains the origin of the universe with the Big Bang Theory.
According to this theory, our world emerged from the explosion of singularity, a point in space-time where energy density and mass approach infinity, and all dimensions reach zero.
But Recently, Brian Cox has made a bold announcement stating that the universe has always existed and the Big Bang Theory is wrong.

Are We Alone in The Galaxy? Brian Cox on Alien Life
Subscribe to Science Time: https://www.youtube.com/sciencetime24

It is one of the most intriguing questions in all of science...Are we alone?
There are about 300 million planets in our galaxy alone that might support life as we know it. By the sheer number of these planets it can be argued that we are most likely not unique in the galaxy. Brian Cox thinks that there must be intelligent civilizations out there, although they might be extremely rare when we consider the rise of intelligent life here on Earth.

Imagine intelligent civilizations are prevalent throughout the lifespan of the galaxy. There had to be a first civilization. Asking: Are we alone? Only in their case the answer would be, yes. But maybe, that civilization is us.

What properties are fundamental to the universe? On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice take a deep dive into multiverses, inflation theory, wormholes, and quantum entanglement with particle physicist Brian Cox.

How different would the universe be if gravity were stronger? We explore what adjusting fundamental properties of nature would do and if the universe would even be able to form. What happens to the luminosity of a star when you change the gravitational constant? What is luminosity? Learn about Brian’s multi-city tour Horizons where he explores questions of the universe.

Is it possible that the laws of physics could be different beyond this universe? Are there galaxies beyond our horizon? We discuss the theory of internal inflation and bubble universes and how other universes could be different from our own. What is the underlying law of our universe? We break down string theory, quantum mechanics, and the many ways we could’ve arrived at the universe we now have. Can you really time travel through wormholes?

Are there microscopic wormholes? Find out what Albert Einstein, Nathon Rosen, and Kip Thorne all thought of wormholes. If there were permitted time travel would that mean there is no free will? Brian spoils the movie Interstellar and we learn about quantum entanglement. Could space and time be derived from something deeper? Could it be that entanglement is the fundamental thing that produced space? Is there an edge of the universe? How far are we from it? Just like an electron microscope, could we make a quark microscope to see things seven smaller? Could we someday see the strings from string theory?

Brian Cox - What's The Biggest Mystery in The Universe?
SUBSCRIBE to "Science Time": https://www.youtube.com/sciencetime24

English physicist and professor of particle physics Brian Cox explains some of the biggest mysteries in the universe.

Modern physics has given us a glimpse of what the true nature of the universe is. But there is still so much more to explore. One big mystery in science today is the The matter-antimatter asymmetry problem. But to better understand this complex issue we have grasp the nature of antimatter.

Brian Cox explains what antimatter is and how it's made at the LHC.

The Big Bang should have created equal amounts of matter and antimatter in the early universe. But today, everything we see from the smallest life forms on Earth to the largest stellar objects, is made almost entirely of matter. Comparatively, there is not much antimatter to be found. Something must have happened to tip the balance. One of the greatest challenges in physics is to figure out what happened to the antimatter, or why we see an asymmetry between matter and antimatter.

Our universe is a beautiful, elegant and strange, mysterious place at the same time. It has baffled curious minds since the very first humans gazed into the night sky and wondered what's out there.

While physicists can confidently say what happened a billionth of a second after the big bang, the vast majority of the universe remains unknown. In fact, we only understand about 5% of the total composition of the universe, which is ordinary matter. The other 95% which consists of dark matter and dark energy, remains in the realm of unexplained cosmic phenomenon.

What is the universe made of? How did it come into existence? Was there anything before it?
Where did the laws of nature come from? As difficult as these questions are, scientists are grappling and attempting to address them with bold new ideas - and new experiments. By combining mathematical models with observations, they are able to develop workable theories of how the Universe came to be.

Over and over again, the universe has proven to be far stranger and more complex than we can even begin to imagine. Astronomers have put forth numerous hypotheses and explanations of the origin of the universe.

The Big Bang theory is the prevailing cosmological model explaining the existence of the observable universe. It postulates that the universe began in a tremendous explosion about 13.8 billion years ago. During those earliest­ moments, the universe was filled with energy, much of it in the form of intense heat. As the universe grew and cooled, some of this energy transformed into matter. We once thought that atoms were the most fundamental building blocks of matter. Today, we know that atoms are made of many smaller pieces, known as subatomic particles.

Professor Brian Cox is a British physicist and professor of particle physics at the University of Manchester. He investigates the universe’s biggest questions and explains what these particles are and their role in the creation of the universe.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, the way the universe is viewed has changed dramatically. As of September 2021, more than 4800 planets have been discovered orbiting distant stars. Black holes are now known to be present at the center of most galaxies, including the Milky Way galaxy. The age, size and shape of the universe have been mapped based on the primordial radiation left by the big bang. And it has been learned that most of the matter in the universe is dark and invisible, and the universe is not only expanding, but accelerating in an unexpected way.

Stephen Hawking’s approach to the universe considers space-time to be a hologram in which the geometry of the entire past would project off of the present. Brian Cox also agrees with that we might be holograms and suggests that it is possible the universe might not be at all as we perceive it to be. But more on that in another video.

Brian Cox - Solving The Fermi Paradox: Intelligent Alien Life in Our Galaxy
Subscribe to Science Time: https://www.youtube.com/sciencetime24

Brian Cox explains the details behind the Fermi Paradox and why we haven't yet found intelligent alien life.

The more interesting kind of life we hope to discover that would change our worldview for ever is multi-cellular life such as plants or animals.

Obviously the most exciting type on the hierarchy of alien life is intelligence. It is estimated that with our current pace of technological growth a civilization can colonize our whole galaxy within 10 million years. And if that is the case...Where is everybody?

Brian Cox also mentions the importance of realizing our value if we are indeed alone in the galaxy.

Brian Cox - Is The Universe Infinite?
Subscribe to Science Time: https://www.youtube.com/sciencetime24

Brian Cox talks about the possibility of the Universe being infinite. Of course the question, does the cosmos go on forever, is an age old question in philosophy and science.

The observable universe is finite in that it hasn't existed forever. It extends 46 billion light years in every direction from us.
But what lies beyond the observable Universe?
Brian Cox explains how big the Universe really is.

What we know for certain is that the Universe is bigger than we observe it to be, essentially because the farthest edges of the universe we can see don’t look like edges at all. The observable universe is still huge, but of course it has limits. That’s because we know the universe isn’t infinitely old. We know the Big Bang occurred some 13.8 billion years ago.

Brian Cox - Is The Whole Universe Inside a Black Hole?
Subscribe to Science Time: https://www.youtube.com/sciencetime24

Professor Brian Cox explains the science behind black holes and the beginning of the universe.
Virtually all cosmologists and theoretical physicists endorse the idea that our universe started with the Big Bang. However, problems with dark matter, dark energy, and cosmic expansion have some astronomers rethinking what we know about the early universe.

Our Universe appears to be expanding and cooling, having originated some 13.8 billion years ago in a hot Big Bang. However, it's plausible that what we see from inside our Universe is simply the result of being inside a black hole. This is one of the most fascinating, and yet least discussed, possibilities in modern physics.

Brian Cox and James Beacham discuss the possibility of our whole universe existing inside a black hole.

Brian Cox - What Was There Before The Big Bang?

Physicist and professor of particle physics Brian Cox explains hypotheses about the causation of the big bang. Brian Cox is a brilliant scientist who makes complex cosmological concepts like the big bang way more easy to understand.

In the beginning, there was an infinitely dense, tiny ball of matter. Which started to expand and would eventually give rise to the atoms, molecules, stars and galaxies we see today.
But what was there before the big bang? What was the state of the universe before...Well, everything?

Brian Cox explains how inflation fueled by a mysterious form of energy that permeated empty space itself, left the universe desolate and cold. And only after that did the hot, dense conditions of the Big Bang emerge.

If cosmic inflation correctly describes what happened before the Big Bang, it may push the ultimate answer to the question of where we came from beyond the reach of science.

Brian Cox also mentions alternative theories to cosmological inflation which tell us what caused the initial conditions that would eventually give rise to the big bang.

The twin pillars of modern physics are Einstein’s General Relativity and quantum theory.
To understand how the big bang emerged and what came before it, it is essential to unite Einstein’s theory with quantum theory.

The most distant objects in the Universe are 47 billion light years away, making the size of the observable Universe 94 billion light years across.

If you are wondering, how can the observable universe be larger than the time it takes light to travel over the age of the Universe? The answer is because the universe has been expanding during this time.

And this causes very distant objects to be further away from us than their light travel time.
Most scientists think the entirety of the universe extends way beyond the observable universe. But is there anything beyond the entirety of the universe?

Brian Cox also explains if there is anything beyond our known universe and how it will "end".

Delving into the mysteries of our universe, join Professors Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw to celebrate the release of their new book Black Holes: The Key to Understanding the Universe.

At the heart of the Milky Way there is a distortion in the fabric of the Universe. Caused by something 4 million times bigger than the Sun, it is where space and time are so warped that everything within 12 million kilometres is trapped. This region of no return, where even light is swallowed, is bounded by an event horizon, and inside lies the end of time. It is a supermassive black hole.

Black holes are the most extraordinary and intellectually challenging naturally occurring objects found anywhere in the universe. They are the ghost of a collapsed star. Originally thought to be so intellectually troubling that they simply did not exist, it is only in the past few years that we have reached a point where we can begin to explain just what is going on in a black hole: from worm holes to information theory.

In conversation for this incredible event, Brian and Jeff will take a one-way journey into the very centre of a black hole, how they are formed, why they are essential components of every galaxy, including our own, and what secrets they still hold, waiting to be discovered. This virtual event is sure to be one that will open your eyes to the true wonder of the Universe.

Please note that interactive elements of the stream will not work, as this event was originally broadcast live on 4 Oct 2022.
