Dear All,
The Science Discovery Club will be screening the third episode "Are We Alone?" of the five part series "Human Universe" on Oct 26, 2018 in the Vikram Sarabhai Hall, Convention Centre, from 7 to 8 PM. All members of the Science Explorers Club of AECS, Staff Club of RRCAT and HBNI scholars are invited to the screening.
Episode Brief: "Professor Brian Cox explores mankind's place in the universe. He considers the possibility of alien life – could it exist and will humans ever find it? Prof. Brian discusses the Drake equation and explains the ingredients needed for an intelligent civilization to evolve in the universe – the need for a benign star, for a habitable planet, for life to spontaneously arise on such a planet and the time required for intelligent life to evolve and build a civilization. Brian weighs the evidence and arrives at his own provocative answer to the puzzle of our apparent solitude. He argues that the difficulty inherent in the development of eukaryotic cells represents such a barrier to the emergence of intelligent life that Earth may be the only planet where this has taken place in the Milky Way galaxy. In this episode Brian also tells us how Kepler observes into deep space seeking other solar systems just like our very own – How many potential 'earth-like' planets are there in the galaxy?..."
