Life in the Universe

21 Nov 2025
RVC Clinical Theatre 1

The Universe is 13.8 billion years old and, before the first stars formed, was an almost featureless mass of hydrogen and helium atoms. 13.8 billion years later, those hydrogen and helium atoms have been transformed into collections of atoms that can think and explore the Universe. How did the laws of nature give rise to life, how common is life beyond Earth and what, if anything, can we say about the number of civilisations beyond our own in the Milky Way Galaxy?
