So wondered the great physicist Enrico Fermi. The Universe is vast and ancient. Life, he reasoned, has had plenty of time to get started – and get smart. But we see no evidence of anything alive or intelligent in space.
In the last five years, we have discovered that planets in the habitable zone of stars are common. Based on the numbers
discovered so far, there are estimated to be billions more in our galaxy alone. And there are hundreds of billions of galaxies in the visible Universe.
Yet we are still in the dark about life. Are we really alone? Or are there others out there?
It’s one of the biggest questions. And only science can answer it.
The Breakthrough Initiatives were founded in 2015 by Yuri and Julia Milner to seek scientific evidence of life in the Universe.
