Life and the Universe

This video features a panel discussion with space scientist Maggie Aderin-Pocock, the cosmologist Carlos Frenk, and the science fiction novelist Adam Roberts. They discuss the possibility of life elsewhere in the Universe and ask the question 'Are we alone in the cosmos?'. They explore ideas such as the number of exoplanets in the Universe, and the likelihood of simple and complex life-forms existing on other planets.
