Leading British space scientist Dame Maggie Aderin-Pocock argues against the notion of humans being alone in the universe, stating it reflects 'human conceit.' She emphasizes that the vastness and scale of the universe, illuminated by discoveries such as those made by Henrietta Swan Leavitt, point to the almost certainty of extraterrestrial life. Aderin-Pocock mentions that even as scientific evidence grows, our understanding of our place in the cosmos continues to evolve, highlighting humanity's insignificance against the backdrop of nearly two trillion galaxies.
Dame Maggie Aderin-Pocock asserts that believing we are the only life forms in the universe is an example of 'human conceit.'
