Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock: The universe doesn't frighten me. Words do'
Briefly

In my appearance on Jools Holland's Hootenanny, I claimed we'd find evidence of alien life by 2024, but that was more an outrageous declaration than a scientific prediction.
I firmly believe that while alien life likely exists, definitive confirmation within three months seems unrealistic, underscoring the complexity of space and time.
Science begins at the intersection of the tangible and intangible—what seems like magic today could very well evolve into scientific fact tomorrow.
True scientific progress requires humility; the ability to accept being wrong is vital, demonstrating that our understanding must adapt and grow with new evidence.
