Quote by Paul Davies
Should we find a second form of life right here on our doorstep, we could be confident that life is a truly cosmic phenomenon. If so, there may well be sentient beings somewhere in the galaxy wondering, as do we, if they are not alone in the universe.
Summary
This quote highlights the potential significance of discovering extraterrestrial life within our own solar system. If we were to find even a glimpse of life near us, it would affirm that life exists beyond Earth and is prevalent throughout the cosmos. This realization would raise the intriguing possibility of sentient beings existing elsewhere in the galaxy, pondering the same existential question of whether they are alone in the vast universe.
