Chris Lintott | Are We Special?

Learning about the Universe can be overwhelming. We know that the Earth is just one of billions of planets, the Sun just one of the hundred billion stars of the Milky Way galaxy, which is itself just one of hundreds of billions of galaxies. In this talk and discussion, astronomer and BBC The Sky at Night presenter Chris Lintott wonders whether, despite this cosmic perspective, we might just be special after all - and, if we are, what we should do about it!
