In this fascinating journey to the edge of science, Vidal takes
on big philosophical questions: Does our universe have a beginning
and an end or is it cyclic? Are we alone in the universe? What is
the role of intelligent life, if any, in cosmic evolution? Grounded
in science and committed to philosophical rigor, this book presents
an evolutionary worldview where the rise of intelligent life is not
an accident, but may well be the key to unlocking the universe's
deepest mysteries. Vidal shows how the fine-tuning controversy can
be advanced with computer simulations. He also explores whether
natural or artificial selection could hold on a cosmic scale. In
perhaps his boldest hypothesis, he argues that signs of advanced
extraterrestrial civilizations are already present in our
astrophysical data. His conclusions invite us to see the meaning of
life, evolution and intelligence from a novel cosmological
framework that should stir debate for years to come.
