For many thousands of years, human beings have been asking
themselves whether they are more frightened of being alone in the
universe or of the thought that there is someone else out there.
Over the past few decades, however, we have moved from imagination
to action, exploring the cosmos using new techniques, often with
surprising results. Numerous fascinating but little known facts
have emerged - for example, that every year many rocks from Mars
fall on the Earth, that one of our amino acids has been found in
the coma of a comet, and that some of the known thousands of
extrasolar planets are similar to our own. There are further
exciting and important discoveries around the corner that will cast
more light on the great enigma of how life started on Earth. In
this intriguing book, one of the World's leading researchers in
astrophysics and space science examines fundamental questions
concerning life on Earth and the rest of the cosmos in an
accessible and stimulating way.
