What is the origin of the universe? Are we alone in the Universe?
Using clear and plain language, the author explores these two
interesting scientific-philosophical themes with a broad range of
studies, including astronomy, cosmology, chemistry, biology,
geology and planet science.The first part discusses the origins of
everything, from the Big Bang to humankind. It follows the long
course of evolution - from original matter to the formation of more
complex structures, from the furthest galaxies to the nearest
stars, from planets to organic molecules, from the first and most
elementary forms of life through to the reptiles, the dinosaurs and
the advent of man.The second part traces the history of the Earth
and evaluates the risks of extinction in the future as predicted by
scientists. Is the Earth the only habitable planet in the Universe?
This question initiates the discussion on the importance of the
Earth's position in the solar system and the significance of our
geologically alive planet.The final part is dedicated to the search
for extraterrestrial beings with identifiable life forms. It also
describes attempts for searching, from the past to the near
future.This remarkable book provides the best answers we have to
the epic questions about us and our place in the universe.
