Lonely Minds in the Universe

By Giancarlo Genta

Book Overview

The possibility that humans are not alone in the Universe is one of the most intriguing unanswered questions for mankind. Distant Encounters provides a discussion of the scientific and technical implications, including possible faster-than-light space travel and radio communication, as well as the philosophical and religious ones of extraterrestrial intelligent life. It gives a summary of the chemical and biological evolution of the Universe to demonstrate, as a counterbalance to the 'rare earth' theory, why intelligent life might exist somewhere else in the Universe, apart from on Earth.
