Starting from the question of whether living things on Earth are alone in the universe, this scientific and cultural examination explores what it means to be alive. Examining historical thinking as well as the impact of modern science, such as the search for planets that could support alien life, the author assesses our concept of the cosmos and what might be ‘out there’.
One of the most potent questions we ask about the cosmos is: are we alone? From astrobiology to exoplanets in the 'Goldilocks Zone', Jaime Green traces our understanding of what and where life in the universe could be, drawing on the long tradition of scientists, writers and artists who have stimulated research by extrapolating worlds.
Bringing together expert interviews, cutting-edge astronomy, philosophical inquiry and pop culture touchstones ranging from A Wrinkle in Time to Star Trek, The Possibility of Life delves into our evolving conception of the cosmos to wonder what we might find... out there.
