Publisher's Synopsis
Are We Alone?: The Ongoing Quest for Extraterrestrial Life is a captivating exploration of one of humanity's most profound questions: is life unique to Earth, or are we part of a larger cosmic tapestry?
Blending science, philosophy, and history, Ethan Walker takes readers on an epic journey through time and space. From the earliest myths of ancient civilizations to the cutting-edge discoveries of modern astrobiology, this book traces the evolution of our search for life beyond Earth. Dive into the science of exoplanets, the potential of biosignatures, and the implications of quantum computing in the hunt for alien life.
With clarity and depth, Walker examines the formation of galaxies, the building blocks of life, and the role of space missions and telescopes in uncovering habitable worlds. He also considers the societal, ethical, and philosophical consequences of making contact-or finding ourselves truly alone.
Ideal for curious minds and science enthusiasts alike, Are We Alone? is more than a scientific inquiry-it's a reflection on human curiosity, the nature of existence, and our place in the universe.
