This book is a selective and fascinating history of scientific speculation about intelligent extraterrestrial life. From Plutarch to Stephen Hawking, some of the most prominent western scientists have had quite detailed perceptions and misperceptions about alien civilizations: Johannes Kepler, fresh from transforming astronomy with his work on the shape of planetary orbits, was quite sure alien engineers on the moon were excavating circular pits to provide shelter; Christiaan Huygens, the most prominent physical scientist between Galileo and Newton, dismissed Kepler's speculations, but used the laws of probability to prove that "planetarians" on other worlds are much like humans, and had developed a sense of the visual arts; Carl Sagan sees clearly that Huygens is a biological chauvinist, but doesn't see as clearly that he, Sagan, may be a cultural/technological chauvinist when he assumes aliens have highly developed technology like ours, but better. Basalla traces the influence of one speculation on the next, showing an unbroken but twisting chain of ideas passed from one scientist to the next, and from science to popular culture. He even traces the influence of popular culture on science--Sagan always admitted how much E. R. Burroughs' Martian novels influenced his speculations about Mars. Throughout, Basalla weaves his theme that scientific belief in and search for extraterrestrial civilizations is a complex impulse, part secularized-religious, and part anthropomorphic. He questions the common modern scientific reasoning that life converges on intelligence, and intelligence converges on one science valid everywhere. He ends the book by agreeing with Stephen Hawking (usually a safe bet) that intelligence is overrated for survival in the universe, and that we are most likely alone.

Were there advanced civilizations on Earth, older than what it is currently believed and accepted? Because we keep noticing their traces everywhere, while authorities deny their presence. Are there other civilizations out there among planets and stars? Because we keep seeing their people around here, pursuing their obscure interests, with authorities ignoring everything. Are there nonhuman civilizations on Earth, in parallel with the human civilization? Because they interact from the shadow of the underground with the human civilization, while again, authorities deny systematically their presence. And when authorities are constrained in any way to give an answer, they state vaguely that it is a matter of human survival. And how can humans defend themselves of anyone and anything as they are held in ignorance and denial? Is there life after death? Because countless of people had died and came back to tell their story, and it is always consistent. This implies the existence of higher, extraordinary civilizations in parallel with the human civilization, from above. These higher civilizations could be possible, since their niches of life and existence are accurate and already present within other realities. Science and academia ignore this topic entirely, ridiculing all seekers of higher truth, and forcing them in this manner to stop their research. What can there be more important to know in this world than the meaning of life itself, the meaning of this entire human civilization, along with the meaning of the lives and existence of all humans here in this world and in all higher worlds? Why postponing disclosure if it is imperative for people’s wider existence? Who profits and who loses through this entire coverup? Who exactly controls the current human authority? Why is humanity kept ignorant in what it concerns the most important subject of all, life everywhere, and life eternally, intelligent and civilized life? Because if there are other civilizations on Earth and elsewhere, human or not, if there are other realities up there besides this one, populated and civilized, then people’s ignorance renders them vulnerable when they die and have to go elsewhere. In this manner, once you ignore the kind of realities that may be out there, you might be tricked to go and live in treacherous, dubious, unholy worlds, claiming that they are in fact the holly lands promised to you by your own religion. And so you disappear. Because it is stated in religious records to be careful not to follow false deities. Yet how can you know anything in this domain, if you are kept ignorant the entire time, and probably lied to, misled, and many times tempted with irrelevant material compensations throughout life? This book helps you understand civilizations from a rigorous, comprehensive perspective, including the meaning, interests, agreements, and intentions that civilizations have in the wider world, why individuals form civilizations as an end product of their cumulative lifetime efforts, and furthermore, what meanings these civilizations have in the wider world.

Earth, a tiny and dazzling speck in the vast cosmic canvas, is not just our home but a cradle of human curiosity, scientific exploration, and boundless wonder. Inhabiting this small planet, we are not mere witnesses to the grandeur of the universe; we are intrepid explorers who tirelessly venture beyond our terrestrial boundaries. Our quest leads us from the enigmatic birth and expansion of the universe to the hunt for habitable worlds and the complexities of interstellar communication. It reminds us of the ethical considerations surrounding potential encounters with extraterrestrial life and the responsible use of cosmic resources. This book encapsulates the captivating narrative of our journey, revolving around the fundamental question: "Are we alone in the universe?" The odyssey begins with a profound exploration of the birth and expansion of the universe, an event that unfolds from the cataclysmic Big Bang to the formation of galaxies, stars, and planets. Yet, our journey extends far beyond our planetary confines. It takes us to the tantalizing Goldilocks zone, where the conditions for life may exist beyond Earth. We peer into the vast expanse of exoplanets, each with its unique story waiting to be uncovered. As cosmic pioneers, we confront the intricacies of interstellar communication. We send signals into the cosmic void, hoping for a response that bridges the unfathomable distances separating us from potential extraterrestrial civilizations. These exchanges, transcending our imagination, symbolize the pinnacle of our pursuit. Our expedition is not an individual undertaking but a collective odyssey uniting us as seekers of truth, understanding, and communion with the cosmos. As we traverse the limitless expanse of space, we recognize that our exploration is an eternal journey—a testament to the boundless human spirit and an enduring tribute to our intrinsic desire to comprehend the universe enveloping us. Thank you for embarking on this journey with us. Now, let us together dive into the depths of the cosmos, explore its mysteries, and seek answers to the questions that propel us forward on this enchanting adventure.
