Synopsis

[8x10 Full Color Version]Are we alone in the Universe? It is an age old question. Most people want to "believe" or suggest that "we cant be the only ones..." . Well until now we only had our belief system to tell us we are not alone. The Populated Universe adds a science perspective to this, the question for all time. It takes the reader through the very reasons, based on science, that life is likely teeming in the Universe. Written for the lay person, The Populated Universe begins with a look at our own world. We have had 5 major extinction level events here. Find the surprising reason why that fact may be an oddity in the Universe. Yet still here we are. Did you know that 250 million years ago animals that would become mammals (precursors to US) were dominant on the planet until they and 98% of all life was wiped out? Dinosaurs then ruled for millions of years until another extinction event 65 million years ago when mammals rose once again to fill the empty niches. is the Universe telling us something about mammals perhaps being a universal life form here and elsewhere? By looking at the chronology of life here on Earth we can make some educated guesses as to what path life elsewhere in the Universe may have taken. Did you know some planets present only one face to their star like the Moon does to us on Earth? What does that mean for life evolving there? The Populated Universe will take you through these different possibilities. Finally it will take the reader to the search here at home for extraterrestrial life that may have reached us here on Earth. All based on the possibilities of science. Interstellar travel is more promising than one may think and NASA is already funding labs to look at this very real prospect. In a sense after reading The Populated Universe, the grand Universe may just feel a little smaller...
