Are we alone in the universe?
The question of extraterrestrial life is one of the greatest open questions in modern science. With the discovery of thousands of exoplanets and increasingly precise astronomical observations, this question is no longer only philosophical—it is now being investigated scientifically.
This book explores the possibilities of life on a cosmic scale. It examines the chemical foundations of biological systems, potential habitats on distant planets, and the diversity of possible life forms. It also considers the development of intelligence, technological civilizations, and the scientific search for signals from space.
From ocean worlds beneath layers of ice to extreme planetary systems and planetary biospheres, the book shows under which conditions life could emerge in the universe—and what traces it might leave behind.
A scientific exploration of one of the most fascinating questions of our time:
Is life in the universe a rare exception—or a widespread phenomenon?
