The Science of Aliens. How Scientists Explain the Possibility of Life on Other Planets

Humanity has always dreamed of finding intelligent brothers. Writers of science fiction, as well as astronomers, physicists, biologists, philosophers, poets, and even politicians, have pondered over what they might be like, and continue to do so to this day. And the more we learn about space, the more our understanding of what life and intelligence might look like in the Universe changes. Intelligent brothers have yet to be found, but they have long since become a part of our culture and worldview. In Anton Pervushin's book, a vast panorama of humanity's evolving views on alleged aliens is presented: from the insights of ancient thinkers to the concepts of modern astrobiologists. Together with the author, we will try to understand why completely different people in different eras believed: aliens really exist! This will be of interest to both fans of science fiction and supporters of verified scientific data about space.
