Interstellar

Autor Avi Loeb
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 aug 2023
'The 'Enfant terrible' of astrophysics . . . Loeb has a joy in conjecture and an omnivorous spirit of inquiry that are more reminiscent of 20th-century thinkers such as Freeman Dyson or Carl Sagan than most of his peers' The Times

Could we build space craft that could travel to distant stars? Could we augment human biology for spaceflight? Could the search for extraterrestrials be brought into the mainstream of scientific research?

Avi Loeb tells us that in each case, the real question is not could we, but will we choose to? With an approach that is firmly grounded in cutting-edge science, he explores the potential for non-rocket space launch, deep space probes, and the technological preservation of human civilisation. He examines the evidence for UFOs and UAPs, and argues that the search for further evidence, using existing scientific technologies, is long overdue.

Urgent and important, Noah's Spaceship is a mission statement and a blueprint for the future of humanity. Loeb explains why becoming interstellar is imperative for our civilization to survive - and how we can accomplish it.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Recenzii

“In late 2017, scientists at a Hawaiian observatory glimpsed an object soaring through our inner solar system. Part graceful memoir and part plea for keeping an open mind about the possibilities of what is out there in the universe—in particular, life. Loeb is one of the more imaginative and articulate scientists around. . . . Half memoir, half soaring monologue.”  — New York Times on Extraterrestrial
“So interesting… I recommend [Extraterrestrial] to people who have any interest in this extraordinary subject of life existing in other places than on Earth.” — William Shatner on Extraterrestrial
"Well-written and compelling."  — Forbes on Extraterrestrial
"Loeb makes a persuasive scientific argument about ‘Oumuamua’s otherworldly origins."  — New York magazine on Extraterrestrial
“A tantalizing, probing inquiry into the possibilities of alien life.”  — Kirkus Reviews on Extraterrestrial
