Produktbeschreibung
This book is about the potential impact that first contact with more advanced extraterrestrials may have on human civilisation, with particular emphasis on major religions. The book attempts a realistic review of the present physical, intellectual, ethical, social and religious state of humanity and the risk it faces of causing its own demise or even extinction. The book examines the violent nature of Darwinian evolution and argues that humanity is not doomed to remain in this violent stage of its development by force of anything in the universe. Its continuation is the default position that arises from humanity's failure to rise to the challenge of change and social growth.
Autorenporträt
The author is an academic and practising lawyer in Australia. He has had a prior life and long-term interest in theoretical physics, astronomy, maths and philosophy. As a lawyer, the author daily deals with the difficulties and nuances of the English language. He sees similar difficulties arising in the scientific literature in which he is interested, particularly in the form of assumptions, approximations and logical fallacies of different kinds that both infect and affect some of the relevant scientific literature. This book is an attempt to translate his experiences gained through a life in law to these relevant areas of science and to do so by reference to many specific examples.
