Michael Brooks Quotes

We Are Pouring Huge Amounts Of Energy Into The Biological Effort To Understand Where Life Came From, How It Arose On Planet Earth, Because It Matters To Us; It Is, Perhaps Our Deepest Question. Really, It Boils Down To This: Are We Special? The Best Summation Has Been Attributed To The Science Fiction Writer Arthur C. Clarke: "Sometimes I Think We're Alone In The Universe, And Sometimes I Think We're Not," He Said. "In Either Case The Idea Is Quite Staggering." Clarke Is Right. If We Are Alone, That's Extraordinary. If We Are Not , That's Even Better. Were We To Discover That We Are One Of Many Life-forms On A Planet That Is One Of Many Inhabited Worlds, We Would Have A New Perspective On Being Human - On Being Alive, Even. And If We Discover That Some Of That Life Beyond Earth Is Intelligent, A Whole New Vista Of Possible Human Experience Opens Up Before Us.
