Interstellar: The Search for Extraterrestrial Life and Our Future in the Stars

“The world's leading alien hunter” — New York Times Magazine From acclaimed Harvard astrophysicist and bestselling author of Extraterrestrial comes a mind-expanding new book explaining why becoming an interstellar species is imperative for humanity’s survival and detailing a game plan for how we can settle among the stars. In the New York Times bestseller Extraterrestrial, Avi Loeb, the longest serving Chair of Harvard’s Astronomy Department, presented a theory that shook the scientific community: our solar system, Loeb claimed, had likely been visited by a piece of advanced alien technology from a distant star. This provocative and persuasive argument opened millions of minds internationally to the vast possibilities of our universe and the existence of intelligent life beyond Earth. But a crucial question remained: now that we are aware of the existence of extraterrestrial life, what do we do next? How do we prepare ourselves for interaction with interstellar extraterrestrial civilization? How can our species become interstellar? Now Loeb tackles these questions in a revelatory, powerful call to arms that reimagines the idea of contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. Dismantling our science-fiction fueled visions of a human and alien life encounter, Interstellar provides a realistic and practical blueprint for how such an interaction might actually occur, resetting our cultural understanding and expectation of what it means to identify an extraterrestrial object. From awe-inspiring searches for extraterrestrial technology, to the heated debate of the existence of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, Loeb provides a thrilling, front-row view of the monumental progress in science and technology currently preparing us for contact. He also lays out the profound implications of becoming—or not becoming—interstellar; in an urgent, eloquent appeal for more proactive engagement with the world beyond ours, he powerfully contends why we must seek out other life forms, and in the process, choose who and what we are within the universe. Combining cutting edge science, physics, and philosophy, Interstellar revolutionizes the approach to our search for extraterrestrial life and our preparation for its discovery. In this eye-opening, necessary look at our future, Avi Loeb artfully and expertly raises some of the most important questions facing us as humans, and proves, once again, that scientific curiosity is the key to our survival.

Vom New York Times-Bestsellerautor von "Extraterrestrial" kommt ein geistig erweiterndes neues Buch, das erklärt, warum es für das Überleben der Menschheit unerlässlich ist, eine interstellare Spezies zu werden, und einen Plan darlegt, wie wir uns unter den Sternen niederlassen können. In "Extraterrestrial" präsentierte Avi Loeb, der am längsten amtierende Vorsitzende der Astronomieabteilung von Harvard, eine Theorie, die die wissenschaftliche Gemeinschaft erschütterte: Unser Sonnensystem, so Loeb, wurde wahrscheinlich von einem Stück fortschrittlicher alien Technologie aus einem fernen Stern besucht. Dieses provokante und überzeugende Argument öffnete Millionen von Menschen weltweit die Augen für die riesigen Möglichkeiten unseres Universums und die Existenz intelligenten Lebens jenseits der Erde. Doch eine entscheidende Frage blieb: Jetzt, da wir uns der Existenz von ausserirdischem Leben bewusst sind, was tun wir als Nächstes? Wie bereiten wir uns auf die Interaktion mit interstellarer extraterrestrischer Zivilisation vor? Wie kann unsere Spezies interstellar werden? Nun geht Loeb diesen Fragen in einem aufschlussreichen, kraftvollen Aufruf nach, der die Idee des Kontakts mit extraterrestrischen Zivilisationen neu denkt. Indem er unsere von Science-Fiction geprägten Vorstellungen von einer Begegnung zwischen Mensch und Alien auseinander nimmt, bietet "Interstellar" einen realistischen und praktischen Plan, wie eine solche Interaktion tatsächlich stattfinden könnte, und stellt unser kulturelles Verständnis und unsere Erwartungen dessen, was es bedeutet, ein extraterrestrisches Objekt zu identifizieren, neu ein. Von beeindruckenden Suchen nach extraterrestrischer Technologie bis hin zur hitzigen Debatte über die Existenz unidentifizierter Luftphänomene bietet Loeb einen spannenden, hautnahen Blick auf den monumentalen Fortschritt in Wissenschaft und Technologie, der uns derzeit auf den Kontakt vorbereitet. Er legt auch die tiefgreifenden Implikationen dar, interstellar zu werden – oder nicht; in einem dringenden, eloquenten Appell für ein proaktiveres Engagement mit der Welt jenseits unserer eigenen argumentiert er eindringlich, warum wir andere Lebensformen suchen müssen und dabei entscheiden, wer und was wir im Universum sind.
