You seem to want to prove your point by having never learned to spell or master grammar (if English isn’t your first language, I apologize). The idea of the future of our planet depends on your timeframe. If your horizon is defined by your own average lifetime, there’s plenty of hope for mankind (as a whole). However, our planet and solar system have a limited timeframe. The future of mankind depends on humanity’s ability to find a new home that has everything we need to survive and develop the technology to get there. Not undoable given enough time.

As a "born again" atheist, I lament the fact that I cannot just encapsulate these core ideas in a nutshell, (so to speak), and share them with the creationists that seem to surround me. Part of me thinks that I can't, because I'm not SMART enough to even fully grasp all the concepts, (at this time in my life at least). *More likely I am just too lazy mentally, to do the work required to understand and CONVEY(!!) it all (I mean, who has the wherewithal to sit around and discuss this for hours ~days?~ on end??) And still another part of me knows that if someone has chosen to blindly believe the dogmas of their chosen religion, the chance of them changing their whole worldview based on new information presented, is practically ZERO. It's just amazing that despite all of the evidence (scientific/logical/other) that currently EXISTS, so many people continue to cling to what is familiar to them, all in the name of comfort. For myself, I have always preferred to know the TRUTH of a situation, even if it's not as romantic or comforting than the alternative. Edit: It's also very frustrating that people will reject ideas or theories based on their own inability to understand them. As in "that's way too complicated for me to wrap my brain around, therefore I'm going to stick with what I already think, because it makes more sense to me". Mental laziness does not have to equate to ignorance or being closed minded. Its OK to accept that you don't fully comprehend something yet still accept the possibilty of it being true. Didn't a wise man once say "He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool"?

Synopsis The nation's favourite scientist looks at the origins of life in our Universe. For somehow the laws of nature conspired to create a naked ape that can look up at the stars and wonder where it came from. For as long as humans have walked the Earth we have searched for our place in the cosmos. We have looked to the heavens and the Earth and to the precious nature of human life. But perhaps most importantly of all, we have driven ourselves to do something that is, as far as we know, unique in the Universe. We ask questions.

Wonderful book. I agree that our milky way has lots of life, but it is going to be mostly pond scum. We will find out with the Webb telescope. If we find Freon in an atmosphere we will know at least the DuPonts are home. I suspect the jump to intelligent life is an extremely rare event. It took an incredible number of lucky breaks for it to happen on earth, like having just the right kind of moon. Having just the right kind of stressors that drove evolution toward intelligence. We are likely unique in our galaxy, though perhaps not Devine. Atomic weapons are our great filter and we are there now in our short history. We must find a way to eliminate them or I think it is unlikely we will be around for thousands of years in the future. Every weapon created gets used. I read where our signals are only detectable out to 100 light years, so with a galaxy 250,000 light years wide, nobody is close enough to hear us or us them. Nicely done, good volume, pleasure listening to.

@monikasmith53362 жыл бұрын
Surely what any listener gets out of listening to this or any science book will depend on what they bring to it. A person just setting out on the science journey will find much here that's rewarding and insightful. Whether it's simplistic or not is all relative to the knowledge base of the listener. Hooray for books that simplify things! Otherwise, we'd all need PhD's to make sense of the science.

Thousands upon thousands of generations to produce the works of the audio addition of the human universe ends with a calming voice telling the story's of what could be of the future yet fairy tale like similarities of the truth of a fairy tale ending. The seeds in a vault is 7 and half hours of beautiful yet 1 comment to the end of the true ending to this audio of what sounds so beautiful and again what could be. The children of tomorrow towards the end with the vault in Norway collide so close together that takes the full 7 hours for them to meet at a very nice time. The only way your going to get your fairy tale ending is by listening to the works of the human universe audiobook and instead of dreaming of what could be, take action to get the children of tomorrow there in the world that has potential for such great promises (but)-yet the world I know around me and the people who run it that care for the children of tomorrow then the fairy tale continues in the comment sections....
