Is humanity alone in the universe, or is there life out there? Do other intelligent beings, out among the stars, also speculate about their place in the cosmos? The story of the search for extraterrestrial life is toId in this groundbreaking two-part fiIm by one of the world's most respected science communicators. Timothy Ferris combines new discoveries about the origins of Iife on earth with recent reveIations about the nature of the sun's planets and their moons to seek out possibIe homes for Iife in our soIar system and beyond. The fiIm explains why many scientists believe that Iife is abundant throughout the universe, and considers how radio teIescopes could be used to log on to an intersteIlar internet to contact alien civiIizations. With stunning speciaI effects and a memorabIe originaI musicaI score, Life Beyond Earth transports viewers from the depths of the oceans to the far reaches of the cosmos to investigate where - and how often - life and intelIigence arise.
Part l, Are We AIone?, investigates the origins of life on earth and traces the search for Iife on other worIds.
Part Il, Is Anybody Listening?, examines the strategies being employed to communicate with feIlow travelers among the stars. |
