Review of Aliens and Humans
[Following is a volunteer review of "Aliens and Humans" by Harry Keller.]
"Where is everybody?” Why don’t we see those ETs (extraterrestrials) here and now? This is what is known as the Fermi Paradox. The book "Aliens and Humans," authored by Harry E. Keller, Ph.D., discusses these issues as well as the beliefs, facts, and concepts that surround them.
The book breaks its topic into six key sections: Expansion, Velocity, Finding Civilization, Biology, Cosmology, and Choices. The Summary section connects and examines all the research and potential answers to the question, "Where are the aliens? And why are we here?"
I pondered how all of these segments about the universe and extraterrestrial bodies relate to aliens. What conclusions can we make about the Fermi Paradox, universal riddles, and the concept of aliens?
After completing the book, I want to emphasize that each chapter encompasses information that will ultimately form connections. For instance, the "Cosmology" chapter discusses stars, planets, galaxies, space, and time, presenting numerous equations and ideas about their ages and effects. Additionally, discoveries about these topics are given. When talking about the idea of "Biology", the narrative goes into detail about its origins, the conditions necessary for it, RNA, DNA, intricate life patterns, evolution, and extinction. These two sections discuss the beginnings, creation, discovery, exploration, and development of things. Following them, the author develops theories of perspective.
The author describes the "Finding Civilization" and "Choices" portions in terms of possible outcomes. "What if aliens discovered us?" is one example of a what-if scenario. How do we handle distinct creatures? The chapter "Finding Civilization" discusses NASA and SETI and how they are utilizing their findings and conjectures to pinpoint the habitable zone. Once again, it concerns the alien's perception of the habitable zone. What if they choose to visit? What variables might they consider?
Details on the computation of energy, momentum, speed, and time are covered in the "Velocity" conversation. The topic of "Expansion" is entirely theoretical, based on several possibilities and what-if speculations. Given its abundance of concepts and experimental procedures, including the hypothetical scenario of aliens visiting Earth, how does the current expansion proceed?
I would rather not give anything away, since it's best for readers to investigate these sections on their own and go on to the summary to receive the full picture of whatever material they understood. Most importantly, these glimpses provide insight into what to expect from the book and the experience of reading each section.
I rate this book a 4 out of 5. The composition of book is admirable because they demand perseverance, focus, and commitment due to their concepts, theories, facts, equations, information, and data about various topics, forming a significant body of work. The presentation of the topic, which divided it into theoretical aspects, equations, and finally statistics or data, was commendable. Overall, it provided us with the facts and prompted us to ask ourselves, "Is it possible?" How is this approach possible? How can we establish these connections for conclusion?
The only difficult aspect I encountered was the overwhelming number of topics that were discussed, though I appreciated the efforts. Are the few sentences that explain the definition or theory of specific topics sufficient to understand all the concepts in the book? Understanding the material was challenging, especially for non-science students who may struggle without extensive readings. However, is it feasible to read, comprehend, and evaluate so much information in a single book? As a result, I reduced one point from the rating. Except for these factors, I loved and appreciated the book because I didn't see any other issues.
In terms of editing, the editors performed a fantastic job, producing a book devoid of errors. I recommend this book to readers who appreciate science and seek to expand their understanding of the universe's concepts.
