Life Out There
A regular theme in science news is the quest for life beyond the pale blue dot we call home. Millions have been spent in the search for signs of life in our own solar system, and with every exoplanet discovery, hope springs that it will be situated in the habitable zone of the star it circles. Unquestionably, finding even fossil traces of life on Mars or one of the moons of our solar system would be exciting news. And, were a sequence of radio pulses detected coming from a nearby star with a repeating pattern corresponding to a set of prime numbers, champagne bottles would be uncorked and proof of intelligent life beyond our world considered a near certainty.
This blog will examine the unfortunate lack of evidence for life out there and the abundant evidence for life in a dimension of existence immediately adjacent to the one we presently inhabit. More to come.
