THE GREAT FILTER: FROM THE BIG BANG TO THE RISE AND DOWNFALL OF THE HUMAN SPECIES by Gerard Alexander Willighagen
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2 MB
Overview: The Great Filter is about the origin and evolution of life, the history and future of humanity and the search for life beyond Earth.
Are we alone in the Universe? There are hundreds of billions of galaxies in the Universe, each containing at least hundreds of billions of stars. The possibility that there is extraterrestrial life somewhere in the Universe is very strong. However, until now, we have not seen anybody yet. But, the truth is that we have only just started looking. And if we eventually do find extraterrestrial life, what will they look like? And most importantly, what will that mean for us?
Simply put, finding extraterrestrial life would imply that our downfall is inevitable and may come very soon. But why would it be our demise? And, most importantly, what existential threat could it be? Would it be caused by a natural disaster, like an asteroid or a supervolcano? Or will humanity trigger its own demise through devastating technologies such as super-advanced artificial intelligence or uncontrollable biotechnology? Perhaps drastic climate change or global nuclear war is the most likely principle of self-destruction?
