Features: This book addresses the fundamental questions that have always puzzled humanity: What is life? Where does it come from? Where can it be found? Are there other Earths? Are we alone? This book summarizes the various exploration methods humans have used to search for life in the universe. The author introduces the diverse attempts by humanity to find life in the cosmos in accessible language, while maintaining a rigorous approach to exploring fundamental questions that have long lingered in people's minds: What is life? Where does it come from? Where can it be found? Are there other Earths? The author boldly proposes the hypothesis that "if life outside Earth has a different foundation, our current strategies may have little chance of discovering it," and provides multiple pathways to seek answers. This book helps us better understand the question "Are we alone?"
