This book addresses all scientists and others interested in the origins, development and fate of intelligent species in the observable part of our universe. In particular, the author scrutinizes what kind of information about extraterrestrial intelligent life can be inferred from our own biological, cultural and scientific evolution and the likely future of mankind. The first part of the book provides the necessary background information from space and life sciences, thus making the book also accessible to students and the scientifically educated public.In this second edition of Peter Ulmschneider's successful and highly interesting book the author is putting even stronger emphasis on the geological conditions and consequences of life's conquest of land as the pre-condition for the emergence of life with our type of technical intelligence.

Peter Ulmschneider zeichnet anhand von 10 Entwicklungsstufen den Weg von der Entstehung des Universums bis zum modernen Menschen. Unser Universum ist im Urknall als ein mit Materie gefüllter, sich unaufhörlich ausdehnender Raum entstanden, in dem die Naturgesetze immer komplexere Strukturen schufen: chemische Elemente, Sterne, Galaxien, Planeten, und schließlich den Menschen mit seinem Gehirn als Sitz der Intelligenz. Diese Entwicklung dürfte sich weiter fortsetzen und nach ihrem Zenit wieder mit dem Zerfall aller Strukturen enden, um einem stetig dünner werdenden, nur noch von Photonen und Neutrinos bevölkerten Weltall Platz zu machen. Am Ende des Universums steht der Kältetod - ein von den physikalischen Gesetzen vorhergesagter Zustand maximaler Entropie -, der ein auf ewige Zeiten festgefrorenes kosmisches Archiv schafft, das die individuelle Geschichte unseres Universums bewahrt.
