Why the question of existence of other life forms in the universe is important for us?
This book looks for the possibility of life in the universe from a scientific perspective, and it does include the idea of other life forms that we get from the science fictions.
It sounds a bit absurd that humans need some other entities to make them feel more human. It is very less likely that an extraterrestrial life will bring humans closer. If you look at the famous fictional extraterrestrial lives, it is largely portrayed as a threat with all the weird body forms. Of course it is fiction but we are primed to not trust any such lives even if there is possibility in the near future.
As of now the absence of any such knowledge which proves that we're the only one here doesn't bring us closer to each other is a proof that finding such is not going to change this.
So, we should better look at it as a scientific quest, which if proven with some results will be commercialised for good or bad.
Peace
