As
astronomical tools such as the Hubble space craft begin to reveal
more secrets of space and its unimaginable dimensions and mystery,
we find ourselves speculating about the existence of other far
away species of intelligent beings and indeed the origins of
life on earth itself. This new perspective of an extended world
must be in some measure similar to the period of rapid exploration
and growth of knowledge as Europe began to explore the new world
and trading routes were being established with distant corners
of the globe in the last millennium.
