| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Extraterrestrial life is defined as life that does not originate from Earth. It is unknown whether any such life exists or ever existed in the past. One possibility is that life has emerged independently at many places throughout the Universe. Another possibility is panspermia or exogenesis, in which life would have spread between habitable planets. These two hypotheses are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Possible forms of extraterrestrial life range from simple bacteria-like organisms to sapient beings far more advanced than humans. This book studies extraterrestrial life including cosmic pluralism, Sentience quotient, Wow signal, and SERENDIP.
