Abstract
In the present book, in addition to taking advantage of my professional background as a neuroscientist to take on the difficult task of discussing how I believe alien nervous systems might be able to develop on other worlds in the universe, I also wanted to tackle the complex issues related to how difficult it might be for any possible life forms to survive in what we now believe is a universe that has frequently been characterized in the popular and scientific literature as either “life friendly” or, at other times, “unfriendly or hostile” to the existence of any known forms of life. This is, without any doubt, quite problematic to the story I am trying to present in the present book. What I would like to do is focus on how different kinds of life in different parts of the universe are affected by their own local environmental conditions. However, since I have knowledge of only one kind of life on only one kind of planet, I will have to limit my discussion to what our scientists currently believe they know about how our world may have, in the past, or could, in the future, host physical events that could support or impede the development of life right here under our own noses.
