On the Shores of Endless Worlds: Ancient Astronauts and the Search for Cosmic Life

Now more than at any time in history, mankind has the means to look back, deep into his own origins - to the explosions that created our universe, the evolution of the first living cells, and the emergence of human civilization from the stone ages. At the very same time, we now have the ability to peer out to the very edges of space, where other civilizations - and possibly our own futures - lie. Born into a family of famous Polish writers, international bestselling author Andrew Tomas has dared to do what few scholars have - to try to escape our earthbound view of ourselves. By assimilating and understanding the work of specialists in biology, archaeology, geology, history, and astronomy, he makes new assessments of man's destiny in time and space, set in an infinite past and boundless future: on the shores of endless worlds. Using a remarkable blend of knowledge, imagination, and speculation, Tomas examines the "infinitesimal computer" that tells even inanimate crystals the shape they must assume, and finds a continuity between the organic and inorganic, the organic and the "intelligent," and the human and the superhuman, whose possibilities are as yet beyond our ken. He looks to our future, where star people will travel at the speed of light, and examines the evidence that such superbeings already exist.
