520 "It is now known that we live in a galaxy with more
planets than stars. The Milky Way alone encompasses 30
trillion potential home planets. Scientists Trefil and
Summers bring readers on a marvelous experimental voyage
through the possibilities of life--unlike anything we have
experienced so far--that could exist on planets outside
our own solar system. Life could be out there in many
forms: on frozen worlds, living in liquid oceans beneath
ice and communicating (and even battling) with bubbles; on
super-dense planets, where they would have evolved body
types capable of dealing with extreme gravity; on tidally
locked planets with one side turned eternally toward a
star; and even on "rogue worlds," which have no star at
all. Yet this is no fictional flight of fancy: the authors
take what we know about exoplanets and life on our own
world and use that data to hypothesize about how, where,
and which sorts of life might develop. Imagined Life is a
must-have for anyone wanting to learn how the realities of
our universe may turn out to be far stranger than fiction"
