If you have watched any science show in the last ten years that talks about space then you have heard him speak... Asian guy with the geek-mullet.

I think what makes it flow so well for me is that it is written more as a history book than a science book.

What I am most curious about is if scientist look at Earth and only think this model is a model for what we know as life. Obviously, it is a model you can look to have duplicated as it would indicate earth "like" life, however I believe what we think we know is not really much at all considering the vastness of the universe.

Thanks for the heads up. The concept of parallel worlds and/or universes fascinates me, so I think I'll give this book a try.
this must be the place to bring up the 17B earth sized planets in the milky way. wrap your head around that number. now, how many are in the goldilocks zone?
