The search for Earth-like planets is reaching a fever-pitch. Does the evidence so far help shed light on the ancient question: Is the galaxy filled with life, or is Earth just a beautiful, lonely aberration? If things dont work out on this planet, or if our itch to explore becomes unbearable at some point in the future, Astronomers have recently found out what kind of galactic real estate might be available to us. Well have to develop advanced transport to land there, 20 light years away. The question right now: is it worth the trip?

All across the immense reaches of time and space, energy is being exchanged, transferred, and released in a great cosmic pinball game we call our universe. To see how energy stitches the cosmos together, and how we fit within it, we journey through the cosmic scales of power.
