by A.C.B. Lovell, O.B.E., F.R.S.
This evening Professor Lovell gives the second of six lectures concerned with the picture of the universe revealed by contemporary astronomy-and the challenge to thought these discoveries present to man both as an individual and in society.
Theories to explain the origin of the solar system have been many and conflicting, perhaps more numerous than those offered to explain the universe itself. Some of the most significant recent work on this subject has been done in Russia. It is regrettable that certain aspects of Russian astronomical thought appear to be influenced by the demands of official political and philosophical doctrine for there is no doubt that contemporary Russian astronomy can compete with the best elsewhere.
Any attempt to account for our local planetary system leads logically to the fundamental problem of the uniqueness of man. We are today presented with opportunities of resolving the question of the possibility of extra-terrestrial life. But these opportunities are fraught with very grave dangers.
Next week: Astronomy and the State
