The existence of similar molecules on other planets in our solar systems, as well as in meteorites that land on earth every year, are used in an argument for the evolution of such compounds - the building blocks of life - outside Earth. However, Aczel approaches his subject in a completely novel way, using the full power of modern probability theory. The laws of large numbers applied to the immense size of the known universe with its billions of galaxies, each containing many billions of stars, are used to argue the probability that there is life elsewhere.
