Uno strano silenzio. Siamo soli nell'universo? (Paul Davies)

Il saggio esplora la questione se siamo soli nell'universo, combinando rigore scientifico con riflessioni sociali e filosofiche (discute le strategie utilizzate per cercare segnali di vita intelligente e le implicazioni filosofiche di un eventuale contatto o della conferma della nostra solitudine nell'universo).

Paul Davies (fisico teorico e cosmologo noto per i suoi contributi alla comprensione dell'universo e della vita) affronta il tema del silenzio cosmico, ovvero la mancanza di segnali di vita intelligente extraterrestre nonostante le numerose ricerche condotte dal programma SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) dal 1960; si concentra sul paradosso di Fermi, che si chiede perché non abbiamo ancora trovato prove di civiltà extraterrestri, nonostante le alte probabilità statistiche della loro esistenza.

Davies esamina le possibili spiegazioni per il silenzio cosmico, tra cui la rarità della vita intelligente o la possibilità che civiltà avanzate evitino di comunicare con noi.

I want you to know the truth, but perhaps you don't want to hear it. You're not the first. I knew it. It's the only thing you men care about—being the first.

Loving Couples (Älskande par), Mai Zetterling (1964)

Built Landscape I, 2015, by Paul Davies, was included in Palm Springs Art Museum’s 2018 group exhibition, Eighty @ Eighty.

From the museum’s wall plaque-

Through a rich process of layering, mirroring, and mimicking, Davies explores the fusion of manmade and cultivated natural elements that comprise our environment. Reflecting a contemporary Southern California sensibility, his paintings are at once a dream of an idealized lifestyle made popular by midcentury modern architecture, and a commentary on how such structures interact with and fragment the world around us. This image references the unique periscope-like structure of architect Albert Frey’s first home in Palm Springs.

Davies’ work can currently be seen as part of Stark White gallery’s exhibition Surface Tension in Queenstown, New Zealand, on view until 8/20/23.

Mirrors, Doubles and Speculative Space: Paul Davies’ Art of Connection

Paul Davies’ works are visually stunning: the eye is irresistibly drawn to their intricate surfaces. His paintings are created from a process involving a highly detailed collage of elements, starting with painted or photographic surfaces, overlaid by stencilled forms, which together create the final image. His works on paper are derived in part from a photographic process of exposing light…

There had been bad blood between the Kinks and the Beatles since they played together on the same bill in 1964. John upset Davies backstage by saying, “We’ve lost our set-list, lads. Can we borrow yours?” implying that the Kinks, who had only released two singles at that point, were mere imitators. Paul was more respectful. When the Kinks released “See My Friends” in 1965, a track now widely regarded as one of the first pop songs to use Eastern scales, Paul played it over and over at the apartment of John Dunbar and Marianne Faithfull, and when he saw Ray’s brother Dave at the Scotch, he reputedly joked, “That ‘See My Friend.’ I really like that. I should have written it,” to which Dave retorted, “Well, you didn’t. You can’t do everything.” Ray Davies later commented, “Paul McCartney was one of the most competitive people I’ve ever met. Lennon wasn’t. He just thought everyone else was shit."
