The most critical moments of history are not the closed stories, like the start and finish of wars, or the rise and fall of governments. The story of intelligent life on Earth is made up of beginnings. Imagine traveling back in time to witness a critical moment in the dawn of human intelligence. Suppose that you find an alien bystander already on the scene, who asks: \u00abWhy are you so excited? What does it matter?\u00bb The question seems almost impossible to answer; it demands a thousand answers, or none.
