                  When this occurs, with trillions upon trillions of atoms and molecules confined
            in  a  given  area  (the  daytime  sunlit  surface),  the  entire  area  undergoes  a  rise  in
            dimensionality  level.  And  if  the  atmosphere  and  planetary  surface,  which  were
            strongly  heated  by  day,  experience  a  sharp  temperature  decrease  at  night,  the

              dimensionality level drops.
                  Concomitantly, the free matter amassed in the qualitative barrier level plummets

            like an avalanche, and an electrical discharge between the atmosphere and planetary
            surface ensues. (See Ch. 1, for a more detailed account of these processes and the
            conditions necessary for the origin of life).
                   In sum, the absolute requisites for the origin of life on planets are the following:

                             presence of a constant dimensionality gradient;

                             water;
                             atmosphere;

                             periodic succession of day and night;
                             atmospheric electrical discharges.
                  Life  is  automatically  generated  on  all  planets  meeting  these  conditions.
            There are billions of such planets in the universe. Our planet Earth is not a unique
            creation of nature. Billions of civilizations exist in the universe, giving rise to both
            human and other forms of intelligent life.

                  The humanoid form of intelligent life is the most widespread in the universe.
            This is related to the fact that intelligence arises only at certain evolutionary stages of
            an ecological system. Each ecological niche has certain requirements as to the species
            which occupies it. They are — the size and form of the living organism, the quantity
            and quality of the food supply and certain regulations regarding the life process. Only
            those organisms conforming to these requirements survive in the course of evolution.

                  Once an ecological system is complete, new species continue to develop as a
            result of their capacity to mutate. The new species, if better adapted to the ecological
            niche than the species al-ready in residence, are able to evict the "owners" from their
            habitat. Thus, it is only at a certain level of development of the ecological system

            that we may speak of the emergence of intelligence.

                  Additionally, species predisposed to the development of intelligence are able to
            occupy one or several — often very close — ecological niches. That is why most
            civilizations  in  the  universe  are  of  the  humanoid  type.  (This  will  be  detailed  in
            subsequent chapters). The origin of life on our planet is a natural process — it would
            be foolish indeed to shut our eyes to so obvious a fact.

                  Earthmen hide their fear that myriad other civilizations exist in the universe by
            cloaking it in the illusion of their own uniqueness. Acknowledging the presence of
            other life forms and civilizations leaves no room for seeing themselves as "special"
            or  "God-like"  either  individually  or  collectively.  Rather,  man  must  accept  the
            responsibility for what he does to nature or to himself. Invoking uniqueness allows
            him to disregard the many crimes and errors of humanity as a whole, as well as those
            of separate nations and individuals. Pleading inexperience is just an excuse for all of

            this.
