REVISED EDITION SEP 2018 "Dubito, ergo sum" explores the greatest threat to future life on Earth: living only for the present, and "damn the torpedoes!" Astronomer Michael Kerr cannot accept the skepticism and denial of science, of common sense. "Why the hell would `skeptics' choose to play Russian Roulette with their grandchildren?" Ethics, politics. Physics, evolution. Guilt, innocence. Adults, children. Fermi's Paradox. These issues torture the minds of Michael and fellow interstellar travelers sent on a mission of hope. . Can humanity survive cataclysmic climate change? "Dubito" is followed by "Credo" and "Cogito," in the "Ergo sum" trilogy, chronicling the unfolding story of planetary "un-natural history." Author P. Gordon Judge, astrophysicist, father, husband, cancer survivor, ties fiction and fact together, in penning the first of a trilogy of short novels devoted to the future of our children and grandchildren.
