Celestial Scenery Or The Wonders Of The Planetary System Displayed; Illustrating the Perfections of the Deity and a Plurality of Worlds is a fascinating exploration of the universe and its wonders, written in a style that is accessible to readers of all backgrounds. It is a must-read for anyone interested in astronomy, philosophy, or theology.
Dick believed in the plurality of worlds or cosmic pluralism, that every planet in the Solar System was inhabited. In his book Celestial scenery, or, The Wonders of the planetary system displayed, among many other topics he computed that the Solar System contained 21,894,974,404,480 (21+ trillion) inhabitants |
