摘要

这篇论文概述了最近的历史研究，这些研究以科学为依据，对恒星是由其他有人居住的地球环绕的其他太阳这一观点提出了挑战——这一观点后来被称为“世界多元论”。17世纪的约翰内斯·开普勒，18世纪的雅克·卡西尼和19世纪的威廉·休厄尔都反对“多元主义”，他们都是基于他们各自时代的坚实科学。然而，尽管面临这些和其他科学挑战，多元主义仍然很受欢迎。这段历史将引起天文学界的兴趣，这样，如果多元主义的历史轨迹继续下去，特别是在大众的想象中，它就能更好地避免困难。

The challenging history of other Earths

This paper provides an overview of recent historical research regarding scientifically-informed challenges to the idea that the stars are other suns orbited by other inhabited earths – an idea that came to be known as ‘the Plurality of Worlds’. Johannes Kepler in the 17th century, Jacques Cassini in the 18th and William Whewell in the 19th each argued against ‘pluralism’ based on what in their respective times was solid science. Nevertheless, pluralism remained popular despite these and other scientific challenges. This history will be of interest to the astronomical community so that it is better positioned to avoid difficulties should the historical trajectory of pluralism continue, especially as it persists in the popular imagination.

期刊介绍： International Journal of Astrobiology is the peer-reviewed forum for practitioners in this exciting interdisciplinary field. Coverage includes cosmic prebiotic chemistry, planetary evolution, the search for planetary systems and habitable zones, extremophile biology and experimental simulation of extraterrestrial environments, Mars as an abode of life, life detection in our solar system and beyond, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, the history of the science of astrobiology, as well as societal and educational aspects of astrobiology. Occasionally an issue of the journal is devoted to the keynote plenary research papers from an international meeting. A notable feature of the journal is the global distribution of its authors.
