By the end of Chapter 2 we had made it to 1840 with the discovery of stellar parallax and correspondingly ridiculously large distances to the stars.. At this point, it is useful to introduce a device, similar to the Evil Genius device of Descartes, known as the Random Alien Test (or RAT). Under the RAT device, an alien spontaneously appears and asks random planetary inhabitants basic knowledge questions about the Universe that any "intelligent civilization" would know. So, in 1840 the RAT question would be:. History and Present Status. . Motivated by . the book. :. Breakthrough Beyond the Edge of the World. Valery . Rubakov. Alexei . Starobinsky. Andrei . Linde.
