Popular Israeli astrophysicist Mario Livio first unveils the content of the essay in an article of the science journal Nature.

Winston Churchill explores his thoughts by raising some important questions. He wrote the essay in 1939 but revisited it in the 1950s. That time he changed the title of the 11-page essay.

The changed title explores one vital question and that is whether human civilization is alone in the Universe or not. Actually, these things are available in the second draft of the Winston Churchill's essay and Mario Livio has reviewed it thoroughly. The second draft is also in the possession of the National Churchill Museum.

The essay reveals many unknown dimensions of the Winston Churchill's personality. Timothy Riley, the director and also the chief curator of the museum, opines that the essay unveils the curiosity and interest of the British wartime leader about the progress of the science. The current discovery of the famous wartime leader surprises people.

Popular journal Nature reported that Winston Churchill wrote many science essays for magazines and newspapers in the 1920s and 1930s. Mario Livio mentions about the friendship between the former British Prime Minister and Frederick Lindemann, the famous physicist, in the journal. The Israeli astrophysicist also utters that this great British statesman helped to bring development in the arena of X-ray crystallography and molecular genetics.

It is true that Winston Churchill became famous for his role in the Second World War. He led his country from the verge of defeat to victory. Now his essay creates a new dimension in the modern science.
