H.G Wells highlights the obviousness of the English to the sciences especially astronomy, which was his motif in writing the novel. Wells believed that humans should at least understand the basics of astronomy and be aware of their environment, which is why he creates the critical flaw of the humans in his book to be their obviousness to the sciences. He describes that the general population does not even know about the Martians’s projectile launches towards the Earth or even their landing at the Woking Common. Moreover, Wells’s War of the Worlds supports my argument that humans have a detrimental obliviousness to the sciences because in the case of the novel they easily fall to extraterrestrial aliens. Since the general population of humans did not see the Martians coming, the humans were not prepared and organized for the invasion, which illustrates the critical flaw of humans to astronomy.
