  Carl Sagan has had an
enormous impact on how I perceive the Universe and Humanity's place within it.
His ability to explain scientific concepts in plain English is
unparalleled. He was founder and
first president of the Planetary
Society. His
book and PBS mini-series,
Cosmos, pretty much laid everything on the line, from the origin of the
Universe to the origin of the
Human species and
everything in between and beyond. . . . Thanks, Carl, for sharing with us
your unique perspective and extraordinary vision. . . May God rest your
enlightened soul.
An interesting
note: Carl's mother was born Rachel Gruber (see Lineage Page). I wonder
just how closely related I am to the "Showman of Science." |
