About Carl Sagan
Carl Edward Sagan (9 November 1934 – 20 December 1996) was an American astronomer, planetary scientist, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist, author, and science communicator. His best known scientific contribution is research on extraterrestrial life, including experimental demonstration of the production of amino acids from basic chemicals by radiation. Sagan assembled the first physical messages sent into space, the Pioneer plaque and the Voyager Golden Record, universal messages that could potentially be understood by any extraterrestrial intelligence that might find them. Sagan argued the hypothesis, accepted since, that the high surface temperatures of Venus can be attributed to, and calculated using, the greenhouse effect. He testified to the US Congress in 1985 that the greenhouse effect will change the earth's climate system.

Additional quotes by Carl Sagan
Cannabis also enhances the enjoyment of sex — on the one hand it gives an exquisite sensitivity, but on the other hand it postpones orgasm: in part by distracting me with the profusion of image passing before my eyes. The actual duration of orgasm seems to lengthen greatly, but this may be the usual experience of time expansion which comes with cannabis smoking.
«يعيش القرن الثالث عشر جنبًا إلى جنب مع القرن العشرين ليس فقط في بيوت الفلاحين وإنما — أيضًا — في ناطحات السحاب الكائنة في المدن. فمائة مليون شخص يستخدمون الكهرباء وما زالوا يعتقدون في القوى السحرية للإشارات والتعاويذ ... وكما يذهب نجوم السينما إلى الوسطاء الروحانيين، كذلك فإن الطيارين الذين يقودون آلات معجزة أوجدتها عبقرية الإنسان يضعون التمائم في ستراتهم، فيا لَهَوْل ما لديهم من مخزون لا ينفذ من الظلام والجهل والهمجية!»
