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.

Или: „Децата, които гледат насилие по телевизията, са по-склонни към насилие, когато пораснат.“ Но дали телевизията причинява насилието, или децата със склонност към насилие просто обичат да гледат подобни програми? Много е вероятно и двете твърдения да са верни. Комерсиалните защитници на телевизионното насилие твърдят, че всеки може да направи разлика между телевизия и действителност. Но понастоящем детските програми в събота сутрин излъчват средно по 25 акта на насилие на час. Това най-малкото прави децата по-малко чувствителни към агресията и проявите на безсмислена жестокост. И ако на податливите на внушение възрастни могат да бъдат имплантирани фалшиви спомени, какво имплантираме в децата си, при положение че ги излагаме на около 100 000 акта на насилие още преди да са завършили началното училище?
