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

"Galileo, Kopernik için helyosantrik (Dünya'nın Güneş'in çevresinde döndüğü gerçeği) varsayımının "onaylayıcısı ve canlandırıcısı" deyimini kullanır. Yoksa onu bu keşfin sahibi kılmaz. Aristarkhos'un dönemiyle Kopernik'in dönemi arasında geçen 1800 yıl boyunca gezegenlerin doğru olarak dizilişini bilen çıkmadı. Oysa MÖ 280 yılında doğru olarak açıklanmıştı. Aristarkhos'un ortaya attığı fikir, çağdaşlarını çileden çıkardı. Anaksagoras'a, Bruno'ya ve Galileo'ya karşı yükselen seslerin benzerleri Aristarkhos'a karşı da yükseldi ve dinsizlikle suçlanması istendi. Aristarkhos ve Kopernik'e karşı gösterilen direniş, Güneş'in yerküre çevresinde dödüğü görüşü günlük yaşamımızda halen de sürmektedir. Hâlâ Güneş'in "doğduğundan" Güneş'in "battığından" söz ederiz. Aristarkhos'un helyosantrizm fikrini ortaya attığından bu yana 2200 yıl geçti ve kullandığımız dil hâlâ yerküremizin dönmediği yolundadır."

The cannabis experience has greatly improved my appreciation for art, a subject which I had never much appreciated before. The understanding of the intent of the artist which I can achieve when high sometimes carries over to when I'm down. This is one of many human frontiers which cannabis has helped me traverse. There also have been some art-related insights — I don't know whether they are true or false, but they were fun to formulate.
