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
Не смятам, че науката се преподава трудно, защото хората не са готови за нея, защото се е появила случайно или защото хората като общо не са достатъчно интелигентни, за да се справят с нея. Напротив — огромната жажда за наука, която виждам в първокласниците, и полученият от оцелелите ловци и събиратели урок са достатъчно красноречиви. Дълбоко в нас — независимо от времето, мястото и културата — е заложена склонност към науката. Тя е средството, благодарение на което сме оцелели. Тя е наше рождено право. Когато със своето безразличие, невнимание, некомпетентност и страх от скептицизма откъсваме децата от науката, ние всъщност ги лишаваме от техните права. Отнемаме им сечивата, от които ще се нуждаят, за да изградят своето бъдеще.
"She had to fight against developing too combative a personality or becoming altogether a misanthrope. She suddenly caught herself. "Misanthrope" is someone who dislikes everybody, not just men.
And they certainly had a word for someone who hates women: "misogynist." But the male lexicographers had somehow neglected to coin a word for the dislike of men. They were almost entirely men themselves, she thought, and had been unable to imagine a market for such a word."

Science is generated by and devoted to free inquiry: the idea that any hypothesis, no matter how strange, deserves to be considered on its merits. The suppression of uncomfortable ideas may be common in religion and politics, but it is not the path to knowledge; it has no place in the endeavor of science. We do not know in advance who will discover fundamental new insights.
