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.

Mi smo ovdašnje utjelovljenje jednog kozmosa koji je izrastao do samosvijesti. Počeli smo razmišljati o našem porijeklu: zvjezdana tvar koja razmišlja o zvijezdama; organizirani skupovi od deset milijardi milijarda atoma koji razmišljaju o evoluciji atoma slijedeći u mislima dugi put na kraju kojeg je, barem ovdje, niknula svijest. Naša je odanost upućena ljudskoj vrsti i planetu. Mi govorimo u ime Zemlje. Obavezu da preživimo ne dugujemo samo sebi samima već i tom kozmosu, prostranom i golemom iz kojeg smo ponikli.
One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.
