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
I think the ratio, R, of the time to sense the dose taken to the time required to take an excessive dose is an important quantity. R is very large for LSD (which I've never taken) and reasonably short for cannabis. Small values of R should be one measure of the safety of psychedelic drugs. When cannabis is legalized, I hope to see this ratio as one of the parameters printed on the pack. I hope that time isn't too distant; the illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world.'''

বিজ্ঞান একটি স্ববিরোধী সমন্বয়ঃ একদিকে এটা সব ধরণের চিন্তাভাবনার প্রতি সম্পূর্ণ খোলামন; সে চিন্তা যতই এলোমেলো , বিভ্রান্তিকর শোনাক না কেন, যতই বিস্ময়কর হোক না কেন! আমি যতই এগিয়ে চলি, সময় শ্লথ হয়ে আসে, গতিপথের দিকে আমি চুপসে যেতে থাকি এবং একই সাথে আকারে বড় হতে থাকি। এটা অবিশ্বাস্য। অণুজগতের ক্ষেত্রে একটি পরমাণু হয় এ জায়গায় থাকবে, নয় ও জায়গায়- কিন্তু মাঝামাঝি থাকার ক্ষেত্রে নিষেধাজ্ঞা রয়েছে।
এটা একটি উদ্দাম চিন্তা! কিন্তু প্রথমটা হচ্ছে বিশেষ আপেক্ষিকতার একটা সূত্র, আর দ্বিতীয়টা কোয়ান্টাম বলবিদ্যার ফল। আপনার ভালো লাগুক আর না লাগুক-এটা হচ্ছে বিশ্বজগৎ।
