A Pale Blue Dot by Carl Sagan?

P.S. writes a hate filled, racist and bigotted answer and people give it 5 thumbs up? wtf is wrong with this community?

Edit: My apologies to all, this guy has been posting stuff all over and getting five thumbs up straight away, so he's clearly using socks to vote for himself.

Sagan's book looks at human exploration of the universe and speculates about it's future. It's a good book, enjoy it.

Here is a website for it. This shows you the picture of the pale blue dot that is the planet Earth.

It makes you think about how small that we are and how much there might be out there that we have yet to learn. I find it all very interesting!

Carl Sagan was a good astrophysicist. But he was a poor student of human nature in particular and of nature-compelled behavior in general. He habitually made the liberal assumption that everyone is equal, that human differences are only skin-deep, that nature does its best work by getting living creatures to cooperate and compromise with one another.

None of those things is true.

It just goes to show that competence in one field does not automatically carry over into other fields. Sagan's a good writer, but the implicit social premises in his writing are more fictional than the story itself. Sagan did astrophysics well, which proves that he was a smart guy, but smartness requires training in order to become wisdom. While Sagan was wise about stars, he wasn't wise about such things as racial differences or racial competition.

right this is the only i like the main. it somewhat is Sagan clarify bigger dimensions (the fourth length especially). right that's the link. relish. replace: could no longer agree extra Lithium - My video section is from the Cosmos sequence.
