sagan|sense (I have approximate answers and possible beliefs...)

This [space] serves as an ongoing dedication to the late Carl Sagan. I will frequently update this page with all things Sagan, science & cosmos-related, in support of scientific literacy & understanding amongst the ever-increasing hominid population on our organic spaceship, Earth.

Keep looking up & remember: we are all star stuff, contemplating the stars, as our origins exist within the cosmos.

May this page bring you closer to your own individual enlightenment, further your knowledge of the universe & allow you to achieve wisdom & connectivity toward all living things for which we all share the same biological, chemical & atomic makeup.

be skeptical. ask questions :) post it forward.

Notes
"I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of certainty about different things but I’m not absolutely sure of anything and on many things I don’t know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask why we’re here and what the question might mean. I might think about it a little but if I can’t figure it out then I go onto something else but I don’t have to know an answer. I don’t feel frightened by not knowing things. By being lost in a mysterious universe without having any purpose, which is the way it is as far as I can tell, possibly. But it doesn’t frighten me."

Richard Feynman.

I love this man. One of the most brilliant men of our time since Einstein, Feynman saw through the educational system, explored the world in a more rational, skeptical way by interacting with the natural world & testing his knowledge & skepticism through experiment.

Once he realized the cause & effect of his contributions to science, more specifically - to the disastrous aftermath of the atomic bomb - he completely swore off the military industry in despise of their actual motives.

His life was well lived as a successful scientist, educator, husband, father, friend. He is succeeded only by those whom he’s inspired & educated through the benchmarks & platforms he established in physics (& science in general) for future generations of all fields.
