If you combine #BillJoy's #GrayGoo, #CarlSagan's Contact, and Cameron/Hurd's Terminator, you get a material/energy/knowledge enlightenment/armageddon. Huge investments in AI after hoovering knowledge and grinding on π eventually returns a circle: gray goo that is aware of it's own consumed origin.

#CarlSagan's prediction about #America, made 31 years ago.
“We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.”
On what would have been #CarlSagan’s 91st birthday, I reflect on how he helped us look up — and inward — reminding us that #science is a way of seeing, not just knowing.

I remember #CarlSagan’s Cosmos series blowing my mind. I wanted to study astronomy and physics after that.

#CarlSagan's #COSMOS mentioned the #EncyclopediaGalactica, created by #IssacAsimov.
It also referenced “ZZ9 Plural Z Alpha,” which is a nod to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
The origin of the digits for World 806.4616 .0110 remain unknown.

Listening to #CarlSagan's "Demon-Haunted World" while shoveling, it occurs to me that lifetime of psuedoscience & edu-news has brought us to this point in US history: anti-science, anti-intellectual, w/deaths of Truth & critical thinking. BRILLIANT (if depressing) #read/listen. #Booksky

The Pale Blue Dot is a photograph of Earth taken February 14, 1990, by Voyager 1 at a distance of 3.7 billion miles (6 billion kilometers) from the Sun. The image inspired the title of #CarlSagan's book, Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space

I always love hearing #CarlSagan's audio journal entry that he recorded for the first explorers to the #RedPlanet. #Perseverance's landing reminds us of why. "I don't know why you're on Mars... but I'm glad you're there and I wish I was with you." ❤️❤️❤️
