Cosmos: Possible Worlds

This should help get us through these tough times. Now airing on the National Geographic channel.



From the companion book:

“'If science, like art, is to perform its mission truly and fully, its
achievements must enter not only superficially but with their inner meaning into the consciousess of the people.' [Einstein] This always has been and always will be, the dream of Cosmos..."

“A world that tiny cannot possibly be the center of a cosmos of all that is, let alone the sole focus of its creator. The pale blue dot is a silent rebuke to the fundamentalist, the nationalist, the militarist, the polluter—to anyone who does not put above all other things the protection of our little planet and the life that it sustains in the vast cold darkness.”

“This is one of the things I love about science. When the evidence for a slightly older universe was discovered, there were no scientists who sought to suppress it. As soon as the new data were verified, this revision in our understanding was embraced by the whole scientific community. That permanently revolutionary attitude, that openness to change, at the heart of science is what makes it so effective.”
