Ғылым және технология
Cosmic Conversation: The 2021 Distinguished Carl Sagan Lecture by Ann Druyan, Peabody and Emmy Award-winning writer, producer, and director. With her late husband, Carl Sagan, co-wrote the “Cosmos,” series and the duo also co-authored six New York Times best-selling books, including Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors and The Demon-Haunted World. She was the Creative Director of NASA’s Voyager Interstellar Message Project, that took shape here at Cornell in 1977 under Carl Sagan’s lead and sent the golden records affixed to the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecrafts out into the cosmos with music and images designed to introduce Earth to possible alien civilizations. During this Cornell Reunion event, she joined a conversation with Professor Lisa Kaltenegger: director of the Carl Sagan Institute at Cornell; Associate Professor in Astronomy; and current inhabitant of Professor Sagan’s old office in the Space Sciences Building.

Love that answer: "When you are in love you want to tell the world." Very similar to how Leonard Bernstein was passionate about explaining music with his Young Peoples Concerts.
Ann and Carl.. what a team! I feel exceptionally privileged to have lived around the same time as those two.
Oh my 2yrs late but so glad i found this. The gracious Ann Druyan. We kiwi folk love her. Thank you for this wonderful interview ❤
Science as Carl Sagan told us is as close to spirituality as humans can get. I am from India. I felt the same awe and humbleness as I would feel in a beautiful south indian temple when I watched cosmos with utter silence and thrill It was not any short than the holy I felt.
Went to IC for 2 semesters during Covid, lived in the commons next to the Sagan planet walk

Ann is so correct. We are highly developed tool makers, but have collectively lost the wisdom of balance over the totality our designated life spans.
Carl Sagan was a good person. But life is a rare and unique evolution process by natural selection. Read Peter Ward and Ernst Mayr.
Why so giddy?! 😃
Nuclear, chemical an biological weapons are important to security in a democracy.
Space travel is impossible. Arthur Clarke was wrong. Read Robert Park.
Ecologism is a wrong ideology. Read John Ridpath, Yaron Brook, Ronald Bailey, Patrick Moore, Julian Simon, Patrick Michaels, Bjorn Lomborg and Richard Lindzen.
Carl had a very pretty girl friend who I still admire greatly. Aging just seems cruel. I was a nurses aide in geriatrics for years. A few years only. Alzheimer's disease seams even more cruel for the family members. I'm already 61 !! Don't let people waste your precious time for too many minutes each day. Avoid standing in lines if possible.
