The Grey Knights is a secret, mysterious Loyalist Chapter of Space Marines specifically tasked. Carl Sagan Wikiquote. Carl Edward Sagan 9 November. December. 19. 96 was an American astronomer and popular science writer. There is a place with four suns in the sky red, white, blue, and yellow two of them are so close together that they touch, and star stuff flows between them. I know of a world with a million moons. The Space Wolves, known in their own dialect of Juvjk as the Vlka Fenryka or Wolves of Fenris. Kilauea Mount Etna Mount Yasur Mount Nyiragongo and Nyamuragira Piton de la Fournaise Erta Ale. I know of a sun the size of the Earth and made of diamond. There are atomic nuclei a few miles across which rotate thirty times a second. There are tiny grains between the stars, with the size and atomic composition of bacteria. There are stars leaving the Milky Way, and immense gas clouds falling into it. There are turbulent plasmas writhing with X and gamma rays and mighty stellar explosions. Un libro del latn liber, libri es una obra impresa, manuscrita o pintada en una serie de hojas de papel, pergamino, vitela u otro material, unidas por un lado es. There are, perhaps, places which are outside our universe. The universe is vast and awesome, and for the first time we are becoming a part of it. Planetary Exploration University of Oregon Books, Eugene, Oregon, 1. It is easy to create an interstellar radio message which can be recognized as emanating unambiguously from intelligent beings. A modulated signal beep, beep beep,. A signal of this kind, based on a simple mathematical concept, could only have a biological origin. But by far the most promising method is to send pictures. Smithsonian magazine, May 1. Quoted in Awake magazine, 1. Imagine, a room, awash in gasoline. And there are two implacable enemies in that room. One of them has 9,0. The other has 7,0. Each of them is concerned about whos ahead, whos stronger. Well, thats the kind of situation we are actually in. The amount of weapons that are available to the United States and the Soviet Union are so bloated, so grossly in excess of whats needed to dissuade the other that if it werent so tragic, it would be laughable. It seems to me what is called for is an exquisite balance between two conflicting needs the most skeptical scrutiny of all hypotheses that are served up to us and at the same time a great openness to new ideas If you are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you On the other hand, if you are open to the point of gullibility and have not an ounce of skeptical sense in you, then you cannot distinguish the useful ideas from the worthless ones. In science it often happens that scientists say, You know thats a really good argument my position is mistaken, and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesnt happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion. Keynote address at CSICOP conference 1. Do Science and the Bible Conflict Judson Poling, p. We live in a society absolutely dependent on science and technology and yet have cleverly arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. Thats a clear prescription for disaster. Not explaining science seems to me perverse. When youre in love, you want to tell the world. Weve arranged a society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science and technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people dont know anything about it I know that science and technology are not just cornucopias pouring good deeds out into the world. Scientists not only conceived nuclear weapons they also took political leaders by the lapels, arguing that their nation whichever it happened to be had to have one first. Theres a reason people are nervous about science and technology. And so the image of the mad scientist haunts our worldfrom Dr. Faust to Dr. Frankenstein to Dr. Strangelove to the white coated loonies of Saturday morning childrens television. All this doesnt inspire budding scientists. But theres no way back. We cant just conclude that science puts too much power into the hands of morally feeble technologists or corrupt, power crazed politicians and decide to get rid of it. Advances in medicine and agriculture have saved more lives than have been lost in all the wars in history. Advances in transportation, communication, and entertainment have transformed the world. The sword of science is double edged. Rather, its awesome power forces on all of us, including politicians, a new responsibility more attention to the long term consequences of technology, a global and transgenerational perspective, an incentive to avoid easy appeals to nationalism and chauvinism. Mistakes are becoming too expensive. Why We Need To Understand Science in The Skeptical Inquirer Vol. Issue 3 Spring 1. Science is much more than a body of knowledge. It is a way of thinking. This is central to its success. Science invites us to let the facts in, even when they dont conform to our preconceptions. It counsels us to carry alternative hypotheses in our heads and see which ones best match the facts. It urges on us a fine balance between no holds barred openness to new ideas, however heretical, and the most rigorous skeptical scrutiny of everything new ideas and established wisdom. We need wide appreciation of this kind of thinking. It works. Its an essential tool for a democracy in an age of change. Our task is not just to train more scientists but also to deepen public understanding of science. San Francisco Jazz Collective Rar. Why We Need To Understand Science in The Skeptical Inquirer Vol. Issue 3 Spring 1. Science is. a way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then were up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along. The idea that God is an oversized white male with a flowing beard who sits in the sky and tallies the fall of every sparrow is ludicrous. But if by God one means the set of physical laws that govern the universe, then clearly there is such a God. This God is emotionally unsatisfying. As quoted in Scientists Their Gods in U. S. News World Report Vol. Humans who enslave, castrate, experiment on, and fillet other animals have had an understandable penchant for pretending animals do not feel pain. A sharp distinction between humans and animals is essential if we are to bend them to our will, make them work for us, wear them, eat them without any disquieting tinges of guilt or regret. It is unseemly of us, who often behave so unfeelingly toward other animals, to contend that only humans can suffer. The behavior of other animals renders such pretensions specious. They are just too much like us. Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors 1. Ann DruyanIn fact, the thickness of the Earths atmosphere, compared with the size of the Earth, is in about the same ratio as the thickness of a coat of shellac on a schoolroom globe is to the diameter of the globe. Thats the air that nurtures us and almost all other life on Earth, that protects us from deadly ultraviolet light from the sun, that through the greenhouse effect brings the surface temperature above the freezing point.
