More From Carl Sagan

I never said it. honest. oh, i said there are maybe 100 billion galaxies and 10 billion trillion stars. it's hard to talk about the cosmos without using big numbers. i said "billion" many times on the cosmos television series, which was seen by a great many people. but i never said "billions and billions." for one thing, it's too imprecise. how many billions are "billions and billions"? a few billion? twenty billion? a hundred billion? "billions and billions" is pretty vague. when we reconfigured and updated the series, i checked-and sure enough, i never said it.

You know; when i look at the night sky and i see this enormous splendor of stars and galaxies, i sometimes ask the question, well how many worlds are we talking about? well do the math, there are about 100 billion galaxies that are in the visible universe and each galaxy in turn contains about 100 billion stars, you multiply and you get about ten billion trillion stars. well i think it is the height of arrogance to believe that we are alone in the universe, my attitude is that the universe is teaming, teaming with different kinds of life forms
Stars Attitude Believe
In 5 billion years, the expansion of the universe will have progressed to the point where all other galaxies will have receded beyond detection. indeed, they will be receding faster than the speed of light, so detection will be impossible. future civilizations will discover science and all its laws, and never know about other galaxies or the cosmic background radiation. they will inevitably come to the wrong conclusion about the universe......we live in a special time, the only time, where we can observationally verify that we live in a special time.

Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.

What is missing in a lot of urban music is perspective. you hear a lot of regurgitated perspective. it's a lot of: out at the club. had drinks. patrón. big booties. it's this regurgitated idea of living in this, i don't know, one-night-stand moment that always starts at the club and patrón. and so perspective, perspective, perspective is what i'm an advocate of.

We live on a hunk of rock and metal that circles a humdrum star that is one of 400 billion other stars that make up the milky way galaxy which is one of billions of other galaxies which make up a universe which may be one of a very large number, perhaps an infinite number, of other universes. that is a perspective on human life and our culture that is well worth pondering.

Many of our greatest musicians abandoned all of their aesthetic objectives to try to become pertinent. and, at the end of the day, they never became pop stars. i counter stated that very strongly, and i continue to do that.

Anyone could become a star, but everyone must be a human being.
Stars Humans Human Beings
They adored each other; but still the permanent and the immutable subsist. we may love and laugh, pout, clasp hands, smile, and exchange endearments, but that does not affect eternity. two lovers hide in the dusk of evening, amid flowers and the twittering of birds, and enchant each other with their hearts shinning in their eyes; but the stars in their course still circle through infinite space.
