Billions & Billions
Billions & Billions: Thoughts on Life and Death at the Brink of the Millennium | Carl Sagan
6 posts | 10 read | 8 to read
In the final book of his astonishing career, Carl Sagan brilliantly examines the burning questions of our lives, our world, and the universe around us. These luminous, entertaining essays travel both the vastness of the cosmos and the intimacy of the human mind, posing such fascinating questions as how did the universe originate and how will it end, and how can we meld science and compassion to meet the challenges of the coming century? Here, too, is a rare, private glimpse of Sagan's thoughts about love, death, and God as he struggled with fatal disease. Ever forward-looking and vibrant with the sparkle of his unquenchable curiosity, Billions & Billions is a testament to one of the great scientific minds of our day. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Slightly dated but Sagan still reads enjoyable with thought provoking information. A good general primer on the subject.

✨I'm an emotional wreck today. I feel so invested in SpaceX. I've been waiting since 2011 for this day. I wish Carl Sagan was alive to see this, but he's all around us watching our pale blue dot. I wish all of the human race knew how important this is for humanity and our existence and continuing of.
✨Falcon Heavy delayed due to wind shear 2:20 pm EST. 🚀💜

Moray_Reads @abbsinwonderland I've never seen anything so incredible and so bizarre at the same time. And the "DON'T PANIC" in the centre console ? 6y
abbsinwonderland @Moray_Reads And the whole David Bowie theme! Starman! And them playing life on Mars. Ughhh loved it all sooo much 6y
Moray_Reads Ah well. 2 out of 3 ain't bad! Congrats to the SpaceX team anyway, those two cores touching down in near-perfect synchronization was just incredible regardless of centre core's loss! 6y
abbsinwonderland @Moray_Reads 😔😔 I may have cried, but I listened to the tech live stream like five times and yep. It's gone. I wonder how the droneship is. Either way, amazing day yesterday and Starman is still goin strong! 6y
Moray_Reads @abbsinwonderland they're pushing those boundaries though! ✊✊ 6y
