Symphony of Science - "We Are All Connected"

[Bring4th_Austin]

Every episode is dripping with quotes like this. Of course Carl always insists that there is no proof of paranormal stuff including UFOs and spiritual phenomena of all kinds. I'm guessing he was illuminati and oath-bound to downplay this stuff on penalty of death.

Maybe it's simply because he knew he couldn't go outside the box if he wanted to keep his standing. It seems he tried his hardest to make sure we got the message though; he also wrote the novel Contact as well as helped make the movie. AND he believed that whales and dolphins were a similar class of intelligent beings as humans.

thanks yossarian, i watched all the symphony of science vids after seeing this one and i was so struck by the things carl sagan said that i've ordered the dvds of cosmos - looking forward to watching them even more so after reading your post!

I'm happy I could bring Carl into your life, he's taught me a lot.

What's 'really going on'?

I was referring to the idea that life is more than a random physical construct, contained in a random physical reality, something not very accepted in mainstream science. I figured, at it's simplest, that is something most members of this board would regard as the truth .
