TIME LIFE: The Universe

•

Carl Sagan once stated that the size and age of the Cosmos are beyond ordinary human understanding. Lost somewhere between immensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home. In a cosmic perspective, most human concerns seem insignificant, even petty. And yet our species is young and curious and brave and shows much promise. The Cosmos he spoke of, our own, has fascinated me ever since I was a child. Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking, Neil Degrasse Tyson all formed my childhood love of the universe and its great many aspects. The idea that something exists which is so vast that we cannot comprehend it has always been a point of interest for me, as well as any space enthusiast.
