/sci/ - Science & Math

fuck yeah. Im going to smoke a bowl in his honour tonight

>>4018299
and watch some Cosmos of course

I knew /sci/ would remember

smoke weed erryday

I don't get the obsession with Carl Sagan.

He smoked pot and wrote some shitty essays. WOW.

>>4018341
a lot of people grew up watching Comsos and he is just an awesome man

>>4018341
He single handedly launched the voyager spacecraft with his dick

Happy birthday Carl Sagan.
You are remembered!
We won't forget you.

that feel when you will never get to smoke cannabis with Mr. Sagan.

Trufax

>>4018351
LMFAO

>>4018351
>single handedly
>with dick
wat

>>4018341
He legitimizes the addiction of stoners.

He also had a bunch of poetry about astronomy, which were nice, but not really worthy of all the praise he receives.

>>4018399
Something had to stimulate the dick.

>>4018403
>>4018341

i bet you are a lot of fun at parties

>>4018341
He reached out and opened up a whole new generation of young people to science. To me that is more valuable than someone that publishes a thousand papers.

>>4018427

>Ad hominem

Fitting right in with all the other tripfags, I see.

>mfw today's my birthday

>>4018427
>parties

GTFO my /sci/

>>4018428
That is what stupid teen science fans will say about Michio Kaku years from now.

>>4018429
and you're a faggot

yfw you realize the JU55 comet contains atoms from carl sagan

>>4018428

Then you're retarded. Most people that contributed great things to their respective fields were fascinated by the field itself, not someone else's poems.

Most of the people he "reached out" to are moronic stoners that watch History Channel Pop Science bullshit.

>>4018438
>kaku made fun of murrika, I am buttranged.

>>4018444
more exposure for science is always good, stop being an angry hipster.

>>4018444
what's wrong with pop science? Too mainstream for you?

>>4018452
one person opening thousands of people up to science means hundreds of people publishing at least many tens of papers.

Carl sagan is worth more scientific papers than a single person who publishes 500 papers.

>>4018444

are you already somebody's angry dad or do you have to get married and all that first

>>4018448
I'm not even an american.

I guess you're one of those retard pop sci fans huh

>>4018459
>>4018455

Nope.avi

When retards are exposed to (Especially Pop) science shit like Quantum Jumping comes out.

Suck a cock.

>>4018438
>thinking kaku will even remotely be as esteemed as uncle Sagan will.

Fuck off.

>>4018466
I loved that show

>>4018466

lmao you do realize this is the exact rhetoric the catholic church used to keep people from reading the bible in the middle ages, right?

After watching episode 2 or 3 of cosmos(the one on evolution) I have taken up the task of saving the human species from itself.

Gentlemen, here is what I propose:

I need bitches. Hundreds of intelligent and moderately successful women and I will impregnate all of them. I must keep impregnating them until my offspring outnumber the offspring of lower class less intelligent people.

Together, we can do this.

>>4018478

They were right in their own way.

>lmao
>>>/b/

>>4018466
>doesn't like quantum jumping

Fuck you too, buddy.

Can't wait for 2013, when Neil Tyson does the sequel/update to Cosmos.

>>4018478
They were smart. Do you think the intelligent elite class would still believe in it if they had the opportunity to read it?

>>4018482
>intelligent
>women

>>4018494

obscurantism runs counter to everything science stands for

you do not belong on this board

Do you guys think Sagan was into trap porn? He looks like a person that was into trap porn.

>>4018504

Misconstruing everything to shit, harming the entire field and humanity when the misunderstood concepts spread is even worse.

Please refrain from browsing this site until you turn 18.

>>4018504
Except it's not science. We're talking about the Catholic church.

>obscurantism runs counter to everything science stands for

What does science "stand for"? You're conflating your personal ideals with supposed scientific ideals, of which there are none. Science is what it is--it has no political manifesto. It's up to scientists to administer it as we please.

>>4018524

>It's up to scientists to administer it as we please

"a special group of men, in special robes, with special books and instruments, are the only ones who can truly understand the mysteries of the world"

look, it's very obvious you view science as a religion and want it to stay that way, and that's fine in itself, but if that's the case you have to give up any claims to superiority over religion, astrology, or other belief systems

>>4018560
lol you so buttmad

>>4018567

lol you got no counterargument

>>4018567
>>4018570
you both mad

>>4018579

cool as a cucumber

>>4018581
there we have it, the winner of the argument

>>4018341
>>4018403
He was also well known for his astronomical research the solar system you dipshits, in addition to his contribution to popularizing science which is just as tangible as the research itself.

>>4018619
example?
