History has been my passion for two decades. For me history has always been the High Story of human beings. As time passes the story changes, ever approaching the truth. Like scientists, who of course are all people in white coats laboriously sneaking up sideways on the secrets of the universe, historians are also sneaking up sideways on the store of human history. Science is more today than it was before because scientists today stand on the shoulders of those who went before.
History is the same.
We know more today because we see more than we did before, and we stand on the shoulders of giants. One of those giants was Carl Sagan , a man infinite in mind and vision, a great Renaissance Man. I will miss him. However, I do expect to look on his like again. I first became aware of him in 1980 after moving to Ottawa, and the local PBS station broadcast his Cosmos series.
