Yeah. I first saw a poster of it in my history classroom in sixth grade - when I was living in Germany - and it's such a striking image, it has stuck with me since then. I really want to find a poster of it. If you know of a place that makes them, I'd love to know.

Quoted: FYI, The picture is labeled as Tasr Bomba but it's actually a French test "Licorne" in 1970.That's a good one. Almost looks like a painting. |

(I'm almost as bad, I only know 6 of them) I graduated in May with a BS in Biology, and I know off the top of my head at least one of the contributions each of Schrodinger, Pauli, Heisenberg, Dirac, Compton, de Broglie, Bohr, Planck, Curie, Lorentz, and Einstein. I also recognize the names of Ehrenfest, Debye, and Langmuir. |

OP, never ask a scientist for philosophy.
Sagan saw a picture of earth as a dot and viewed us as insignificant, like a kid looking up at the night sky. But try this: Go out and look up at the night sky tonight. And think about this: of everything that you can see, all indications are that your planet has the only intelligent, sentient, life. Are we pawns in the universe, or is the universe a pawn in our minds? Why do we have such contempt for our apparently unique ability to appreciate existence? To rephrase that: According to all available data, we are the only significance in the universe. How's that for thought provoking? |
