@@charleBerglund Indeed. Carl envisioned this. We're making a mess of this planet.....the only home we've ever known. Greenland lost an unimaginable amount of ice last year. The sheer number is staggering. No end in sight. The warming will continue unabated. As usual with humans, by the time we react it will likely be too little too late, ultimately forcing us to rely on an AS YET UNKNOWN technology to reduce the carbon in the atmosphere. I fear for the future we are leaving to the children.

Me too Madam/Sir. I also like many others before me, discovered who he truly was as I got older. I say truly -as previous to figuring him out, I thought he was just one of the many motivational authors who wrote books about gemstones and or mystic healing etc. I say this as I first came across his name as a teenager while with my girlfriend in some shop in Edinburgh. The kind of establishment that sold Dreamcatchers and patchouli oil and the like. Oh how so wrong I was..... I suppose I wasn’t so much interested in astronomy either at that time. As a broad talking Edinburger, I love that cracking NY drawl of his also.....

Well not to oneupmanship you but was lucky enough to grow up knowing of him. Carl Sagan wrote a book called The Dragoons Of Eden. Very easy reading and not too much jargon. When I was in my late teens in college and needed an elective course so I too the easy way out and signed up for Astrology . Figured I could dazzle the girls here in San Diego and tell their fortune. HaHa turned out to be Astronomy not Astrology. Out of pure shame i stayed in the class. I made it my minor and no regrets . Never saw this before , great to see Mr. Sagan before he exploded on the scene.

Still, it wasn't till better astronomical data (Hubble Telescope among others) actually proved that Black Holes were the cause of quasars. Also, semi-recently, people finding the Supermassive Black Hole in our own galaxy after 10 years of studying it. Then, closer to now, that our own galaxy had a quasar some 6 million years ago. An they are still finding things, like the recent discovery that we don't have 1 but 2 supermassive black holes in the center of our galaxy, 2nd one smaller but still quite massive and probably in a decaying orbit.

I agree--the older technology is more appealing to me, perhaps because, like radio, it requires you to use your imagination to complete the images. The black-and-white video also has that effect. For the same reason, I've always preferred the Pioneer 10 and 11 pictures of Jupiter and Saturn to the Voyagers' pictures, even though their vidicon television cameras had higher resolution than the Pioneers' spin-scan IPPs (Imaging Photo-Polarimeters). The Pioneers didn't return very detailed pictures of Jupiter's or Saturn's moons, of course (and they didn't photograph Amalthea or Jupiter's other, smaller [non-Galilean] satellites at all), but had they approached the satellites more closely, the spin-scan images would have been better.

We can see the provinciality of previous conceptions of numbers - 2 is associated with female, and one with male. Or the names of various digits were originally describing this or that anatomical feature from which counting origins of numbers arose. What about geometry though?

All I can think of provincial conceptions of geometry are a period when geometric concepts were not so well defined as even the Greeks(mostly based on the straightedge and compass). A geometric line was the all the physical properties that make up the drawing of the line - the chalk, or ink. The fact that many different physical manifestations of the abstract line concept wasn't deprovintialized till Pythagoras, at least. The process of idealization and abstraction deprovincialises.

Mathematics today, is still struggling to deprovincialize. It's not sure what foundations - symbolic logic, set theory(kind of related really), intuitionalism(really just a fight over what set of axioms to choose), . . . should mathematics be based on geometry, or numbers? That's always been a intellectual struggle in mathematics. The Greeks viewed numbers geometrically. It's only with the deprovincialism from the geometric algebra that algebra and numbers advanced far beyond.

the Beginning music sounds like what my old 8track player used to sound like back in the 70s..
