A momentous series that is a composite of selected sciences, history and a look at our past, present and future as a species. From the wonders of the stars, to time and evolution, to the search for extraterrestial life, to physics, biology and astronomy versus superstition and astrology, this tackles some of the most relevant questions we have about our earth, ourselves and the cosmos.
Car Sagan is very personable and is able to explain science, using a lot of historical elements and making for a clearer understanding of the common body of knowledge we now possess. As relevant now as when it first aired, the DVD also has some updates that augment the information and continues the various line of thinking. Each episodes is well constructed in themes, content and adds to the growing intrigue. Sagan makes science fun and relatable while not losing much in accurately describing our headways and the questions that remain.
A masterpiece. A must. Like "The Human Animal" (1994) a series that should be part of everyone's culture and education. A basis for many interesting thoughts and discussions.
