We are the cosmos made conscious and life is the means by which the universe understands itself.

Every carbon atom in every living thing on the planet was produced in the heart of a dying star.

For me, Woody Allen's 'Manhattan' defines New York. Both New York and Manhattan Island should be in black in white! I always hear the soundtrack of Gershwin in my head every time I go over the Queensboro Bridge, or come in from JFK because of it!

There is so much left of it to explore.

For the first time, we saw our world, not as a solid, immovable, kind of indestructible place, but as a very small, fragile-looking world just hanging against the blackness of space.

We have written the evidence of our existence onto the surface of our planet. Our civilisation has become a beacon, that identifies our planet as home to life.

Science is different to all other systems of thought because you dont need faith in it, you can check that it works.
