Our Pale Blue Dot - A Thanksgiving (VIDEO)

Thanks to Dr. Carl Sagan & his memory to remind us to honor our " mother ". The only planet we have, in all likelihood, or at LEAST the CLOSEST that can harbor our life - forms.

Happy Thanksgiving to all who dwell on the good Spaceship Earth, with a wish for Peace.

I was never a " Groupie " who hung on every word that Dr. Sagan uttered, but he was a voice for peace, rationality, & sensibility. A man who cared about his own fragile home planet as much as he did about the search for extra - terrestrial life and intelligence.

His " heir - apparent " would be Dr. Neill DeGrasse Tyson, whom I have seen on " NOVA Science NOW " & the History Channel's " History of the Universe ". A very clever, warm, intelligent man like Carl Sagan.

Pale-Blue-Dot astronomers:

Although Ptolemy thought the Sun revolved around the Earth. he also concluded that the Earth should be treated as a mathematical point in the Universe. Now, since a mathematical point is infinitely smaller than a "pale blue dot," do we conclude that Ptolemy must have been humbler and wiser than modern astronomers? Well, maybe I'm being nasty and objective, when I should be misty-eyed and subjective. I might be a candidate for sensitivity training.

Unlike "pale-blue-dot" astronomers, I don't try to feel-the-pain of the robbed (nor do I try to feel-the-pleasure of the robbers). To pretend to know the pain of others is to belittle the pain of others.

From a comfortable armchair or a speaker's podium, all the human trials (pains, pleasures, joys, loves, etc.) can only be reduced to a "pale blue dot" by Pride. Such thinking is not insightful. Such thinking comes from the worst form of pride: taking pride in humility. Trying to synthesize people with their planet is called Pantheism - not Astronomy.

I love and am used to keeping a distance with those changed things.Only in this way can I know what will not be abandoned by time. Forexample, when you love someone, changes are all around. Then I stepbackward and watching it silently, then I see the true feelings.

THE LOST:

To break the restriction of a linear time sequence, the Lost need empirical data - uncorrupted, honest data. However, the Lost have filtered all their data with a scientific-religious presumption: a finite universe with a finite number of dimensions.

The Lost do not understand, nor do they perceive their conflict with the Infinite Universe and the Infinite number of dimensions...

"...nothing can be added to it,
nor anything taken from it..."
(Ecclesiastes 3:14)
