We want to give you the power of its permanently revolutionary methodology…to take you for a wild ride on a comet…to surf the neural net of the universe within to explore the infrastructure of a dream…to travel back in time to retrace your origins in the catastrophic explosions of distant suns…to decipher the mysteries of life and get you started on your own search for life and intelligence on other worlds…to experience the Amazonian rain forest as its non-human denizens might…to give you a window seat on an interplanetary spacecraft as it navigates the roiling storms of Jupiter and the perilous but gorgeous ring system of Saturn…to be looking over a scientist’s shoulder as she unearths the two hundred million year secret that compels us to revise our thinking about the dinosaurs…to link you up with the growing worldwide community of people who have come to love the “pale blue dot” and the precious life that it supports…to bring real-time scientific discovery streaming into your life.Ann Druyan ( / ˈ d r iː æ n/ DREE-ann born June 13, 1949) is an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning American documentary producer and director specializing in the communication of science. We intend to demystify the language, values, and drama of science. We aim to tear down the walls that have excluded the rest of us from the scientific enterprise. Meanwhile the real-time unfolding of the grandeur of the universe is treated as an aside blandly reported, if at all. And yet, our most dazzling entertainment capabilities are reserved for material that is largely substance-free.
Learning is now viewed as a lifelong pursuit. The lines between commerce, education, entertainment and every other aspect of human activity blur to the point of vanishing. Advances in visual resolution, interactivity and virtual reality make it possible to place the joystick of exploration in every hand to open the galaxies, the atom and the cell for personal reconnaissance. Our planetary civilization is in the later stages of becoming a wholly intercommunicating organism. At the same time, high technology-based media are also in a period of dramatic development, enabling us to widely share this newly dawning consciousness with a previously undreamt of degree of verisimilitude. The social, cultural and spiritual implications of this upheaval are incalculable. In this fourth century of the scientific revolution, our understanding of nature and the universe is expanding in all directions.
