He pioneered exobiology and promoted the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI). He is world-famous for writing popular science books and for co-writing and presenting the award-winning 1980 television series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage, which has been seen by more than 600 million people in over 60 countries, making it the most widely watched PBS program in history. A book to accompany the program was also published. He also wrote the novel Contact, the basis for the 1997 Robert Zemeckis film of the same name starring Jodie Foster. During his lifetime, Sagan published more than 600 scientific papers and popular articles and was author, co-author, or editor of more than 20 books. In his works, he frequently advocated skeptical inquiry, secular humanism, and the scientific method. From Wikipedia under the

Q. Which one has the oddest accent? Asked by Hyde - Tue May 12 16:04:10 2009 - - 17 Answers - 0 Comments A. Irrespective of the accent and whether they are extant or extinct, I'd imagine that Stephen and Carl would find the most to talk about because they are both theoretical physicists. But the surprise of having a talking pig with a speech defect with them would likely render both dumb. The pig would be the only one talking, so his accent would be the oddest.
