Iincwadi ezi-3 ezilungileyo zikaCarl Sagan

Iyenzeka kunqabile. I-cadence apho isazinzulu siphela sisiba ngumxhasi osebenzayo siphindaphindwa ngokuhambelana nokulungelelaniswa kweeplanethi zethu ezisibhozo. Kwimeko yethu, sinokucaphula UEduard Punset. Kwinqanaba lehlabathi uCarl Sagan Ungomnye walabo banxibelelanisi abahlukeneyo, abaphuma kwicandelo lezenzululwazi ukuze basikhanyisele sonke, abemi bomqolomba.

Kwaye ke, ngaphezu kweminyaka engamashumi amabini anesihlanu emva kokufa kwakhe, iincwadi zakhe ezifunyenweyo zisakhutshelwa isizathu sokuqhubeka kweyona mveliso ithengiswa kakhulu. Ukusuka kwiinkwenkwezi ukuya emthunzini siphosa. Uhambo noSagan luba nobuhlobo ngakumbi, uguqulo lobuchule bobugcisa busondela kuthi ngesidima somzekeliso okanye umzekeliso onxulumene nabafundi.

Zazidume ngeenkqubo zakhe zikamabonwakude ezahlukeneyo apho wakhula khona njengomntu othetha ngemicimbi yemihla ngemihla ukuba agqibe ngokujongana nemicimbi engaphaya kwengqondo njengokutshintsha kwexesha okanye ukufunyanwa kobomi kwezinye iiplanethi.

Ndikhumbula ngokukhethekileyo into ekhethekileyo awayenzayo ngeYiputa yamandulo. Ngenxa yokuba ezo zilumko zamandulo nazo zabeka iziseko zazo zenzululwazi ngeenkwenkwezi. Ngeso sihlandlo u-Sagan wayenokuqinisekisa zonke iiplanethi ezisicaba ezisekho kulo mhlaba kubungqina bendawo yethu engafezekanga ukuba kufuneka bayibone ukuze bayikholelwe.

Ukulula ukubamba ukuba uSagan atshintshele kwiincwadi zakhe. Uyolo lokufunda lokwenyani kuye nabani na ophuphayo ekwazi ngakumbi malunga neyona nto ingaziwayo engqondweni yakhe engalungiswanga kangako okanye engafundanga kwisayensi ...

Kukwayinyani ukuba ukubhala inoveli, xa umntu engabhalwanga kakhulu malunga nokubhala iintsomi, udinga isifundo esinomdla. Kwaye uSagan wachitha zonke iiyure zakhe ekhangela inzala yobomi phaya. Yiloo nto awayesoloko eyikhangela kwinoveli yakhe, unxibelelwano ...

Emva kweminyaka emihlanu yokukhangela okungapheliyo kunye nezixhobo ezintsonkothileyo ngalo mzuzu, isazi ngeenkwenkwezi u-Eleanor Arroway ulawula, kunye neqela lezenzululwazi zamanye amazwe, ukunxibelelana nenkwenkwezi uVega kwaye ubonise ukuba asisodwa kwindalo iphela.

Uhambo olukhawulezayo luqala emva koko ukuya kweyona ntlanganiso ilindelweyo kwimbali yoluntu, kwaye nayo uCarl Sagan uphakamisa ngobuchule indlela ukwamkelwa kwemiyalezo evela kwimpucuko ekrelekrele kuya kuchaphazela uluntu lwethu.

I-Contacto, i-Locus Prize 1986, iphuhlisa enye yezinto ezingaguquguqukiyo kumsebenzi wombhali: ukukhangela ubukrelekrele bangaphandle komhlaba kunye nokunxibelelana nayo ngokusebenzisa i-space probes. Ngo-1997, umlawuli wefilimu uRobert Zemeckis wazisa eli bali kwisikrini esikhulu, kwifilimu ehamba noJodie Foster kunye noMateyu McConaughey.

ihlabathi needemon zalo

Akukho nto iprofetayo kule mihla ngaphandle kokuphonononga oko kwathethwa zizazinzulu kwiminyaka embalwa eyadlulayo. Iidemon zikaSagan zisenokungabonakali ngendlela ye-coronavirus, kodwa iziphumo zinokufana.

Umbhali, enamava akhe obuntwaneni kunye nembali enomdla yezinto ezifunyenweyo zenzululwazi, ubonisa indlela indlela yokucinga enengqondo enokukoyisa ucalucalulo kunye neenkolelo zokutyhila inyaniso, ehlala imangalisa.

Ukwahluka kwenzululwazi

Ezahluka njengaleyo ukuba umntu ungena nzulu kuyo, kufikelelwa kwiziza ezizimeleyo, imibono enesizathu. Ngesi sizathu, inzululwazi ikwanendawo enye kunye noluntu lweengcinga.
