If you want refreshments, i need more RSVP's by 4-5pm. Oh and by the way, if you didn't see Neil deGrasse Tyson's reboot of (Carl Sagan's) *Cosmos* Sunday night on Fox25, or Monday on National Geographic, you may want to view the clipping at http://video.nationalgeographic.com/tv/cosmos-a-spacetime-odyssey/the-cosmic-calendar It's quite interesting on its own, but also my newest script will make critical reference to one of Sagan's core conceits revived here, The Cosmic Calendar:
*5. In the cosmic calendar, Jesus was born just 5 seconds ago* Those who watched Sagan's original series will remember the cosmic > calendar, which is a way to conceptualize the age of the universe (13.8 > billion years). Tyson revived the tool, explaining that Jan. 1 would mark > the Big Bang and the present falls on midnight on Dec. 31. At this scale, > every day represents nearly 40 million years and humans only evolved in the > last hour of New Year's Eve. (Above from list on page with behind the scenes interview with NdT and his and Sagan's co-writer at SDCC http://www.space.com/24999-cosmos-reboot-recap-6-things-we-learned.html . That video is nice too but not relevant to my script.)
