The all-important question would be to know what is life and as per Carl Sagan, the astrophysicist, it is physics as it contains all the elements created by Big-Bang and from supernova explosion of stars and all these are in the domain of physics.

As the late Carl Sagan often stated, Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Was this particular Artist of the Century —or any other one— worth all this labored thought and scholarly travail In this case, equally extraordinary are the claims that 1) Marcel Duchamp did systematically employ hermetic references and alchemical iconography in creating his artworks and/or that 2) Marcel Duchamp was never influenced by Alchemy. Both positions are, therefore, obligated to produce their extraordinary evidence. And here you have just been presented with concrete proof, heaps of it, repeatedly substantiating the first of these two extraordinary art-historical arguments.

Appendix B lists numerous uses of the fourth dimension, hyperspace, and wormholes in science fiction. For example, Carl Sagan in his novel Contact also uses the Kip Thorne wormholes to traverse the universe. The television shows Star Trek The Next Generation, Star Trek Voyager, and Star Trek Deep Space Nine have all used wormholes to travel between faraway regions of space. In Star Trek Deep Space Nine, a station stands guard over one end of a stable wormhole.

There are perhaps a hundred-trillion of these neural connections in the human brain. Each represents one bit of information. Astro-biologist Carl Sagan once estimated that the number of these bits, if written out in English, would fill the pages of 20 million volumes in the world s most massive libraries. Most of them would be shelved in the cerebral cortex section. The brain is a very big place in a very small space, he said.
