Happy Valentine’s Day. Love, 60 Symbols

A final cosmic Valentine’s Day wish from the wonderful Sixty Symbols site: a video valentine.


Check out the other videos at the Sixty Symbols site, too. The woman introducing the video is my friend astronomer Amanda Bauer, aka Astropixie, and you should read her blog as well. She’s pretty cool.

    I thought that the universe was supposed to be cold and uncaring. Well, anyways, Happy Valentine’s Day.

He's written two books, dozens of magazine articles, and 12 bazillion blog articles. He is a skeptic and fights the abuse of science, but his true love is praising the wonders of real science.

      "If things worked the way I wanted them to, any reporter about to do another 'sensational' story on deadly meteors would consult this volume, and bang! common sense would find its way into the news. How strange would that world be?"

      "Reading this book is like getting punched in the face by Carl Sagan. Frightening, but oddly exhilarating."
