If people take one thing away from this book, what do you hope it will be?
Neil deGrasse Tyson
That the world looks different, very different, when you see it through the lens of science literacy, and especially when graced with a cosmic perspective. So much of our behavior, so much of what divides us, so much of our seeds of conflict, arises from irrationally held postures that we think are entirely sensible.
Starry Messenger: Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization is an antidote to a post-truth world.

Neil deGrasse Tyson:
Can you explain, if the universe is expanding from the point where the Big Bang occurred, how can the light from the objects (now) X billion light years away just now be reaching us? How did our slow selves physically get "out here" AHEAD of that light, while we wait patiently for it to arrive? In other words, how is the expansion of space faster than light?
