Gia answers “Is it still relevant/correct/upto date in...”

jvb asked this question about Cosmos:

Is it still relevant/correct/upto date in 2015? I believe much more would have been found, many theories would have been disproved etc since the time this book was written. So wondering if it is still worth reading. Don't want to end up knowing the wrong/outdated facts. :-)

Gia Jgarkava Absolutely worth reading! Because:

1. Unlike other scientists, Carl Sagan is also a good writer, so it is great experience to read even known issues
2. …moreAbsolutely worth reading! Because:

1. Unlike other scientists, Carl Sagan is also a good writer, so it is great experience to read even known issues
2. The books significant parts are about the history
3. As a true scientist, Carl Sagan never states facts while discussing theories, but gives scientific evidence, supporting or objecting them.
4. See #1 again :) this is still the best argument for reading(less)
