"One could spend all his energy confronting skeptics. That same energy is much better spent investigating the subject. Why waste time on people who have never bothered to learn the basic facts? It's their problem!" ~ J. Allen Hynek

From the Daily Grail: Carl Sagan: "Depth Perception"

Daily Grail editor and writer Greg Taylor has a good post, with video clip of Sagan, on Sagan's explanation of other dimensions and a demonstration of "flatland." Depth Perception.
Taylor comments, in referring to Edwin Abbott's 1884 book Flatland:
Flatland, in my opinion, offers a very good reason why investigation of anomalies is a valid exercise. Certainly, it demands the use of rigorous and honest scientific research; but also it requires an open mind and the willingness to speculate wildly at times.

Also included: quotes from Michio Kaku.
