Who actually coined that well known absence/evidence phrase?
The first I know of that said it in print was Carl Sagan but he should have known better.
edit: Sagan was quoting and criticizing Martin Rees so it is Rees that should have known better
I'm actually pleased to hear that. Sagan couldn't have been so dumb. Who the hell is Rees and what credibility does he have?
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
