I actually bought two books by Carl Sagan some time ago, Cosmos and The Cosmic Connection, but I still have not managed to finish them completely. What I like about Sagan is that even when he explains something very complex, he changes the way you look at the world. His ideas really make you question how limited our own perception might be.

I'd actually never heard of Sagan before seeing this clip, but I really liked how he explained it. Such a simple analogy for something that's incredibly difficult to wrap your head around.

Definitely made me question how much of reality we're simply incapable of perceiving.

That is exactly what I like about Sagan. He can take something incredibly difficult and make you think about it in a completely different way. That feeling that we may only perceive a small part of reality is one of the reasons I bought Cosmos and The Cosmic Connection. I have only read part of them so far, but I really enjoyed what I read. I would definitely recommend his books.
