Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" is certainly something to strive for, but when you set the bar that high, you can't be too critical when every subsequent science show fails to live up to it.

Yes. Most colleges will offer at least an introductory astronomy course. There may be astronomy courses intended for science majors, as well as a course for those with a casual interest in the subject. Either way, you shouldn't have a problem finding an astronomy course.

Your argument is so incomprehensibly wrong that I don't even know where to begin in my explanation of its wrongness.

You want a book on astronomy, not astrology. Astronomy is the science of planets, stars, black holes, nebula, galaxies, etc. Astrology is not a science at all. It is a ridiculous superstition which states the the position of the stars and planets affects your destiny. It is total garbage.

That sounds crazy. Let's see what happens! Assume numbers in this new algebra have the form: a + b*j where a and b are real numbers. In the algebra of complex numbers, the absolute value function computes the magnitude of the complex number, as if it were a vector: |a + b*i| = sqrt(a^2 + b^2)...

I think both terraforming planets and evolving new humans will be possibilities in the future, but we'd have to find a world very similar to Earth to adapt quickly. Of course, terraforming would also take a long time. Additionally, there is a fundamental thermodynamic constraint. You can't...

Unfortunately, the environmental law I researched hasn't been written yet. If I told you about it, it would cause a time paradox.
