Carl Sagan 

One of the greatest popularizers of science to have walked the Earth.

Carl Sagan achieved worldwide fame for his thirteen-episode series 'Cosmos: A Personal Voyage'.
His research was what brought about the theory of a nuclear winter as the result of nuclear warfare.

Carl Sagan criticized society and advocated skeptical thought. He had strong, yet calm, power in his voice, and with it, the power to pull out a feeling in one's body, a feeling of longing. A yearning to learn, and a desire to venture outside our small planet.

Carl Sagan died in 1996 of pneumonia, but he lives on in any one who has ever listened to him and taken heed of his words.

Saganomics 

(noun) A pun on Reaganomics, this term refers to any would-be economic policy of preeminent scientist-philosopher Carl Sagan. Although not a politician himself, Dr. Sagan's political leanings were informed by scientific knowledge and were extremely liberal, progressive, and compassionate.

Examples of Saganomic policies include, but are not limited to:

1) Nuclear disarmament
2) Legalization of cannabis
3) Environmental conservation
4) Understanding the cosmos
Person 1: I am baffled that we pour so much money into the machinery of war while NASA's budget is always being cut. I believe our survival as a species depends on how well we understand the cosmos.

Person 2: Stay away from me with your Saganomics!

Saganist 

One who participates in the school of thought known as Saganism.

One who maintains an awestruck perspective of the vast cosmos we inhabit so minutely and the wonder of billions of years of evolution that brought us to this moment.
One who finds a source of complete spiritual satisfaction in the natural laws of the universe and the achievements of mankind's scientific practice thus far.

Emphasis is placed upon the duty of care for our planet, the need for ambitious space exploration programs, the folly of religion, nationalism and war, but also the need for compassion in the face of small-mindedness and zealotry.
The world would be an incredible place if all human beings were Saganists.

Sian is a name, a welsh name, given to the beauties in life - often called attractive, or fit and very often sexy.
Girls with the name Sian are often pretty, and attractive. men always admire sian, and girls envy sian. Sian often uses phrases such as;- 'loved by some, hated by many, envied by most yet wanted by many'
even though with all the male attention she receives she likes to keep her love close to her, sian's always have trust issues, and they don't like to let people get to close, they always have one person they rely on to vent to (such as a best friend some one loyal and very different to her, which is why they are so close, they might aswell have keys to eachothers houses!!! Sian is always has a large group of friends but only has one that she selects to talk to.) she's not the type of girl who will kiss a thousand frogs to get to her prince. she will wait until she knows who her prince charming is.
Sian is always the girl people rely on to help problems 'the friend therapist' as such, when her friends have a problem they always think to ask sian what to do.
But there are many downsides of being a 'Sian', they always get treaten like.. shit if you like. if people have jobs that need to be done, sian is always the first person that they call, they walk over her. There are only a small selection that don't!
girls see sian - they want to be sian
boys see sian - they want sian
Sian by crazycam33 January 3, 2014
Siana is the most beautiful girl you could ever lay eyes upon, she is a long haired brunette with eyes that you could happily gaze into for your months. She has the sweetest heart ever and cares and want the best from you always. She has an amazing personality and loves doing crazy things with you or others whether it being a festival or a night out with her gals! She gives you some of the best hugs ever, the close, tight, pulled in hugs that everyone craves. She's the sort of girl you can be your crazy self around but then offers some of the deepest conversations ever and really opens up to you. Overall Siana is a perfect girl!
I love Siana, she is an absolutely perfect girl
