The Big Bang Theory

This post is actually regarding the actual Big Bang Theory and not some joke or TV show, and comes from my studying for my Astronomy final:

Describing both the follies and the achievements of the human race, Carl Sagan once said,

"These are the things that hydrogen atoms do--given 15 billion years of cosmic evolution."

(PS-BTdubs, the actual age of the universe is now refined to 14 billion years. Sagan died before scientists claimed us all a bit younger)

The Cosmic Perspective, 4th Ed., pg. 690.
