I would also like you to find me the producer, director, year of
production,... of the science program QUANTUM which was hosted by Carl
Sagan. I want to quote Sagan saying that if we ever communicate with
other beings it will be in the language of mathematics. Sagan said
this on one of the QUANTUM programs. I think they were made in the
1980s. Instructional TV Details::

Quantum sounds like a fascinating series. I hope we will be able to
see it some day in the United States.
Carl Sagan died in December 1996 after a long illness, so we can
probably rule out 1996 programming. The earliest online details about
Quantum that I could find are from August 1995. The show has been in
production since 1986, but I haven't found descriptions of the '80s
programs. You may want to look through this 1995 list and see if
anything rings a bell. "The Search for New Planets" sounds like a
possibility, but I haven't seen a mention of Sagan's name in
connection with this.

Hi,
Are you sure the tv programme wasn't called COSMOS, if you visit Carl
Sagan's website ( http://www.carlsagan.com )there is information about
his 'landmark television series 'Cosmos' on PBS'.

I have not yet been able to locate an episode guide to Carl Sagan's
"Cosmos." There is a companion book to the series which is still in
print, and the entire "Cosmos" series is now available on DVD. If you
have access to a library which offers either the book or the DVD set,
I would expect that tracking down the exact quote you need would not
be too difficult. Sagan mentioned the chance of life on other worlds
(and the possibility of communicating with alien beings through
mathematics) in more than one episode of "Cosmos," as I recall.
You may also want to examine Sagan's fictional account of mankind's
first contact with extraterrestrial life, "Contact," which was made
into a rather good film.
These links about Sagan and "Cosmos" may be of some use to you:

I now think that the television program was probably Cosmos although
our tape on which we recorded the program was labelled QUANTUM.
Perhaps the Cosmos segments were used by the Quantum people. I would
like to know the producer, director, and the date, with reference to
the program that Sagan did on other worlds, where he was reflecting on
the possibility of communicating with people from other worlds.
Thanks.
