Universal Cervantes: Don Quixote of the Cosmos

Don Quixote, the most translated non-religious work in history that is also widely considered to be the first modern novel, and Cosmos, the book that popularized science around the world in the late-20^th century, make for an odd couple at first glance. However, if we analyze Miguel de Cervantes’s masterpiece through a scientific lens, and if we read Carl Sagan’s with a focus on the humanities, it becomes clear that both authors seek universal truths and utilize quests to discover them.
