Friends
& Mentors
Eugen
Semitjov (1923-1987)
Semitjov
brought the future to Sweden. A reporter & illustrator with
Russian roots, he got a unique insight in the early Space Age. He
also wrote about amazing topics like telepathy & time travels,
becoming
Hans'
close friend.
Carl Sagan
(1934-1996)
Dr.
Sagan was a prominent NASA scientist, award-winning author and public
educator. His TV-series Cosmos made a huge impact on Hans, as he
almost poetically related our quest for the stars with all aspects
of Human culture. Sagan met with Hans several times, always noting
his starry family name.
Peter Nilson (1937-1998)
Peter Nilson was the astronomer who became an admired writer. His
unique style combined science with myth, local tales with cosmological
reflections. Peter later got to know Hans and also contributed to
his millennium project.
Ralph Lundsten
Lundsten is Sweden's most famous composer, an internationally recognized
pioneer in the field of electronic music. But Hans and Ralph also
share the same appreciation for the magic and beauty in our infinite
cosmic nature, deploring the old groupthinking associated with religion,
sports & politics.
