since your students will forgive you for the issues, but non the less very annoying, make your guests comfortable at least a comfortable chair would be a good start, just a simple phone recording would have been better, so thats lesson two, have some redundency built in, like on rockets, just in case something goes wrong, but forgiven for the mistiakes of course. So the western explorers did a bad job, how about the new explorers? SpaceX, China etc, think they will treat other planets with respect? me thinks not, seems we are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past........two human failures of character are: desire for control and lack of empathy ...............sort out those two and we have some chance for a good future.

And if there was no shovanism, God would save. I guess that was his weakness. Collasol collastropy.

Only 62. I am 62.

96

1934~1964 He died of cancer. Sad.

Carl thoufh gone is alive

We have a privileged right to exhibit human beings in a Zoo (we don't at all, but we did until 1956)

❤❤❤❤ I was with You in the studio but you cannot see me because my voice was there

He forgot to define civilization.

LOve is the most important matter this connection waves all allow one to feel to think and be

SCORPIO STRIKES AGAIN !

Sagan message for us is: be curious, be humble, be greatful and be optimistic

What a brilliant mind Carl was. Could hear a little ticking sound of his timer/clock as he delivered his lecture.

the "on our own" response is so on point

Yes science did deliver humanity from the dark place that it sat in. However in the last 100 years science has just gone around in circles and answers nothing. Only now there is much talk and the ones who listen have placed their faith in other humans who tell such wonderful tales of nothingness. How sad that humanity just repeats its mistakes over and over and loses its true faith again and again.

شخصية عظيمة

If i'd a wish, i would like to attend a lecture from Carl Sagan sir

This man is the hardest ass

the Messiahs and prophets need to be made to take his class so the world can get rid of the religious shit

😅😊

Every human being feels at the center of at least the planet. Any point on a sphere is the center point.

Fast forward 30 years and the world is filling up with Flat Earth dingbats who believe Carl Sagan was personally involved in a giant conspiracy to hide the " truth " concerning the shape of the earth and much much more . We're fucked as a species. The Rise of the New Dumb is gaining momentum under the likes of MAGA Americans and fundamentalist religious nutbags across the globe . Good luck everyone , we're going to need it.

So sad that he's not alive today to see how much we evolve in space exploration.

46:00 the same with gerrymandering, create poverty, then expect good citizens? Or to finger point?

43:35, and no other animal but the MALE human, ( the worse mutation of the *FEMALE EGG!) THE ONLY ANIMAL THAT KILLS FOR SEX! * THATS WHY males have nipples, it's in the egg!! We're all trans, in the deepest sense! Lindsay gramm and the rock don't have the same amount of testosterone! And a touch of estrogen! Some "touched" more then others!! Maybe Lindsay and Bea Arthur!!??? Maybe estrogen, instead! After all, "he" whimpers like donnys mommy! Lind,and donny, the BLOOD lovers!❤ In the streets, in his bath!??? Respectively, that is.

Carl Sagan was a salesman for himself first and for dreams. A charlatan who thinks that studying million and billion year old light, from things that certainly do not exist as he perceives them anymore, has relevance to now. It does not.He is an entertainer of dreams that have no intrinsic use to us. What counts and is important, then and now, is our Earth, its natural habitats,here and now in our present moments. Cosmology is scientific and philosophical poppycock about the distant past whether true or almost true in facts. The seriousness of our harm to natural habitats cannot be ignored even for the frivolous dreams of a popular cosmologist however esteemed you may think he was. Funding must not go to these fantasies he dreamt up but rather to here and now and our life supporting synergistic ecosystem. All this cosmological nonsense hoovers extreme amounts of funding for galaxies and stars from the past that do not exist as they are observed now. They are illusions from the past made popular by Sagan who had a vested interest in promoting these esoteric studies. Had Carl Sagan studied and promoted heightened awareness of natural habitats and the interdependent synergies to all life and security they represent it is likely his popularity would have done something important and useful. But his interests only caused people to take their eyes off the ball.The ball being Earth and its life processes. The result is the harmful fact that resources are diverted toward space dreams instead of being directed to reducing habitat harm by humans. Sagan found there was a market for daydreaming and looking at stars while avoiding necessary chores and awarenesses. Existential philosophies and extrapolations harmed the awareness of repairs needed to the damaged respect for habitats. Carl Sagan was a daydream promoter. He created harm.

Science. Maths. Physics etc...is cerebral which is a very small part of each human. If it had a heart ...it would not design weapons of mass destruction etc. So on ur bikes clever dicks.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. FACT: Sun-Sunlight causes GRAVITY, and All Matter is Positive and negative charges. The Atom is still a THEORY today, 2024. Theory defined =NOT proven, doesn't exist. Wikipedia Atomic Theory: states current theoretical model of the atom. FACT: Big to small is the secret to the Universe REVEALED. Sun-Sunlight causes gravity and has small magnets, Universe flows from Positive to negative from the sun to the planet. (Dust, Dirt, Stone is a Negative charge). While opposites attract (People, Plants and Animals) have Big magnets flowing from left to right from negative to positive possessing a positive Aura and are connected to the planet. All Terrans understand this and are taught in school. I am J.Terran, the only Terran to be born on Eden/Earth 54 years old. Thank you for sharing your video.

Ithaca p I visited just to see Cornell beautiful little city of Ithaca

Video starts at 5:08 if you get tired of the old man rambling about useless information.

If Carl Sagan was a human , then what are we in comparison ?

I love this philosopher scientist

Enlightened man. Enlightened video.

I am at the center of my universe. I'm always in the middle of everything that I've ever experienced.

Jane Goodall should have brought an Auto-matic Rifle.

It may have been Sagan, long ago... But what is Dead Stop in space? And how can We ever determine that? Thank you Carl.

46:03 I can tell the card/picture is of a group of people, but who are they and where/what does it show?

97% of scientists believe the earth was in the centre of the universe, and Galileo, who opposed this idea was a heretic

It irritates me that these kids twice refer to "Tyson's version of COSMOS". Tyson read a script from a teleprompter, that's it. The script, the content, etc., was mostly Ann Druyan. And I think Steven Soter was also involved again to a degree.

22:12 Worth noting that Carl Sagan played piano at Carnegie Hall. No joke.

Great to see, love this. Tragic audio, though. Let me know if you all do this again and need help.

So amazed by his ability to recall authors books etc.. amazing! So funny how the folks asking about God, conscience, ethnocentrism etc total missed the point. Case in point it we send a radio signal out into space right now. It would take 100000 years to traveling at the speed of light to only leave our milky way galaxy and for it to travel to another galaxy would take even longer... there are billions and billions of galaxies. IN SUMMARY... there's no chance of communication with other galaxies in any foreseeable future. We have everything we need here take care of it...its all we will ever have.

I’m excited to see the Carl Sagan movie Voyagers with Andrew Garfield. Wonder if that will come out this year

What resolution was this recorded at? At 720p is still looking like 360 or 480 lines. And any idea what caused the audio issue at 7:45?

Thanks for watching everyone! Please TURN ON SUBTITLES in order to hear it better. Before you ask "Why is the audio so hard to understand?" or "Why is the video quality low?": Our better quality camera was overexposed and everything was washed out, so we had to use this lower quality back-up recording :( As for the audio, there are two tracks here-one recorded directly from the microphone in Cornell Cinema and one from the video camera. Unfortunately, the audio had to be boosted in order for Ms. Druyan to be heard in the theater, but this maxed out the audio recording and made it extremely distorted, so I had to use the echo-y video camera audio for these parts instead. I was extremely bummed out about the audio since we worked so hard on this event. To compensate, I wrote subtitles for everything! I hope everyone can turn those on and still enjoy the video.

Thanks for sharing 👍 this wonderful talk. . Much appreciated much to think about

📍23:20 Carl was smart, but above all, he was wise.
