Carl Sagan - Cosmos - Cosmic Calendar

[@stephz4752]

Oh Carl Sagan.. I miss you! The world still needs you!

[@andrewtodaro2874]

Totally, this is such a humbling metaphor for how small we are in relation to the rest of the universe.

[@SR-uf8pt]

Yep. He was in awe of what humans (or yoo-mans, as he pronounced it) had achieved, but at the same time, he was realistic about our place in the cosmos. Rest in peace, Carl. You were an amazing person.

[@ktkool8468]

Yes Seph, I miss him too. I to this very year, watch his Cosmos once a year so that I may enjoy the notes of universe spectrum.

[@2fast2block]

The world does not need this dumbass liar. Carl Sagan "The Cosmos is all that is or was or ever will be." Carl Sagan, "I can’t imagine anyone denying the existence of the laws of nature, but I don’t know of any compelling evidence for the old man in the sky." More from the dumbass, "It’s perfectly possible that the universe is infinitely old and therefore uncaused. In fact, there are detailed cosmological models that hold such a view and that are consistent with everything we know. To my mind, it seems not fully satisfactory to say that there was a first cause. That seems to postpone dealing with the problem rather than solving it. If we say “God” made the universe, then surely the next question is, “Who made God?” If we say “God” was always here, why not say the universe was always here? If we say that the question “Where did God come from?” is too tough for us poor mortals to understand, then why not say that the question of, “Where did the universe come from?” is too tough for us mortals? In what way, exactly, does the God hypothesis advance our knowledge of cosmology? What predictions does it make on which the hypothesis will stand or fall?" from: www.uscatholic.org/articles/202001/god-and-carl-sagan-cosmos-big-enough-both-them-31939 Read the article. Have a vomit bag or trash can nearby for what a hypocritical, lying, mocking, disgusting, foolish person he was. Now, Carl the dumbass NEVER can get around these laws and what the lead to... Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it. ....yet the buffoon thinks creation happened naturally, but the idiot says, "What predictions does it make on which the hypothesis will stand or fall?" as the crap-for-brains ignores the CLEAR science that creation had to happen by God supernaturally! Still the fool who ignores the laws farted out, "I don’t know of any compelling evidence for the old man in the sky." Notice his mocking God, "man in the sky" as if that makes him look smart as he completely ignores the evidence. His question, "Who made God?" is as dumb as he is. So in his way of foolish thinking, if a supernatural creator created the natural realm, then that supernatural creator who created the natural realm with its natural laws has then become also bound by those natural laws the supernatural creator created. So explain why a supernatural creator is also bound by the laws the supernatural creator created. Or, show how smart you are and just give your science for creation happening naturally and don't forget to give your science how the natural laws were created, too. If he wanted to act smart, it may be a good idea to actually show you are. Sagan the dumbass will at some point face his Maker for his judgment of what he believed in this life. His extreme shame and regret was all his choice. He wanted to be a hypocritical dumbass. Then he'll be thrown into the lake of fire. It will be his 'The End' and be remembered no more. ALL his choice and for others who follow that fool.

I will never forget watching this on PBS back in 1980 and falling in love with science.... Mr. Sagan had a natural talent for making his topics come alive and made one watch with interest and wonder at the nature of the universe his show lit the flame in my soul to want to know and learn all about the world we live in and beyond. What I would give to have Carl Sagan back and enjoy how he made things that others found boring exciting and want to learn about its been over 40 years and that flame that he lit still burns within me to this very day.

Sagan was brilliant. I have read his books. His warnings were NOT a presage to global climate change. He was directly worried that Nuclear War would be the likely cause of devastation to our planet. His message was of understanding and care among ALL people, which can easily, and in some cases, be rightly supportative of: care for our planet. But he was not an original Global Warning advocate, or prophet of doom. In fact, he was always cautiously optimistic that Mankind would find ways to overcome our challenges through ingenuity, understanding, honest communication, and science.

@funfdogg Yes, He died of cancer in 1997.

The ad before this is about a mormon scientist. I would take Sagan over him any day.

[@DoggoStudio]

I miss Cosmos. It isn't streaming on Netflix anymore >.

Wow! Impressive

Who in 2024

[@StevenSeagull123]

Anyone know the title of the music that plays in the background?

[@APMucundh]

The soul-stirring, haunting music for the TV series COSMOS was scored by Greek music director, VANGELIS. I consider Vangelis along with Hans Zimmer and John Williams as being the 3 most talented music directors in recent western cinematic history. Vangelis was also the music director for the stunning, original, 1982 Blade Runner movie, directed by Ridley Scott. Chariots of Fire is another film where Vangelis was the music director. Hans Zimmer is another towering musical genius. Inception, Sherlock, Interstellar, The Da Vinci Code... are some of the iconic films where Hans Zimmer was the music maestro. The love sequence music of Blade Runner (the 1982 film) and the ending sequence music of the films Inception and The Da Vinci Code will etch their musical grooves into your heart and soul. I keep listening to them again and again and again (on KZbin). Look up these films and listen to the musical tracks that I've mentioned here.

The music that plays during the actual cosmic calendar sequence is "Metamorphosis" by W. Jeffrey Boydstun, while the music at the end is "Heaven and Hell, Part 1 (Movement 3)" by Vangelis.

For everyone wondering what's his or her purpose on earth,stop thinking individually, think as a specie!, this here is our root, This is our purpose! Let's make our star the worthy one! Do your part, use your brain in the limited time you've got here!

This video should play on a constant loop at the next Republican debate.

This is a great illustrator of the Fermi Paradox. Where is the evidence if there are advanced civilizations out there in the universe? Our entire civilization occupies the last ten seconds of this cosmic year. Our technologically advanced stage is in the last second.Allow three to five "Seconds" for any technologically advanced civilization, and it could have grown, lived for even ten times that span, then faded to nothingness two or three or four cosmic "Months" ago. There could be dozens, once a "Minute" for the last five "Months" and the evidence would have been erased by time. The scale of time, and the vastness of the universe makes it highly unlikely that we would find evidence of even the most vast star empire. I blame Star Trek, and like sci-fi TV for making the universe, and the scale of time seem a LOT more condensed than it really is.

[@SHUR1312]

@LlamaInk So basically your saying that energy can be created? If that is so, then what is the point of the first law? Just to confuse people?

[@Kemendil]

They should also scale down the universe to the size of Earth. Then our entire civilization would probably be confined to a single speck of dust. So I can't really share Sagan's enthusiasm at the end - what happens in the first second of the next cosmic year doesn't depend on what we do at all, except for that little speck of dust.

[@brian321]

Perspective is what you make of it. It sounds like what you took from it was "what does it matter what I do?" For some people, that's what religion is for. They need that to lean on, they have to think they're related to the creator of the universe and loved by him and that life is a gift from him; merely existing but for the blink of an eye on a speck of dust isn't good enough. For other people though, truth, reality, and understanding are more important than a comforting fairy tale; perspective like this is an important part of understanding the reality we live in.

[@jg11596]

where can I view the entire 13 episode series?

[@DerangedWacko]

Alright, so how did Carl Sagan conclusively stop nuclear threats? I'm not doubting you, I've just never heard of this before, as I am new to learning about Carl Sagan.

[@FrapsYou]

People have no respect what so ever for this guy without him we all would have died or not even existed he helped alot in understanding what we are in simplest form he protested against hierarchies and conclusively stopped nuclear threats and now you people are thrashing and making jokes about him how dare you I am deeply ashamed of you and the lack of knowledge that you bare I dont think we deserved all this at all.

[@cbsk341]

Carl Sagan is great, and I love this video, but I can't be the only one that hears the Chozo Ruins theme from Metroid Prime near the beginning.

[@crispycritterz]

What happens in the first second of the next cosmic year will happen not because of us, but in spite of us. The universe and all creation has it's own agenda. How it affects us may be more up to us.
