Actually, he is brilliant and extremely educated. You may not like his point and what he is saying, and that is fine, but in no way is Carl Sagan dumb or unintelligent.

[@Livinginthepresentmoment07]

He was Head of his time, I disagree with him when it comes his stance on religious truth but still I will not deny that he is very intelligent with good communication ability. 😊

[@ronaldproctor9454]

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.

[@kenbattor6350]

I missed episode 1 when it originally aired because I was on a trip to Boston. It took some time for me to finally see it.

[@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.

"Poetic Scientist" How very apt 😊

[@Voodoomaria]

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.

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.

[@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.

[@dgodiex]

Top comments in this particular video (and the fact that youtube ranks comments) are cringeful.

[@Trilobite8jesus]

@hassmann2000 No one knows who anyone important is because of college humor. Read a book.

[@jimgomez5396]

We are nothing but a speck of dust, in the overall picture

[@aRMEd8uLL]

The 4 dislikes come from religious people hating Carl Sagan for questioning their theory of the universe...

[@timetomakeauturn]

@FrapsYou "Conclusively stopped nuclear threats"??? What Sagan planet do you live on?

[@jayjohn9680]

Wonder what a Carl Segan/Neil De Grass collab would be like. And better yet… with Attenburough.

[@fromnorway643]

Carl Sagan and David Attenborough probably never met, but Neil deGrasse Tyson has met them both.

[@AspiringPotato]

@SHUR1312 An agnostic atheist rational skeptic to my core, gotta say. And I no longer heed the facetious pity that theists splash upon my kind.

[@youngjyay]

Would if Carl Sagan was black, will you feel the same way as you would about him???

[@colinofsplott]

good series but when you multiply infinity X eternity the big bang theory is BOLLOX

[@Gigano]

It's more likeley that your interpretation of the theory is bollocks.

[@sdfjsd]

Haha nobody is going to watch this in 2023. The special effects are very funny

[@SergyMilitaryRankings]

The effects aren't important but the message

[@phmwu7368]

Life time of Earth compressed in 1 year, means all weather studies represent 1/100000 of a second !

[@fromnorway643]

I find it somewhat unlikely that weather studies started just *_12 hours ago._*

[@ief014]

ya, neil degrasse tyson is pretty cool.

[@nachoseg]

@amcanmike or how big and extraordinary, how special we really are, and how we must prevail alive

[@BrighterThunder]

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

[@RiskyFishness]

some of this information is a little outdated, and now is known untrue.

[@OconByrd519]

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

[@jordanreyes7286]

Is this anyone elses astronomy class? What is college.

[@AspiringPotato]

@SHUR1312 It's not as simple as that. But that is as simple as you.

[@madkenstarling]

And we're down here kicking the shite out of each other..it's all looking a bit Freddie starr isn't it

[@SergyMilitaryRankings]

You can thank tribalism and it's offsprings nationalism and racism for that

[@BitcoinRonin]

cant get enough of his wisdom

[@amcanmike]

WOW CARL SHOWS US HOW SMALL WE REALLY ARE IN THE UNIVERSE

[@littlejune131]

Thank you for sharing this. It is indeed amazing. :)

[@danebowen6540]

This is as far from spam as it gets. Try to learn something.
