Carl Sagans Cosmos - Episode 6 - Traveller's Tales

Join me on facebook / 277697568961708
Cosmos: A Personal Voyage is a thirteen-part television series written by Carl Sagan, Ann Druyan, and Steven Soter, with Sagan as presenter. It was executive-produced by Adrian Malone, produced by David Kennard, Geoffrey Haines-Stiles and Gregory Andorfer, and directed by the producers and David Oyster, Richard Wells, Tom Weidlinger, and others. It covered a wide range of scientific subjects including the origin of life and a perspective of our place in the universe.

[@ShutterSnapped]

I nearly shed some manly tears when I heard Sagan's quote about a marker being placed on Mars. "Whatever the reason you're on Mars, I'm glad you're there, and I wish I was with you."

[@gull3986]

Me too

[@Sajuuk]

I too have literally shed tears at this and many other profound things Carl Sagan has said.

[@eseskay99]

I have 2 copies of the Cosmos DVD series set and give them away as gifts to others. It is a wonderful gift. I miss Carl Sagan. He has the perfect voice and is the best educator I have ever had the pleasure of listening to.

[@crispybacon5378]

Still here Carl.... August 2022. Still nothing comes close.

[@sahandpar]

Oh, Sagan! 1 year back I downloaded Cosmos series from atheistmovies blog and I had no idea who he is. I saw his first episode of cosmos, and I couldn't stop searching for his videos and books. Everything about Sagan amazes me

[@dougrodrix1348]

Science made poetry. Cosmos help me to be a better human being.

[@vinayvelpula5361]

Is this science or poetry.... what a beautiful peice of art science is!!!

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

Carl really has made himself a good presentation.Listen closely whenever he speaks,he gives emphasis on certain words that are so relevant in his subject matter.

[@eddyfinkful]

I remember this series, & this episode, in particular! & yes, it made my cry then, & made my cry now! The music is incredible, by talents such as Tomita, who I have many of his music, & Vangellis. Thanks for sharing!

Carl Sagan saying he couldn't wait for Cassini mission is one of the saddest thing I've watched...

[@ComposerBekahSimms]

I love Carl's little spaceship that he makes this whole journey on

[@devilsadvocate756]

As inspiring now as it was when first broadcast. Carl was a gifted communicator.

[@humbabwe]

I love that all of Carl's videos have all likes and no dislikes... It's a rare thing to see.

[@ChimpyChamp]

It's sad to hear him talk about how excited he was about the Cassini Probe launch considering that it launched just a year after he died.

[@sciencemile]

I love the beginning music in this series, and I was pretty pumped when I recognized the "The Rite of Spring" in the Interstellar Collisions episode. Love your presentation of these, I can't wait until one day I can afford to purchase this collection myself :), keep it up!

[@benjaminwiens7644]

So inspiring. Voyager is in interstellar space now right? I wish Carl Sagan were still alive to see it. =(

[@garfieldmircea2006]

Actually, no. There are objects orbiting the Sun to 1/4 of the the distance to the nearest star (Proxima Centauri, 4.24 ly), they are part of the Oort cloud, and still part of the solar system. Voyager 1 is at 126 A.U., the Oort cloud extends for 50k A.U.

[@benjaminwiens7644]

Putan Mircea Actually, no. voyager.jpl.nasa.gov

[@garfieldmircea2006]

Benjamin Wiens Ah, yes. I see the misunderstanding now. They are using interstellar space to describe a medium belonging strictly to the heliosphere class, a *stellar wind* bubble. However, I think that it's a rather bad naming _Interstellar Space_, mainly because the larger objects that exist in that region are gravitationally tied to the Sun.

[@freddylubin]

Putan Mircea There are several definitions of the border of the Solar System.

[@MoonlightEmbrace]

If only Sagan could've lived to witness Voyager breaking into interstellar space... I'm sure he would have loved it and would've got something inspiring to say. They don't make people like these anymore. These were the people growing up watching Sputnik above the sky and listening to Kennedy's historic Moon speech. The Space Race was one of those few moments that brought up the best in mankind. Too bad we didn't keep the pace.

[@Zerosen89]

it makes me a little sad when at the end in the cosmos update he says, he can' wait for the casini mission and for the probe to land on titian, knowing he never got to see it, however we can,and we see for him I suppose..

[@TheScienceFoundation]

@ASKaPHYSICIST Some parts were added in light of new relevant discoveries

[@Allkindsofeverythingireland]

Great video.

[@vinodrajbhar594]

Your is great Main Sir Super

[@morgandude2]

A truly amazing 'yooman'. He couldn't wait for the results of the Cassini probe but never got to see them in mortal life. I can only hope that there is a higher level of being (a very, very big hope) and he will be watching like the star child of 2001 A Space Odyssey. How wonderful would that be?

[@Muskar2]

I see a lot of people here talking about Neil Degrasse Tyson, and the Cosmos show which will air on March 9, this year. Personally, I think Neil has the intellectual capacity and scientific skepticism needed to talk about these exciting subjects, but I think he lacks the humility that Carl Sagan had. I've only seen a few conferences and interviews with Neil, but it seems that he likes to spend a lot of time ridiculing people who believe things that can easily be disproven by science. Even though I think it's fine that he's a truth seeker, I still prefer Carl Sagan's way of inspiring the ignorant, rather than ridiculing them, because it is much more constructive and nice to listen to. It is also one of the things that I respect most about Carl Sagan, so I'm sad to see that left out. I hope Neil's version will surprise me and prove me wrong though.

[@garfieldmircea2006]

One thing to say, Ann Druyan would sooner burn down the production house of the new Cosmos than release something that will tarnish the original Cosmos. Rest assured, IT WILL BE AWESOME!!!

[@Muskar2]

Hi Putan Mircea and thanks for your comment. I just looked Ann up and she seems like a great character. She also seems like a great people's person but I'm not sure if I'm confident that she will spot Neil's ridiculing or be able to inspire him to change it. Because his favorite kind of humor seems to be to ridicule ideas. Particularly mocking the idea that Pluto should still be a planet. At least that's what I've seen. I don't doubt that they're probably going to produce a nice factual show with some great perspectives but I just don't like the approach of tearing down "thought personalities", no matter how illogical, ignorant or evidence-refusing they may be. It brings a slight sense of intolerance and superiority. And however slight it may be, I think it teaches the opposite lesson of the science of astronomy: That we are smaller than our minds can really grasp. I think it's an ultimate lesson of humility. I'm probably putting too much thought into it - and I know I don't have an influence either way - but I just hope it won't inspire kids to be intolerant to illiterates or other ignorant people.

[@774Rob]

I think Neil has done a good job on the new Cosmos. He isn't Sagan and those are difficult boots to fill but I like what he has done.

[@Muskar2]

Rob Bowes Yeah I think it's alright. In the second episode he implicitly targets creationists, using the argument "scientific fact" as if that means something to people who don't understand _HOW_ we know these things. But I guess I understand the frustration, since I've heard a lot of people seriously believe in creationism in the US and he's been in a lot of debates about it, as far as I understand. I would have preferred showing more examples of how we came to know the evolutionary theory - so he focused on inspiring people rather than trying to force ideas upon them, which it may seem from a non-scientific background. And it would also have been nice if he debunked the Social Darwinist term "survival of the fittest" because I think that belief is far more dangerous to the world than believing in superstition. But the other episodes have been great for me. I've only seen 4 so far though.

[@Muskar2]

I just watched the fifth episode. That was my favorite yet. Although it had some technical parts that didn't give enough room to ponder over the information - like the explanation of the different atoms giving off different spectra of light. But it was really good. I wish evolution was covered in a similar fashion but he did leave a few cliffhangers there so he might touch up on all of that in later episodes. It definitely has me excited.

[@sodaxcandy08]

the ending is beautiful :')

[@99sd3763]

If millions can love God without ever meeting, speaking to, hearing or even knowing if he exists, then I see no reason why Carl Sagan can't be loved for his contributions to science.

[@thetattedpharmacist3215]

Its eccentric orbit around the sun is not among the reasons the International Astronomical Union gave for downgrading Pluto's status to "dwarf planet" in 2006. Not only is Pluto's orbit elliptical, which puts it at odds with the circular orbits of the great eight, but its orbital plane is also very different. The effect of Pluto's orbit takes it inside of Neptune's at its perihelion, which is roughly 2.7 billion miles. It takes 20 years for the two orbits to cross again.

[@Parknest]

To think that the Voyager probes are still operating to this very day. Carl himself was involved in selecting the contents of the Voyager Golden Record. It is a shame that he didn't live long enough to see the Cassini probe launch.

[@vinodrajbhar594]

Thanks Sir Im Mis you sir

[@nickhassan]

How ironic, in one of the other episodes (I forget which one) Carl talked about the folly of pseudoscience, and the ad in the corner is for "Live Psychic Readings" Made me laugh when I saw it xD

[@MaireneFerraz]

[@xhagast]

"The Dutch knew that the unrestrained persuit of profit posed a serious threat to the soul of the nation." Pearls of wisdom Sagan caught immediately and was quick to share. It is true. The persuit of profit must be encouraged. But wealth must be used for more than yatchs, art and mansions. When everybody in a country shares in its wealth then it multiplies. True economical magic and not like the imaginary "trickle down" effect.

[@BrownNoteBlues91]

@01sircharles The message is the Gold record onboard. And the inscription on the back basically says "come to the 3rd planet in the system of Sol and you will find Humanity." Y'know the picture of the naked man an woman waving? There's a star chart next to them as well.

I weep to think that this wonderful series marks the high-water mark of civilisation to date. Now, in 2024 we are decending into a new, horrific dark age of bigotry, hatred and anti-science. How much progress will be lost before we, as a species, rediscover the joy of exploration, the wonder of learning, the beauty in both the extremely small and the implausibly large and the futility of the aforementioned bigotry, prejudice and hate?

Not a problem :) glad we could resolve the issue here :) haha, according to the article I sourced this info from, Neptune was the furthermost "planet" between 1979 and 1999, and this won't occur again for well over 150 years, due to Pluto taking 248 Earth years to make is orbit around the Sun

@snaileri According to vangelismovements(dot)com/cosmosseries.htm Vangelis made music specially for the Cosmos special edition of 1986, most of which hasn't been released on albums. As this track is from the remake of the full series in year 2000, I guess that this can belong to that category ("Some of the new music also appears in the 2000 remastered VHS and DVD release"). (A short passage in Heaven and Hell at 05:53-06:05 reminds somewhat of your track.)

[@OhReallyNoWai]

I am proud of my little country. It has fought off much bigger countries, such as France and Spain, and created a safe haven for intellectuals. While the rest of Europe was controled by some religious freaks, my country played a big role in the Enlightenment. Religion had its fun, kept us back for centuries and victimized lots of people. The Netherlands helped breaking the chains from this oppression. It's also a great honor to have received Carl Sagan here in my very own hometown (Amsterdam).

[@AtheistDemon87]

was the information about these events before or after Sagan died? ...and Columbus might not have been the first ,but its his ''discovery'' that led to its mass colonization. His impact was far greater than any you've mentioned

They should have put a miniature record player on board too-I can't imagine any intelligent life form working out what the disc was for-you just have to look at us humans trying to get to grips with modern technological devices here on Earth to understand that.There can be no way of determining what kinds of intelligences may possibly be out in space nor what the likelihood of this disc being found by aliens with arms and hands and ears to listen so this was a silly idea really but a beautiful one which, suspect was the point really.

I feel like that stereotype in movies of high school students watching a super boring documentary and falling asleep in class probably started from these documentaries and ones similar. And while I in no way think he has the most invigorating voice in the world, I think If more students actually listened to what was being said, rather then the tone of voice, they'd find that these documentaries are full of discovery, amazing knowledge, emotion, passion and are in truth, very fascinating.

[@primitivepatriot]

What the hell is that supposed to mean? He was agnostic, not a strict atheist. And even if he was, what does that have to do with anything?

[@primitivepatriot]

Are you actually a physicist, dude? Because I'm not sure what you mean when you say "we are all traveling through space-time at the light-speed." Light moves at light speed... that's why it's called light speed! Besides space, which can expand faster than light, and maybe neutrinos, I'm not aware of anything else being able to go that fast. But by all means, correct me if I'm wrong!
