Cosmic Voyage (excerpt)

[surfn07]

Crazy cool

[NDUBZ08]

the journey leaves us clueless, just as we began.

[moneygod98]

HOLY FUCK I JUST GOT BLOWN AWAY BY SCIENC :)

[xXKroNiIX1]

Truly amazing!

[TheRapBeatRapper2011]

1:24 seconds gave me a hard D I C K

[MrGrevy]

I need an electron microscope to find my penis! (I named it "toodles").

[123hass]

Muslim scholar Abul Hasan actually invented the telescope

[acrostwick]

holy omigod this is incredible.

[koolclient]

I can help out Nexus.

Science (Astrophysics, Astronomy, Cosmology) is the study of the Universe which God created. Being that the Universe was created, then it can be considered a work of art. But at that, one that is so complex and infinite that it is safe to say we will never know its true beauty.

[AznLonelyBoi]

how do they find out about these things?

[ButlerDamongf]

Excellent movie, best I've seen all year... My Movie Share . com has it on their site.

[rmoo120]

this is really cool.

[bobnichols895]

I know that youtube doesn't provide live sports, television episodes and movies stream but stream episodes (dot) net does. I quite suggest you folks esp Bloodgod40 to go investigate for yourself!

[adsilcott]

This is cool, but I prefer the 1977 film called "Powers of Ten". watch?v=A2cmlhfdxuY

[airrudy]

Also cool, but nothing compares to this one set to High Hopes by Pink Floyd (it also has an awesome zoom-in after the zoom out in this video here)

watch?v=BFIDGAHZNtw

[Paleoworld101]

mytruepower2, shut the hell up, its just a video so enjoy it or piss off

[Orionglow]

This is a great video, I wish science classes were this interesting. Some so called "professors" never even give you the opportunity to really ask questions. Many science classes lack the poetry, and art that this video demonstrates that science has. Anyone agree that science classes are taught in an insipid way?

[hat045]

Well not every one can put down a couple few g's to the vid made and morgan freeman to come in a do a voice over on the script. Also the sheer amount of time that it would take is a waste from a school curricular standpoint. Yes science classes, for most people who are not interested in it to begin with, can be a bore, but there is not a lot that can be done unless you have more time devoted to these classes and more money. Other wise it is up to the students outside of class.

[Yip1991]

this is very, very generalized information, you could teach this to a monkey because there is almost no science behind this.

[TheNexus]

That's because science in general holds art in contempt for it's lack of substance and information. If only we realized that they are one in the same.

[lanz0r4tehwin]

Very poetic, Nexus. But can you provide some evidence for your baseless claim?

[TheNexus]

Ask any scientist who is passionate about science and they will say that their passion is an "art form".

Ask any artist who is passionate about their art and they will say they have it "down to a science".

Maybe it's just sayings but there is a connection there. I cannot give you the hard data you seem to be looking for, however, as I am only making a generalization.

[MrGrevy]

@Orionglow No - science is supposed to be objective, not involving feeling and emotion.

[Mickker07]

Everything with a temperature (that is > 0 K) emits light, though it is not nessesarily visible to human eyes - therefore it is not principally defined as light, but rather radiation. Even humans emits light, however, the low intensity makes it undetectable to the human eye.

[trailersic]

The Blu-Ray version is cropped to 16x9 (cutting off the top and bottom) IMAX's aspect ratio is 4:3 but as IMAX takes up the whole of your vision this is probably a good way to watch it at home.

[Frankyyourpimp]

blah, thats small. i have seen bigger things.

[howanet]

they were lost of mosliman and arabic school be for galelyo.

[zgrillo2004]

@howanet first. learn how to fucking spell. second. arabics have nothing to do with this. so piss off

[howanet]

@zgrillo2004 shut up ignorant you do not know any thing,moslims scholars are fesrt who descovred the unevers,befor u talk go get life

[zgrillo2004]

@howanet actually no. the Greek astronomer Ptolemy was first to classify the star and the heaven. so it was the greeks.the arabics were tone of many cultures that have catagorized the heavens

[ScratchinScoobz7]

this is amazing...you can really get a frekin sence of how big our universe is..and how the old powers of ten vid compares to how far we can see... notice how the galaxys after galaxys group together to form a massive group. i bet ther is a super galexy that is made up of billions of galexys! this is a great vid but i still enjoy the older one more!

[LuPoneLips]

I'm seeing this tomorrow at the IMAX! I'm so extremely stoked.

[epsicronic]

The powers of ten video is still better than this

[OneillSG7]

Nice video, except for the clip looks like it's playing at 5 FPS. What the heck did you use to encode this?

[freerunRobinson]

wooooooooooow!

[York22]

Morgan Freeman has the world's greatest narrating voice!!!

[brentzittel]

@York22 My History of Life professor is actually better believe it or not

[FugeelaWibe]

@York22 He has a great and relaxing voice.... and i somewhat agree with u...

The one i just can't turn away from when i come across him is -

Sir David Attenborough. he's also got an amazing and soothing voice.... along with the accent...

[jepumplebass]

great video, i saw the blu ray for sale on amazon and i think its definately worth the buy now. and why dont you two get a room already.

[antikrist]

very thought provoking

[GHhorse]

It never ends! The sizes are infinitely big upwards, and endlessly little downwards. Our universe can be just a little atom of a bigger universe, and our atom might contain a universe in itself. Universe in a universe in a universe... and so on. towards infinity!

amazing.

[kissmybasstrombone]

well we don't know. there is something called the light horizon. this means that we can only see 13.5 billion light years (13.5B * 600T) away because that's as far that light has traveled in the history of the universe. this of course is based upon the position of the observer, so if there is an intelligent race 13.8 BLY away, we don't know they are there.

[Locochile187]

Are you talking about the light from the sun?

What do you mean by "that's as far that light has traveled in the history of the universe"

[kissmybasstrombone]

Well I'm no scientist but here I know that everything emits light. The sun emits light, yes, but so do you... and your house and the grass, everything. Your eyes sense light, or more technically correct, the photons that we have arbitrarily named light. If you see it (or more likely that you can't see it) it emits light.

[Yonkage]

Actually, unless you've ingested a phosphoscent compound, you do NOT emit light. The sun, stars, light bulbs, and certain deep-sea creatures emit light, everything else only reflects it.

[alexus5289]

Yonkage is right. you, your house and the grass reflect light from the sun which ur brain reads as colors. Like u, I'm no scientist but I dont glow in the dark either. =) lol

[anothervirtamundo]

WRONG.

[PiccoloNamek]

Actually, most of the things you listed only reflect light. Only certain types of objects or materials actually emit light.

[untziggy4]

Argh, way to screw up the physics, Morgan. The Galaxies are not "flying away from each other." space is expanding, so that the distance between two objects increases, and increases faster as the distance increases, without either of them accelerating. In laymen's terms, the distance between two "stationary" points increases. As a consequence, the edge of the visible universe is like 40 billion lightyears away, not the expected 15

[eugenekim321]

Oh don't blame him, blame the screenwriters.

[mytruepower2]

Unfortunately, since mainstream science still can't verify exactly what space is (they're now messing around with string theory, but they're very far away from a true explanation still,) there's no solid evidence of what motivates the motions of galazies.

[untziggy4]

Way to fail. String theory doesn't explain what space is, it describes how particle properties are determined by the vibration of superstrings. I doubt we'll ever have a more fundamental definition of space than what we already have, unless space is discrete, or some version of cellular automata turns out to be true. The first is plausible but hard to verify, and the second interesting but unlikely.

[untziggy4]

As I said, the galaxies aren't "moving" away from each other, unless relativity is false AND the earth is at or near the exact center of the universe. The distance between them is increasing, that is all.

[mytruepower2]

I didn't say string theory explained space. I said it was what they were messing around with.

Of course it doesn't explain space. It's still a very rigid theory and must be built upon for a more thorough understanding of the universe.

One thing I can tell you for certain, however. When humans discover what space really is, they'll be very close to understanding the nature of the universe.

Space, by its nature, is somewhat discreet, but not immutable.

[mytruepower2]

Of course, trying to understand the nature of space without knowing its origins is like trying to understand the complexity of a chicken without ever having seen an egg. We're bound to try to guy space in the hopes of discovering its inner workings before we'll acknowledge the truth about it all.

Space is an inseparable aspect of the universe as established by relativity, along with time and gravity. Therefore, it could not exist without those other forces. Therefore...

[untziggy4]

Given our knowledge about other species, there is very little about a full grown chicken we couldn't figure out without an egg. space could definitely exist in the absence of gravity, but not the other way around. If mass did not warp space, you'd have space but not gravity. therefore...nothing.

[untziggy4]

Oh, ok. The vast majority of physicists are NOT string theorists, it just gets the most attention cause it's so out there. It's also the exact opposite of rigid; it's completely nebulous at this point. "somewhat discreet" is one of the biggest oxymorons I've ever heard. Either there is a smallest possible distance (the Planck length) or there is not. As for what space "really" is, I'm not even sure what that means. Space is what we call the medium through which matter and energy propagate.

[mytruepower2]

Again, I have to clarify myself. I don't mean that the string theory itself is rigid, but rather that it springs from rather a rigid mindset. I think scientists would understand a lot more about the universe if they were willing to be more open-minded.

"Somewhat discreet" is not specifically an oxymoron, nor are physical laws known to conform to one single rule and be unaffected by all others. "Somewhat," in this instance, means that physical matter does indeed exist in...

[mytruepower2]

...discreet space, but rather, the very nature of distance is not what we think it is, so guaging the "smallest distance" is impossible for us at this point.

Lastly, in order to explain intergalactic distances as they currently are with the theories of relativity and still reconcile with the theory of gravity somewhat, we must accept that space is not independent of gravity. If light can't escape from the event horizons of black holes, that proves that things which we normally consider...

[mytruepower2]

..."laws of space," are very much tied to gravity, therefore to mass, therefore to the very nature of the universe. These aren't separate things per se, in that it's impossible for any of them to exist apart from the others. The very concepts of perceptable time and space would fade into nothingness without mass and gravity, as would light, as would causality.

[bharataw]

How 'bout space is a VIEWPOINT OF DIMENSION. That's the best one I have ever found.

[sludgedozer]

Get Well Morgan.

[XDblablazuuuu]

HAHAHAHA fucking nerd you are, learn to spell english proper you damn faggot

ROFLMFAO !!!!!!! YOU SUCK

[BLHRuben]

conjoooo !! FTW

[CarnalDiafragma]

Conyo kenkerdag, bijna vrijheid. Kenkerfilmpjes.

[BLHRuben]

kut negerzooi waarom is conjo eigenlijk niet in onze klas met zijn rode flaphaar

cohonyo

[Mr3gg]

Conyohohohoho

[CarnalDiafragma]

Heheheh coño!

[Mr3gg]

conyoho

[CarnalDiafragma]

Conyo!

[SriLankarules21]

THIS is the one i saw in school! (im still in school if your wondering)

[innison]

Since I have gotten the full movie several years ago, I have watched many times and recommended this film to several of my friends who might find the subject interesting. However, I found the transition of the scales to the DNA during "the journey into the very small" too quick.

[orion7763]

Great video. I'm playing this next week for a science club meeting.

[Abhik262]

Does anyone know where i could download a better quality version of this?

[magnawiz]

I saw this in Astronomy class this week! Amazing!

[idontbelievereligion]

thats the wrong type of spiral galaxy

[warrenstargazer]

Are you sure? Although...

[idontbelievereligion]

the milky way is a barred spiral galaxy

[warrenstargazer]

nope, we are a spiral type SAB(s)bc not a true barred.

[PiccoloNamek]

The Milky Way's type is SBbc, which is within the classification for "barred spiral". I am not sure what you mean by "true" barred spiral.

[Rgeezah]

is that... is that morgan freeman narrating?

[acmolenaar]

Read the description.

[tails22x]

look how the superclusters make chain-like structures. Now that is interisting because those chains go beyond what we can see.

[Rhammer21]

Absolutely incredible.

[pb72nova]

Simply astonishing. How small a is nucleus compared to the universe. Insane
