  • Intergalactic Social Blunder

    also called the "Human Race" by most.

  • so, have we figured out the 'shape' of the universe or not?.. if every 'point' is the 'center' and is moving away from 'everything', then why would galaxys collide?..

  • @GeorgeNada1 because galaxies close to each other are still dominated by gravity rather than the expansive force of dark energy. so they will collide, while the galaxies further away will accellerate away

  • also there is snarf !!!

  • I can't fap to this.

  • @77gslinger... What makes you such an expert? When were you ever recognized for any of your contributions to sciences or society?

  • "warped space time" & "the shape of space time" LMFAO! more like warped quackademic theories or warp 12 of star treck scifi fantasy stuff. Too bad Sagan did not speak about reality and pushed debunked quack theories instead. Imagine how much further along humanity would be by now had Sagan told the truth about Cosmology instead of spreading the agenda of TPTB!

  • @77GSlinger Please tell me your not serious?!!

  • @Gpsjoe2607 Extremely! And, I can back it up with facts!

  • @77GSlinger Look up the GP-B experiment that NASA performed, which supports Einstein's theory of relativity. And you know what the theory of relativity implies? That space-time can be distorted ("warped") by gravity. So nothing Sagan has said is outside the bounds of conventional scientific discourse, and based on your argument from ignorance I think it's safe to say you haven't a clue what you're talking about.

  • I wrote you personal email since I can not defend against you lame attacks in this small box

  • @Muaguana Nasa is your authority? Never a Straight Answer???? ROFLMFAO! Yeah sure dude and Pigs have wings and can fly!!!!!!!!!

  • 4:24 Carl Sagan sliding into a giant spacetime-anus. What a champ.

  • neil degrasse-tyson and seth macfarlane are actually making another "cosmos" series. personally, i can't wait for the result!

  • why is jersey shore on t.v. and not this?

  • @MrBR420 Money, instead of knowledge.

  • @MrBR420 the same reason the above comment is dominating yours in thumbs ups lol

  • @MrBR420 Ratings = Money, more people cut the cord every day.

  • This is outdated physics, I have no qualification beyond GCSE in physics but I read a lot of physics books and the general consensus now is that the universe is most likely flat. Apparently it is in fact a giant hologram. I don't understand that, I'm not sure the PHD's do either lol.

  • Our universe was thougth or even now it could be a hologram that shows a extra dimension, the fourth dimension-time

  • What is inside the sphere and outside the sphere?

    (God)

  • @S2Cents No

  • @thesparitan Yes

  • @thesparitan Neither is nor is not.

    Beyond the categories of being, brother.

  • @S2Cents No

  • @thesparitan via negativa 

  • @S2Cents No

  • @thesparitan apophēmi

  • The WMAP has shown that the universe is flat with a margin of error of 0.5%

    Why is everyone still taught that the universe is a sphere?

  • @u3190 When the WMAP survey says the universe is "flat" they mean Euclidean on the larger scale. The "Observable universe" is the multi-billion-light-year-radiu­s sphere that surrounds us, but the space within that sphere is topologically Euclidean, except in the presence of massive objects.

  • @FluffyBunniesOnFire Well, from what I've read, the Universe have been shown to be flat to a 0,5% margin of error. But maybe the event horizon has been pushed off too far away so the Universe looks falt at our observable Universe which is just a very small portion of a much larger closed Universe.

  • Hey Potheads:

    Carl Sagan was an advocate for the legalization of Cannabis, yes. That doesn't mean that he was high at work, because unlike most of you retards, he was a responsible adult. Just because someone smokes doesn't mean that they do it 24/7, and I'm sick of you retards constantly associated Sagan just with Weed, only because you like having your mind blown.

    And I say this as someone who smokes.

  • @Ballzofier

    Hey fascist:

    the Constitution doesn't delegate power to regulate drugs, and therefore that power is reserved to the states respectively.

    And I say this as someone who doesn't smoke, drink or even eat sugar.

  • @Ballzofier I agree 100%, also as a pot smoker

  • is the apple pie a lie?

  • Carl Sagan and his followers don't die...They go to Hell and regroup.

    Fuck you, religion!

  • 4:20 This video is trippy! I'll bet that Sagan was high for the entire duration of 'Cosmos'.

  • @PairInstabilityType i bet he was not and it was therefore he could think such clear thoughts

  • love the turtleneck

    

  • The only reason Hubble invented spacial curvature was because of his bias atheistic philosophy.

    "Therefore, in order to restore homogeneity, and to escape the horror of a unique position, the departures from uniformity, which are introduced by the recession factors, must be compensated by the second term representing effects of spatial curvature. There seems to be no other escape."

  • the extra "up and down" directions of the transition to 4D can only be visualized on a 3-sphere. the problem with trying to visualize it as you do the other directions is that you try to envision it placed on a 2-sphere, which you can't do. analogously, the third directions "up and down" cant be visualized on a 1-sphere, a circle.

  • meh, truth is they don't know shit

  • He made everything so simple. He could easily share his love for astronomy with anyone.

  • I want more! These are too short!

  • @blacklanternz Watch Cosmos, you'll get many hours of this stuff

  • Cool...

  • @kansaimagic well put :) ... we can hope the knowledge spreads ... the internet is definitely helping ... but "the powers that be" may in fact profit from mass ignorance ... and on the topic of religion (unrelated to the video), there is only one point i would like to put across ... Religion is not a SOURCE of morality ... morality in fact has more to do with our evolutionary instincts as a species ... its intrinsic ... not something that is derived from an external source ...

  • continued from previous. It all fits. The theoretical physicists of M-THEORY claims that the parallel membranes within the 11th dimension have to ripple. These ripples are the warps and curves within the 11th dimension which is why they have a stronger effect on us and why we have matter and the universe itself from the collision of the parallel membranes i.e. the big bang.

  • The only possible shapes of the space-time fabric are spherical, elliptical, and infinite objects. Spherical objects are planets, moon, suns, etc. Elliptical objects are galaxies and solar systems. And the only infinite object in the universe is the body left over by the intense gravitational field...black holes. Gravity is also caused by the warps and curves within the space-time fabric. The other forces are stronger because they are caused by warps and curves in the 11th dimension of M-THEORY!

  • It has now been proven that space is not CURVED....

  • @redguitar69 no it hasn't.

  • Comment removed

  • There only one thing I need to see to confirm everything. Where does new matter enter our universe? Could it be from the mysterious gamma ray bursts?, or as the universe expands, our our mass expand with it, everything gets heavier but we don't notice due to relativity. 

  • theres one thing I can say all this science shit has taught me. Big and small are the SAME.. the only difference is the time scale. Big is slow, small is fast. We could absolutely be living in a universe contained within a much larger black hole, only the black hols is so large, the timescale has slowed to the point where it seems like nothing is happening. Also if y ou get sucked into a black hole, you will enter a new timescale, and thus a new universe

  • "because there's so much matter in the universe that it gravitationally warps space, closing it back on itself" -

    Carly Sag'ns explanation of the evolutionary notion that spheres formed by naturalistic processes, is anything but scientific. He simply pulled that from out of his gravitational dark hole... where you will find absolutely no brilliantly stellar, shining radiance

  • i don't like the analogy he is trying to make. Discovering another dimension is nothing like discovering the earth was round. Flat earth believers realised there were 3 spacial dimensions since they were observable on smaller objects. These people simply couldn't imagine the round earth "hanging" there in the universe not falling "down" :)

  • Shit nigga im high

  • @Theonlyuberpickle nothing better then watching youtube vids of cosmology

  • @horbergaren Sure there is. Schooling people that think cosmology and cosmetology are the same thing.

  • @simbeau i'm sorry, i do not speak English as my main language

  • 7 primates didn't quite get it!

  • no carl! D: dont slide into the wormhole!

  • @kojimapie Don't worry, he's a highly intelligent scientist!

  • Since this was filmed, scientists have proved (Boomerang experiment a.o.) that the assumption that the universe curves back into itself is false. The universe is flat.

    So Sagan was wrong for the most part here.

  • @henkvanderlaak wtf are you on about "the universe is flat"? And where did you get this Boomerang experiment from? I don't really care to look into it. It's not my field, but I find Carl so interesting. If you can convince me to question this vid then I will, but all you have done so far is make incoherent assertions. Care to explain yourself by directing me to a link or something?

  • @Pigroota I am on about the progress physics has made since this was filmed. Just go to Wikipedia and look for "boomerang experiment" (very interesting stuff, please do). This experiment taught us that the universe does not in fact 'curve into itself' as Sagan demonstrated in the video. Carl Sagan has made invaluable contributions to science, and I respect him a lot. But unlike religion, science moves on and when new facts are discovered, our insights have to change This is one of those facts.

  • @henkvanderlaak ok ok, maybe I will go check that one out

  • Carl Sagan = Chuck Norris of Science

  • It's so hard to wrap your head around this stuff. :)

  • I wish i was smart enough to think in more than three dimensions. But I agree, our observations of the universe is very likely skewered.

  • @NobbyKNobbs

    "think in more than 3 dimensions"

    I have a video on hypercubes that may be a good place to start.

  • @NobbyKNobbs Hahaha skewered... i think you mean 'skewed'

  • Why are people so into wormholes, they involve extremely complicated science that wont be materialized for thousands of years or more by man.

  • @yuri35435 People also tried to achieve flight thousands of years ago, but it was only until recently we've had the power to do it. Tell the greatest scientists back then what a propeller is or what a combustion engine is, and they would likely deduce it as gibberish. Then try to explain to them the complexities of a turbine engine, or rockets, which can shoot us to other celestial bodies. Sure we cant imagine a way to use wormholes right now, but its only a matter of time.

  • 7 people couldn't handle the concept

  • 7 people, despite all odds, were smart enough to push the dislike button.

    It's just too bad, after such an achievement, these people are still retarded.

  • @MalchikBlue i think everyone deserves having there own opinion without being mocked, your'e quite rude...

  • There will never be another man like Carl Sagan!

  • I love that guy.

  • Carl Sagan is the man

  • We could be living inside a Black hole. Would make perfect sense to me. Kinda sounds more like a multiverse to me.

  • Yeah. Listen to him explain a googloplex. WOW!!

  • In What year was this made ?

    I ask soley on the insightful information recovered by the W2 map that indicates the universe indeed is a closed one. (If I'm not mistaken, ofcourse)

  • @SystematicSequence It's Cosmos: A Personal Voyage, which aired in late 1980.

  • People like Carl Sagan, Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, and Hubble blow my mind. Like I feel like loading a revolver and shooting my brains out because my head hurts so bad after hearing them talk. That's not a bad thing. It's like I watch this and go, "Jesus Christ, how could one person be that smart? How can he explain something so incredibly complex in such a simple manner?"

    I mean my jaw is just dropped.

  • @NeilFraudstrong their intellect is all insignificant compared to nicola tesla's

  • "... That is, from a philosophical and imaginative point of view, perhaps the most important of all the novelties that Einstein introduced." On the other hand, some people would readily assume that Einstein's findings in Physics support the Kantian view of space and time. However, Russell is explicitly clear in stating that it is misleading to believe that Einstein's space-time in any way resembles Kant's space and time......Bertrand Russell ...taken from wikipedia, not mine

  • Comment removed

  • I love science, but i do believe God created us and everything else.

  • @anomaly1978

    everything else would include all the horrible viruses, cancer, mental illness, death, suffering...etc.

    even if god was real he would be one evil motherfucker.

  • @Uteko95 albert einstein once argued that cold couldn't be studied, because it was merely the absence of heat. he also said the dark could not be studied, because it was merely the absence of light.

    he said, similarly, evil itself does not exist - it is merely the absence of good.

    although he studied the stars and the ways of the universe, he was forever puzzled by HOW it all started and began believing in higher beings, though not in the same way as many people today.

    im personally atheist btw

  • i wish carl sagan was my high school ap physics teacher.

  • A video for all time and for people of all ages. He is a kind and gentle man and I wish he was my kids' teacher. They'd learn so much from him, first and foremost how to be human and kind. Truly will we miss Carl immensely.

  • no one could ever know how many dimensions exists in this Universe ,maybe are 4 ,maybe are 11...maybe an infinit number ....

  • FUCK THE 6 WHO DISLIKED THIS VIDEO!!

  • @SpectreOfNorway String Theory says there might be 11 dimentions

  • ... GodDidIt... :D

  • If the "Big Bang" was about 14 Billion years ago, that is the age of our Universe. How do we know if there are several Billion Universes Trillions of light years away? There light wouldn't reach our known Universe until many Billions of years after it has vaporized into "nothingness". What if there has been a series of "Big Bangs" over the last 5 Trillion years that have long created, expanded and faded away Billions of Universes? Human mind cannot fathom infinity or eternity...

  • "As if they had made some dreadful intergalactic social blunder..."

    I love this!

  • Is he suggesting that the universe is flat but curved? That if we take a space shift and go straight the entire time, we would end up where we started again?

  • 4:23 WEEEE!

  • Thank you for posting these video's. I just discovered Carl Sagan today.

  • Geometry of Universe. The problem with a closed box, without an outside, is the heat has nowhere to go, thus we should be surrounded by rising heat (it is still quanta of energy) and light as bright as our Sun. Therefore, are we in some kind of curved Universe that folds back into itself, or is it infinite in all dimensions? One has us dying in a cosmic heat up and the other dying in a cosmic cool down. If curved, then what shape is it? Like a Klein bottle?

  • @WOWJBEOWULF You're right! Sometimes I believe that scientists just try to make things look harder than what they really are... so they can be ''the gate keeper'' of a knowledge that ''people'' don't quite understand... Today... it seems that the universe is... more or less... flat!

  • 4:16

    NO, BAD CARL SAGAN. SCIENCE DOESN'T SUCK, IT PUSHES OR PULL.

  • He's great.

    R.I.P

  • omg it Skinner. :D

  • Just listening to Carl Sagan raises your IQ by 20 points!

  • @tuzmor Does it? I think his talent is explaining rarely discussed concepts in basic terms to people unfamiliar with them. To anyone with a degree in astrophysics this stuff is child's play. Equally those people would need a basic explanation of say egyptian hieroglyphs. Accruing knowledge doesn't raise your IQ and physics isn't intrinsically hard, most people just assume it is because they didn't like it at school.

  • @tuzmor Carl Sagan was the man who brought REAL Science to the man in the street.  He wasn't just a scientist, he was an educator!

  • @tuzmor do u hav any hard evidence for this claim? lol :-)

  • Only Chuck Norris has traveled and can experience the fourth dimension. This is the truth.

  • @jayjasonbird that's becasue he made it

  • @jayjasonbird The fourth dimension is time. But...

    Chuck Norris can Imagine and experience multiple dimensions.

  • @tuzmor

    Not really....time isn't counted as a physical dimension.

  • Astronomers in particular and science in general do not know what they say. The historical answer concerning the universe have it in the video: "Orbit of the Sun and orbits of Venus" but do not want to take notice. Insist on maintaining the falsehood of all mankind for 30 paltry pieces of silver ...

  • Does LSD or DMT let us explore other dimensions?

  • "...as if they had made some dreadful intergalactic social blunder..."..this guy is amazing.

  • very interesting!

  • this guy is a dumbass!

  • @vasilislog Vasilislog, instead of doing your mentally retarded name calling and demonstrating your obvious lack of intellectual capacity. Get an education.

  • @vasilislog - Lol this guy has a P.h.d in astro-physics

  • carl sagan reminds me of agent smith from the matrix.

  • A good indicator of higher dimensions is (Like in this case) if you cannot divide the total area of your orient by the number of dimensions you suppose it has.

    I.E. you can't cover ALL of a sphere with 2 dimensional squares.

  • @Xeonveridan

    you can cover all of a cube with 2d squares lol

  • @Kooshka1313

    Oh yeah man, no doubt. But it's when you try to cover a sphere with 2d squares evenly... Then you get into problems.

  • @Xeonveridan

    yeah i know haha

    i was just being an ass :P

    sorry (:

  • @Kooshka1313

    It's okay-- Just a mix up I think.

  • @Xeonveridan might consider using a circle then

  • @2CSST2

    Nope, circles actually can't geometrically cover anything without leaving gaps and/or overlap. So circles don't work.

  • @Xeonveridan hmm Im pretty sure circles will leave gaps on anything it forms except a sphere just as anything other than a circle would leave gaps forming a shere. If you cut a tiny hole in a sphere, and open it and lay it out it will form a perfect circle

  • i like the videogame laserz.

    4:01

    *pew pew pew*

  • I personally think ghosts are the same thing as gods or imaginary friends; concepts of (meaning conceived in) the human mind.

    some people are convinced they hear jesus' voice, some believe their imaginary friend is real, ghosts are probably no different - convincing to the observer but merely the misinterpretation of stimulus; imagined or experienced.

  • @gavsmith1980 Stimulus created by what? What is on the outside of our senses -outside of the box with 5 holes- that can even hit us and cause something as abstract as an imagination to be formed through electrical and chemical reactions in our brains? A source for that which is outside our senses must exist, I call this source god.

  • @Budney420 Okay, that's fine, but why would you need to call him the God of Abraham and have him influence your political and daily routines and waste so many hours worshipping that. If you've thought this deeply about it, then you realize the lack of evidence for the Bible, at least. What would be the point of exalting the "unexplained outside force" as apposed to the God of western civilization? Why wouldn't that unexplained force be Thor, or as Dawkins said, the Great Juju in the Sky?

  • @amanatee You wouldn't, peoples ideas of what god actually is, to me, is greatly skewed by those who have recreated the bible to have it say their own words. My god is not the god of Abraham. My god is not the god of the bible or any established religion. I have realized my god in its true form and by doing this, have realized that I myself, within my consciousness, am god. We are not something separate.

  • @Budney420

    "stimulus created by what?"

    the mind, the inanimate, or something natural.

    "a source for that which is outside our senses must exist"

    the same source as those which we CAN exist; nature.

    we cannot directly detect UV or x-rays, and many different forms of radiation, but they're all radiated the same way; naturally.

    of course you rightly say there are things we have never detected or sensed, but why assume they are any less natural than the things we can and do detect/sense?

  • @gavsmith1980 By saying that god would be unnatural, you're just as easily saying that we ourselves our unnatural

  • @Budney420

    "saying that god would be unnatural"

    I have never said, nor implied such a thing.

    please read my comments again, this time observing that when I say "natural," I mean "NOT SUPERnatural," as by far the most common concept of god is; a seperate, self conscious, supernatural entity.

    If you concede god only exists in your mind, then we're in agreement.

  • @gavsmith1980 All things are natural, all things originate from the observer. Without the observer there is nothing. The observer creates interpretation of its reality, creates opinion then justifies it based upon things it has observed in the past. Reality is subjective.

  • @Budney420

    "without the observer there is nothing"

    rubbish.

    the universe in it's entirety exists whether something sentient can experience parts of it or not.

    this is a philosophical quandry on par with schrodinger's cat, or the tree making noise if no one is there to hear it.

    in the fundamentally microscopic aspects of reality, yes, things require an observer to observe them, before interpreting the reality of the situation.

    our macroscopic environment does not.

    it is real, observed or not.

  • @gavsmith1980 If at the most basic level an observer is required for existence, then an observer is required for existence. If at the most basic level time does not exist, then time does not exist. It's the fundamentals that really count, so we're left with the question "Why do we observe? And what does it mean to us?" At a macroscopic level its all well and good that things exist -to us-, but if no thing ever saw it, it only could have existed, it never has.

  • Strange, I've had the same theory about ghosts, poltergeists and other paranormal entities!

    I've had the idea that if a human being or an animal passes away and many people have a strong, vivid memory of the beings past life, than they can come back physically fragmented and seldom visible. The visibility factor is due to the mind conceiving something that is not completely whole to begin with. They don't know every single detail about the entity, so they can not make it complete like it was.

  • @gavsmith1980 that has nothing to do with the video

  • @TheWindowWasherr

    what doesn't?

    feel free to click on "see all comments" to follow the conversation thus far.

  • @gavsmith1980 maybe ghosts are beings of the 4th dimension?

  • @AwsomnessStudios

    no one knows enough to say that's impossible, but I can find plenty of psychologists who would say that it's vastly more probable that ghosts are our tendancy to add percieved detail to otherwise inanimate surroundings.

    it's natural to assume the presence of another being when something startles you or something you cant explain happens.

    it's a MUCH greater survival trait to assume that someone or something IS there, than not to, regardless of whether something really is.

  • @gavsmith1980 But what about multiple people having the same experience? Would that mean each one of them has a synchronized misinterpretation of the same stimuli? I understand there are many people that suffer from schizophrenia and overactive imaginations, but I do not believe every ghost story is false. Ghosts and demons could very well possibly be alien or natural lifeforms that we are unable to communicate with. Religions could be misinterpretations of this, or they could be correct.

  • we`re 3 dimensional beings with 2 dimensional shadows which is as much as we can perceive whilst we might be 3 dimensional shadows of 4 dimensional hyper-beings. we can only imagine, but sadly never get there.

    mind is as powerful and vast as the universe that whatever we thought of and dreamt of, defying all laws of physics as we know of, might actually be a reality somewhere far far away we`ll never reach or know about.

    but thats life :(.

  • A black hole is not a hole

    Its an incredible amount of mass packed into a small ball

    my theory is that eventually all the black holes and supermassive blackholes will join and create a brontomassive blackhole.

    Then it with either stay there forever or implode and rebirth the universe...

    just a theory :>

  • well hawking's radiation says that Black holes are not eternal

  • Black holes do have an incredible amount of mass, but it's not packed into a 'small ball.' That 'small ball' is really a gravitational singularity that has an infinite density and zero volume, which means it has mass and occupies no space, which is where the 3d "hole" analogy fits better than the "small ball" theory.

    The event horizon (or "visible" part) of a black hole is not the black hole itself, but only a product of its gravity.

    Also, your theory is known as the Big Crunch theory :)

  • @CrMoshed

    A black hole is neither a hole nor a ball, it's a point with no length/width/depth (1D). Unless it rotates, then it's a circle, with no thickness or depth, just circumference (2D)

  • Yes, they have matter, but they're still considered holes (three dimensional, not two) because they have no volume and a virtually infinite escape velocity. I suck at explaining things, so look up how gravity affects spacetime and it should make more sense.

    normalperson - grow up. Acting like the youtube troll isn't a good way to prove a point unless you don't want people to give a crap what you say.

  • i think u need to read more about black holes , u are swearing and acting like a child talking about black holes , but u dont even know how they work ...

    and u say they violate conservation of matter ....are u fucking retarded? no scientist in the world ever said matter is destroyed by black holes ..

    and radiation is made from the same particles matter is ....

    u can turn matter into energy (or radiation) so matter can be transformed , not believe me look at hiroshima.

  • the idea that a black hole is a "hole" just shows that u know nothing about them

    u can not see a black hole but u can proove its there by its gravitational pull ..

    its simply alot of mass in 1 point , and because there is so much mass there the space time is curved so much its called an "infinite curvature" cus the black hole literally "shrinks" forever into sizes smaller than the plank lenght ...this doesnt violate any physics principles at all ..

  • and black holes do "collapse"

    they actually evaporate ...if a black hole doesnt have any near by matter to suck in , it slowly dissapears and at the end has a small explosion ...

    what really happens is it boosts virtual particles near it into real particle loosing energy, and therefore loosing mass ..

    so a black hole can dissapear if it doesnt suck in matter ....and micro black holes act the same way..

  • Listen. Nobody knows if they collapse. Again. Don't be such aknow it all. You dont and i dont but at least im aware of it. Scientists have never viewed a black hole collapsing. All that was was a theory thrown out there by that doucher in a wheelchair. Mr. hawking.

  • Black "holes" break too many laws of the universe to exist. All these are are fuzzballs. Giant balls of strings. Black holes use such unimaginable terms as infinity for gravity and zero for density. But with fuzzballs you can actually calculate densitiy. But how would anybody know? Nobody has seen a black hole in person.

  • black holes themselves dont actually violate any laws ..

    even elementary particles wich are called point particles or 0 dimensional , but quantum mechanics do have a size

    the singularity at the core of a black hole is called a singilarity cus its 1 point , but at thoose scales, human concepts like size and shape or texture have no place ...

    and string theory is still very much in its infancy ...
