  • cool!!!

  • Science & Education will save our planet from ignorance, while religitards sit in their brainwashing cult centers telepathically talking to their imaginary friends. Waiting for their mythical Armageddon & Apocalypse that will never come, unless they bring it upon themselves. Seeking out answers, and grasping a greater understanding of our Universe, is far more gratifying and rewarding than simply letting a primitive book of fairy tales do the thinking for us and just claiming that "gawd did it."

  • very informative video

  • wow i love this video..i always have been fascinated about universe, dark matter, distance galaxy

  • The universe is chock full of resources. The asteroids contain enough material for trillions of humans. We should move to space...where we belong.

  • 19 people thinks that Earth is thecenter of the universe :)

  • so this is where we are in the galaxy? cool ! i thought we were inside a spiral arm somewhere.

    And theres like 500years at least before our stupidity radiowaves (like pi=3.14 instead of 6.28(circles radiate,notdiametrate)) reach any possible intelligent life elsewhere.So we have a better view of the core than they might have,yet we may have a more distorted view of reality ! (why don't scientist upgrade science bytheway ???? pi2.0=6.28....reality is made of scales of RADIi-@-ion dontUregognise ?

  • we are a spec of dust........ scratch that...a molecule in this universe.

  • There can never be another earth exactly like this one. Close perhaps but not exact.

    There is only one of me and I'm on this planet which makes it unique.

  • This vid's on YT too, When it goes from the microwave background radiation back to to Earth I like to play Lamb of God's The Passing over it, try it =)

  • why is everything seemingly stationary? the solar system itself moves at something like 240km a second, doesn't it?

  • @coach10brown even if the movement of the solar system was animated in the video, it would not be visible to the naked eye

  • Skön snubbe alltså!

  • One of the most amazing 3d videos I have seen on space.

  • Dude lol. I don't know what I want to major in right now lol. Biochemistry or Physics lol. So much I want to learn and get involved in.

  • Fractile /watch?v=ay8OMOsf6AQ

  • 2:20-3:42 = mind rape.

  • "Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? I could really use a wish right now"

    -Abraham Lincoln

  • Humbling

  • Science gives us Woah!

    Religion gave us Noah.

    No thanks religion.

  • @TheRationalizer why do you use this forum to propagate anti-religion memes?

    A. pitting science against religion is idiot.

    B. it makes the attempted legitimization of your ideas (by association) quite plain.

  • @coach10brown

    If religious people want to keep their beliefs to themselves or claim that their beliefs are not based on reality then all the best to them. However if they wish to enter the public domain claiming their religions are real and make sense then I shall most certainly point out their false claims. I think that's fair.

    I see a billboard near my house declaring there is a god and this is his world, I don't ram my stuff down people's throats.

  • @TheRationalizer so, you're angry with religion for using public spaces for their message, and in response you do the same exact thing?

    that's cool. makes sense.

  • @TheRationalizer You don't understand what religion is. Religions are man-made systems of rites and rituals, e.g. Catholicism, Buddhism, Mormonism, Islam, etc. Religion is not belief, it is ritual. One can be religious about brushing his teeth 3 times a day.

    A major portion of the Bible is historical documentation. Noah lived. Everything that can be proved or historically corroborated about the Bible has been, to date. Unlike Catholicism, Christianity is not a religion, it is a belief.

  • @Suckbutton

    Christianity is a belief system and yet not everything that is "believed" is a rite or a ritual, for example believing that Jesus walked on water is neither a rite or a ritual.

    >Proved correct

    Ah, so we have evidence that when Jesus died all the pious people in the local cemetery came back to life and visited their relatives?

  • @TheRationalizer First, you repeat the same point that I made--that Christianity is a *belief*, and not a religion. Catholicism is a religion, because it adds man-made rites and rituals to the teachings of Christ which are nowhere in the Bible.

    As for evidence, reread my post: I never said there is evidence for everything--hardly! But non-Christian archaeologists and historians have verified much of the Bible's content. All? Hell, no. But don't pretend the whole thing is fairy tale...

  • @Suckbutton

    There are splinter beliefs off the core of Christianity (Mary's ascension to heaven) but the core of Christianity is the BELIEF that Jesus performed miracles and rose from the dead.

    So, are you confirming there is NO evidence that all those people in the cemetery came back to life?

  • @TheRationalizer You're getting confused--Mary worship, like many other things, is a creation of the man-made Catholic religion--those things are nowhere in the Bible and are not Christian.

    Secondly, and let's make sure we know the difference between evidence and proof--no one says there is proof: Jesus' body was missing, historians agree. This is not proof, but evidence. Since I don't have much space here, check this out:

    christianity . net . au / questions / other-than-the-bible

  • @Suckbutton

    >You're getting confused

    Please don't talk down to me as if I am an idiot, I am not.

    I didn't talk about worshipping Mary, I mentioned her alleged ascension - that is a belief in Catholocism. The "Christian" belief is that Jesus rose from the dead.

    So, please try answering my question. Are you agreeing that there is no corroborative EVIDENCE that those people in the cemetery came back to life?

  • Whoa, man, it's the Total Perspective Vortex!

  • wtf dude

  • @akrulla search YouTube : large structure of the universe. And get ready to drool!

  • the whole time i watched this my jaw was dropped

  • i have dreamed of this as a toddler. took a bloody while innit ;)

  • Woah

  • Fantastic. Could we have the next one go all the way from the subatomic to the intergalactic, please?

  • This is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen!

  • Carl Sagan would be glad to see those images.

  • Please redo it in HD

  • It's amazing people still believe that the Earth is merely 6,000 years old. It takes longer the travel to another Galaxy via speed of light. The 'Young Earth' theory is metaphorically raped with debunks in this video and they didn't even try too. But on another point; absolutely amazing video. It made me feel and understand that our reality isn't only within Earth, our planet, but that our home is the entire Universe. The potential of thought blows me away. This is incredible.

  • Our tiny planet is fairly insignificant. The important part of us is that the universe evolved a conscience which is us humans.

  • @Ramshobraja Please respect mother Earth, our planet might be tiny and insignificant for the universe, but it is everything to us, and life as far as we know.

  • Wow look at that picture of the visible Universe and then go listen to Nassim Haramein's Universal Field Theory. He talks about the shape of things as an observer being at the center of the Universe. The shape is two vortexes spiraling out in opposite directions and then looping back around to the other side creating a sphere. Wow! This is great stuff to be sharing with 3rd world countries.

  • thats a pretty slick program. what will they be using it for exactly?

  • What's up with the religious fanaticts commenting here ?

    That's a great work, finally an interactive animation too see artificial satellites and our place in the universe!

  • @toocoolforu Cuz it proves we are the center of the  universe, something athiests have been claiming we are not and use it to prove we are nothing and meaningless

  • @Jeffinator22 Are you dumb ? You really think there is a meaning why we are in the center ? First of all, we are not! the universe isn't even in 3 dimensions. You don't have to deny God to accept we're not in the center you nuts. People like you are pathetic.

  • @toocoolforu Whoa whoa I didnt say we were, I dont believe there is a center to the universe, why is everyone so hostile and negative these days.

  • @toocoolforu Some people are basically saying, "there is no God before this". Pathetic, this type of people see science and think they can kill god with it. That is fundamentally anti-science, but nobody stands up to these people?

  • @javonoUTube If anything, the god hypothesis has been made obsolete by science. It's quite possible that we never needed the god hypothesis to explain anything in the first place.

  • @javonoUTube The producers of the technology did not design and distribute it for the reasons of alienating and attacking people, groups or minorities.

  • i like patatoes to.

  • Why is Ted Nugent doing this now? is he not playing anymore?

  • Googleverse

  • what the hell. No HD?

  • Nice work. I guess it's time for GoogleUniverse!

  • @Bonifratz there is already a good free program that does this, it is called "Celestia".

    You can find it if you google.

  • That is amazing, glory to Allah, creator of the heavens and the earth. The beginning is very similar to another video though. Thanks TED !

  • Oh, you forgot the moon.

  • 12 years of work for standard def?

  • is there any way to get this software on our own computers?

  • Awesome presentation! It would be even more so if it were in IMAX!

  • simply put if you believe in god he will show himself *herself to you but if you dont open your mind how will the third eye see if you keep it closed. its something only another believer gets its something no atheist will understand, more than science.

  • @DrOvyZ I believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster. He's the one true God. He told me.

  • Makes you think, god who? Thats laughable compared to this.

  • Mind boggling!

  • LOL rebreb... I like Jebus for the interesting stories in that book, not for the hard work that Carter has done to make this :p

    though might I add Carter got that Jebus hair thing going for shua

  • Insane. The best part for me was seing the extent of our radio signals at 2:38.

  • Wow..amazing! Such a big universe and only intelligent life on our earth. Its like we were placed here on purpose. What a privileged planet we live on. The design we see in the universe is awesome! <--I LOLed. Good job sneaking Jebus in and stealing credits :p

  • @alcoholmania Oh yes....man should get all the credit right? Because we are so intelligent...we are like gods..right? Wrong. When a man admires himself he never adores God.

  • @rebreb06 better to admire ourselves than a fantasy created by man during his first attempts at philosophy in order to satisfy the need for understanding created by his lack of knowledge. Stop watching this stuff, it's clearly too intelligent for you. How can you watch this and adhere to your 'witchcraft' and hocum called Christianity. BTW I ain't angry with God - that's like getting angry with perpetual motion. I'm angry at the twats wasting fresh air preaching that self-indulgent bible crap.

  • @MusicStudyMan The breath you just took..is a gift from God.

  • @rebreb06 God must be really petty and small, if he wants to spend that much effort on a small insignificant pale blue speck of dust in a sunbeam. That'd be Earth, in case you're wondering. Consider for a moment a being capable of creating something as enormous as the universe (I mean, you saw the video, right?) Why is Earth any more important than the rest of it?

  • @autochton Earth isn't. That's why He had to whip it into shape in 7 days. He finished, rented it out to us, and moved on. AND, He's gonna' be pissed when He sees the condition of this rental.... we ain't gettin' our deposit back.

  • "Allah! There is no god but He - the Living, The Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him Nor Sleep. His are all things In the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede In His presence except As he permitteth? He knoweth What Before or After or Behind them. Nor shall they compass Aught of his knowledge Except as He willeth. His throne doth extend Over the heavens And on earth, and He feeleth No fatigue in guarding And preserving them, For He is the Most High. The Supreme."

  • @autochton It's not about importance...its about the privilege. Do you see how privileged we are? Do you really think that's an accident? I'm assuming you have knowledge in the realm of science..and learned of the fine tuning of the universe.

  • @rebreb06 The universe is fine tuned, huh? How do you know? What other universes have you studied to reach that conclusion? How do you know that it's even possible for the aspects that appear so finely tuned to be at all different in any way?

    Same old tired theist arguments over and over again. Are you going to cast doubts on radiological dating next?

    I have no reason to believe Earth holds any privilege at all over the uncounted millions of other worlds like it.

  • @rebreb06 lol dude why are you preaching your religion on a platform that has nothing to do with your religion... c'mon man you guys had your chance in dominating the world for the last few millennia which is really smaller than an atom as you've just seen here, and yet you're still at it.

  • @rebreb06 no it wasn't, it really wasn't. God is an imaginary construct of the human mind. Free yourself from this delusion for Christ's sake!!! LOL

  • Congratulations for the people who participated in making this happen. Magnificent work!

  • Haha, nice, this is the same animation they use at the Science Centre up here in Edmonton, Alberta.

  • Who needs spirituality when you have logic?

  • @rebreb06 wow what a loaded statement.

    "Such a big universe and only intelligent life on our earth." > really you honestly believe that? did you read that in the bible? when christians make hyperbolic statements like this they just reinforce negative stereotypes about their closed/small mindedness.

    go read a book other then the fairy tales youve been reading.

  • @unboring84 You sound angry. Angry at God perhaps? I know what that's like.

  • @rebreb06 We are not alone in this universe. You have to bear in mind that there is so much to explore...

  • Where can i find this program? I soooooo want.

  • SCIENCE BITCHES!

  • mega

  • Magnificent

  • bravo

  • I downloaded this 2 days ago and if I had one thing to say about the program it would be that you MUST read the guide if you want to enjoy the program to its fullest extent. The program is amazing (and free, for now...).

  • Amazeing beaty! Wish it would last longer!

  • 3:50 awesome!

    a Hitchhiker's Map to the Universe!

  • absolutely amazing.

  • My brain is full of fuck!!

  • Awesome stuff. Another demonstration of the spirituality science brings. Who needs religion?

  • @dubaipete

    only when science tells you it is good for you

    Scientists Crack Code of How to Live Past 100: Vegetarianism, Religion, Good Genes

    ironic...

  • @dubaipete I just see evidence of an amazingly scientific God

  • @ruckenfigur Sprituality does not equal religion. It is a very loosely used term. I prefer the term "euphoria" for the specific feeling which science may bring.

  • Comment removed

  • @ruckenfigur Spirituality is a word, like "transcendence" which has an ambiguous meaning and can be used very loosely. Sure, spirituality is an integral part of religion, but there is also such a thing as New-Age spirituality, which has nothing to do with religion and more to do with spirituality. It is entirely possible for there to be such a thing as scientific spirituality, if you want to use that term. I do not prefer to use that term, however. Instead, I use the term scientific euphoria.

  • Comment removed

  • @ruckenfigur If anything, science has shown us what the ultimate nature of reality most likely is: simple indifference. Notice that I said "most likely", not absolutely. Science is always open to various possibilities as long as there is evidence for them.

  • OK people need to knock it off with the 4D thing.

    Guys this Atlas is 3D, thats it. It is designed to map out the universe and display it in a 3D fashion. HOWEVER, it is limited by our knowledge of the universe. HE already said that it's not perfect and new data can be added to correct w/e is wrong/incomplete. So when we will find out a way to know the universe in its current state we can just simply input the information in the Atlas and it will display it in 3D.

    Get it? it's 3D.

  • Research Electric Universe and Plasma Cosmology ! Open your eyes, revolution is here.

  • Who needs drugs when you have this.

  • @celshader Seriously though right? What a trip..

  • his voice is so perfect for this

  • I see that a few people gave this video the thumbs down, they didn't like it... I really have to wonder what those people are thinking... Why would someone dislike this video ???

    ^..^

  • fake

  • Realmente espetacular. Faz a gente se sentir muito, mas muito pequenos mesmo.

  • "The universe is a spheroid region seven hundred and five meters in diameter." - Computer (Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 4 Episode 05 "Remember Me")

    That just came to my mind. I DO NOT want to scientifically discuss this episode though.

  • This is mind boggling... very, very interesting

  • When I saw his hair I was afraid it would just be another new-age, inspirational, unscientific talk... glad I was proven wrong...

  • Before the Big Bang we were all One with Source. Every seemingly separate life form in the universe was the one Son of God. The Son had a mad little idea that it could be separate from the extension of Love, it's Creator. That was the fall spoken of in many traditions that created the Big Bang and the illusion of time and space and separate bodies. 'The Disappearance of the Universe' (great book by Gary Renard) is the end of time and the return home. It's already done. We're just in a hologram.

  • Amazing simply Amazing 

  • If this isn't humbling, I don't know what is.

  • @VolcanoesInTheJungle No telling what's out there.

  • Comment removed

  • Just imagine this video in HD! It would be even more amazing!

  • Amazing! Life is wonder, up above or down under.

  • This is astonishing. I regret that I won't live long enough to see much more.

  • @marsgodofwarx maybe someone will accidentally come across a way to travel in warp speed..

    never know =P

  • Please TED, pretty please, upload in HD!

  • @McSnookerman Its the same video as The Known Universe by AMNH.. and they have it in HD :]

  • Oh come on, TED! This deserves a HD video!

  • florencelovme deleted his channel, thats what one does when they feel so stupid i guess LOL

  • seriously ... who would dislike this? For what reason?

  • @mikeyfbi  - you must be kidding? Every creationist out there (and there a quite a few of them) would look at this as mere scientific nonsense. I mean after all, this was ALL "created" in 6 24hours days about 6000 years ago according to them.

  • whos that chick at the end of the vid :D ???

  • God must be inordinately fond of real estate.

  • Christ I'm small, that made me go a bit wobbly

  • Now if only we could turn the world into one joint colony for humans. But getting a little ahead of myself.

  • amazing stuff!

  • I am more fascinated by his hair than the universe, can he do a 3D computer rendering traveling into his hair?

  • this is ridiculous we all know the world is flat?? Why did he think he would beable to fool us with just pretty images such as these

  • This is unbelievably cool.

  • he looks like a hippie :-)

  • @yourtube20061 how do you know

  • @psilocyberspaceman hmm, dont take my comment too seriously, just the cool t-shirt, the beads, the long hair. a beard and some smoking device is missing though !!

  • @yourtube20061

    I bet he did his fair share of psychedelics. On a different subject, this really puts into perspective how destructive we are. We are trashing our only home.

  • Brilliant. Instant subscribe. And I have a new hero.

  • Flipping amazing software!!

  • This project has to merge with Google Earth to make an even better model of the universe and our earth.

  • Awesome.

  • Linkoping University rocks!!

  • This is the best TED so far!

  • @MilitantPeaceist No. Just no.

  • @RookofIvory

    Yes just yes!!

    It's about time people started seeing the planet as a finite object.

    We are way too invovlved with ourselves at looking at stars while the planet is being used as a trash can.

    It's ok to live in the here & now but it is also ok to take time away to look at the bigger picture.

    Before this, it was the Mirror Neurons article. for me.

    8)) I know I am right, I am only speaking on my byhalf heheheheheheheehee

  • @MilitantPeaceist so youve read about the mirror neurons but still think that a universe map is more interesting than lectures on the functions of the brain and human behavior? wow thats moronic of you to say the least.

  • @florencelovme

    More interesting?

    Who said I find it more interesting?

    It's a pretty moronic thing to build strawmen in a TED thread - fucktard!

    It's the best one I have seen for the balance I was talking about. You have a problem with balance?

    lol

  • @MilitantPeaceist No you said its the best youve seen next to nothing. Youre the fucktard if you cant recall your own words. stupid.

  • @florencelovme

    There was another post after that, fucktard. It is not my problem that you cannot keep continuity or perceive subjectivity properly.

  • @MilitantPeaceist Get over yourself Fucktard. Your hate towards women shows how fucking jealous you are of them and you are about to get reported for abuse. keep up with that shit and I'll have your account shut down by evening.

  • @florencelovme

    Get over myself.

    You see a post of mine and attack me based on something that is subject to me. I might not even have seen that many TED's. I might be educated in different things & that was the one that gave me an epiphanie. You don;t know as you are not me.

    It is fucktards like you that think they know everything & everyone to make calls of moronic.

    & now your strawman build a stigma of women hating.

    What drugs are you on?

    You have no idea who I am.

    Project much?

  • @florencelovme

    Now that's funny.

    Your account is gone o.0

    Troll or the biggest slap in the face by You Tube?

  • @MilitantPeaceist Her account is hidden. It doesn't say "This account is closed" or "This account is suspended".

    Do you see Freigeist20789's comment? Their comment was productive and worth reading. Yours are not, good day.

  • @GottliebBurckhardt

    Oh I see - you are now trolling me here as well as Roze;s thread.

    If you can show me how my comment was wrong in any way, go right ahead.

    Your ad hominem & baseless attacks are still comical ;)

    You don't like for me some reason. Maybe it is the same reason why this person left a bigoted remark on my channel.

    What ever the reason is, it is definately all yours.
