Cosmos Episode 9: The Lives of the Stars Part 1 of 6

[thekanpar2]

i thought he said GOOGLE

[DevinedKiller]

I knew Google was big.

[RoderichEdelstein727]

Most dramatic music I've ever heard put to food preparation.

[AdropInTheRain]

anyone else noticed that when he says 90 at 3:43 the sound changes, and his lips dont say 90 more like 80

, i guess they did a mistake and then changed it.

[JohnF30Music]

@AdropInTheRain the music didn't change, but you're most probably right, they did make a mistake and then changed it with a voiceover

[Aletheophile]

@AdropInTheRain Yeah, that's odd, as far as I can work out the correct answer is about 82 or 83 successive cuts.

[milkywaycenter]

So that's where Google got it's name.

[crazzikidd93]

whats the name of that song at 4:53

[Tekkenfreek234]

This guy, man...There are just no words to explain him.

[jimbofair]

jimbofair- glass is a viscous fluid. a window pane of glass over a period of time will become a puddle.

[LordZontar]

That was always one of my favourite openings for any episode of the series, culminating with that wonderful statement: "If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the Universe." That was a wonderful distillation of the entire concept of what "from scratch" means in making anything.

[krapptacular]

Glass i thought was the solid, in nature the only natural way i know to have glass as a liquid is from magma from volcano,maybey they have some new thing out though.

[TheOldCrankyWorkshop]

@zombieregime, @magnuslerbrekk, @CRISNCHIPS12398 : Spun glass window panes were almost always mounted thick edge down. I've re-glazed old windows where the thick edge was up or to the side. Does that mean that glass is also lighter than air? No. Look at some antique centuries-old glass-topped desks. Sorry, glass is quite solid.

[ZarathustrasCrown]

@TheOldCrankyWorkshop Glass is solid as we use it for sure, but my (admittedly limited) understanding tells me that it, like any substance, exists as a solid HERE...if I put a pane of glass into (for example) a 5000 degree oven somehow, would it not melt into a liquid just like most substances?

[mrchoochoohead]

Google fucked up. I'm going to register Googol.com

[zombieregime]

go read wikipedia's section on glass, specifically 'Behavior of antique glass' and stop arguing.

[texpeare]

Now I want pie.

[T800System]

haha.. those immortal words "if you wish to make an apple pie from scratch - you must first create the universe."

[focista6]

@T800System *invent the universe

[T800System]

@focista6

sorry, I stand corrected! :P

[killaspongebob666]

haha HE CALLED GLASS A SOLID!!!!

[Squiglypig]

@killaspongebob666 That depends on what form it currently has.

Glass is solid if it cools down, as would most materials that have a liquid form as well.

Water is a liquid right until the moment it turns into ice. Then it's a solid.

[killaspongebob666]

@Squiglypig actually, no. glass is, and almost always when we see it, will be a liquid.

[Squiglypig]

@killaspongebob666 Then why IS it solid when it cools down?

If it's not A solid, then why IS it solid?

Chemistry does work like that.

Is it solid? If yes, then it's a solid.

Is it liquid? If yes, then it's liquid.

Is it gasseous? If yes, then it's a gas.

Chemistry is wonderfully simple that way.

[killaspongebob666]

@Squiglypig chemistry may be simple, yes, but glass flows, at a very slow pace granted, but it still flows.

i would suggest you do alittle research before questioning me, did it not once cross your mind that i may be right? is your mind that closed?

[Squiglypig]

@killaspongebob666 It did cross my mind, but then I did the proper research and concluded that you're wrong.

Glass is a solid.

It CAN be liquid (or semi.. It'll be as liquid as gravy), if it's heated up, but just like water, if you cool it enough, it turns solid.

Now water turns into a liquid again when heated up, but we determine what it is in its natural form when we give it its characteristics, which in water's case, is a liquid and in glass' case, a solid.

[magnuslerbrekk]

@Squiglypig Glass is liquid you retarded childish fuck...

[Squiglypig]

@magnuslerbrekk And where have you learned that?

Also: Thanks for the wonderful compliments.

Glass is a solid.

If it was categorized as a liquid, it would BE A liquid.

Saying that glass is a liquid is like saying that water is a gas.

[ZarathustrasCrown]

@Squiglypig Glass is a solid within our framework...if we moved a sheet of glass onto Mercury however things would be very different. Things are only "solid" or "liquid" so long as a certain range of temperatures are held, we make water gas all the time, boil water and watch the white vapor that pours out, that's gaseous water. Ice is the opposite, solid water. Glass is no different, if lightening hits sand it will "melt" it and at the right temperature make it liquid glass for a split second

[Squiglypig]

@ZarathustrasCrown That's what I'm saying.

I bet this was a reply to my last comment on this subject whole "Glass is a liquid!" thing.

That's exactly why I said that "Saying that glass is a liquid is like saying that water is a gas" is because glass IS a liquid if it's heated and water IS a gas if it's heated.

I might not be a physics major, but I do know some elementary chemistry :/

[CRISNCHIPS12398]

@magnuslerbrekk How is glass a liquid? Just wondering...

[magnuslerbrekk]

@CRISNCHIPS12398 Hi! If you take a look at windows on a old house you will notice that its thicker at the bottom than the top for example...

[CRISNCHIPS12398]

@magnuslerbrekk Hmmmmmm, very interesting! I'll be reading up on this.

[fruitytuttiluigi]

Am I the only one who thought "MWAHAHAHAHAHA EVIL APPLE PIE OF EVIIIIIIIIIIIL" at 1:18?

[maryellencastello]

I wonder if Ann Druyan ever made Dr. Sagan apple pies at home . . .

[Moronvideos1940]

The Internet is made for the distribution of information and shouldn't be a corporate war zone. They must come to an agreement about royalty sharing, same as they did when allowing songs to be played on the radio. I can record any song from the radio, why not the internet ? The world will self destruct because of greed and ignorance and I wish my anger could fix things.

[weedbix]

"More or less"

:D

[cristianfcao]

Chuck Norris once wrote a googol plex without using scientific notation :-)

[sianlovescats]

@cristianfcao Hahahahahaha!

[marknl25266]

geus he was wrong±'

[amorphousguy]

If I had Sagan as a teacher, I would definately make an A in his class.

[Npowell01]

I wish all my teachers had been able to hold my attention like this.

Carl Sagan makes everything he's talking about fascinating, beautiful, and trippy all at once.

[coolioto]

How does one unsubscribe?

[soupisgreat]

Carl can't cut pie. Still looks pretty delicious though...

[quantumtachyon]

I saw A Glorious Dawn before seeing this, and it clear, the way he says the apple pie line was just begging to be taken. Sagan had a way of delivering his speech lyrically.

[Zekkandgrant13]

100000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­00000000000 <- 1 Googol

[Maphysto]

Aw yeah, the famous apple pie line.

[ReclusiarchGrimaldus]

Looks like Carl had a bit of an oopsie at around 3:42. In the video, he mouthed the word "eighty" but said "ninety." You can clearly hear when it dubs too.

Not really important nor demeaning to his character, just something I noticed.

[AmandaTheStampede]

@ReclusiarchGrimaldus

don't think i ever would have noticed that o__O

[ReclusiarchGrimaldus]

@AmandaTheStampede Well, it's in my nature to notice stupid shit that no one would care about one way or another.

[tsimon1234]

@ReclusiarchGrimaldus Very well spotted. Ah well. What's a dubbing error between friends? Nice name btw.

[ReclusiarchGrimaldus]

@tsimon1234 It's all good. Thanks.

[tsimon1234]

@ReclusiarchGrimaldus Just wondering. Where did you get the name? Sounds familiar...

[ReclusiarchGrimaldus]

@tsimon1234 You happen to play Warhammer 40k? That's where its from.

[tsimon1234]

@ReclusiarchGrimaldus Ah! Yes. That's right. Grimaldus was a Black Templars Chaplain was he not? I'm a Guard player myself.

[ReclusiarchGrimaldus]

@tsimon1234 Yeah, that's right. :P

[tsimon1234]

@ReclusiarchGrimaldus Crazy templars. =D

[anexistentialdilemma]

I wanted to make an apple pie, but I'm fresh out of universes. Fuck.

[Virgilx711]

Does anyone know the name of the particular piece of music that starts at about 3:00?

[scienceandreasoniluv]

I went and bought an apple pie after this.

[MetalGearSamus]

Carl Sagan,

He makes Epic Pies

[defstoner18]

But he can't put a slice a pie for crap! lol, Long live Carl Sagan.

[whatyouwannamyfriend]

Dr. Sagan was very blessed being in terms of human sense.

[whatyouwannamyfriend]

aaahhhh I love Googol and the way he explains it.

[weaselidiotu]

lol creation!!

[EmpireLS56KW]

Science and mathematics is an extraordinary subject that completely baffles and dazzles me!

Googl-plex

[VenomFrogX]

It's almost like Carl Sagan has gone mad. He's supposed to talk about the cosmos, not about apple pie! LOL

Carl Sagan FTW.

[KarinMikazuki]

Crumbly but.. Good.

[AlternativeUses]

haha

[whatyouwannamyfriend]

He didn't go mad, He tried to explain as easy as he could what infinitum or eternity means, the limits of supply and demand and the inevitable faith of some and all humans in one way an in another.

[GammyGoose]

I wish I had copyrighted the word Googol when I first watched this series.

[holycow818181]

The next time I make an apple pie, I'm going to play really dramatic music in the background and do everything in slow motion.

[Kenzofeis]

Saying that stuff is made mostly of 'nothing' isn't totally correct; there is something everywhere.

The 'particles' are mere sparks, or rifts, swirling around in a sea of energy-waves, tapping into this energy in some way, to be sustained, all following some rules.

These rules regulates the "quanta" or quality of each 'rift', also how much energy it can lend to stay what it is..

Or what ;P

[Kenzofeis]

Further, inertia explained as the "deal" made between one of, or a aggregate of, these small "rifts" and all others when starting a movement, to change this movement all other matter must be notified and there will be a lag, hysteresis, resistance - so in essence this mass is told to continue since that was the previous plan, sort of.

Or what ;)

[Massflavour]

lmfao

[boxhillcar]

god bless you Carl

[greefermike]

UNGREATFULL GIT. Didnt even eat any, those people spent all that time making him an applie pie so he could prove a point? xD

intersting stuff though, very profound, very thought provoking.

[jaydavies1984]

crumbly but..good Lol

[chretiendutroyes]

Jesus Christ, Carl! You think you could butcher that fucking pie any worse?

[0428733]

I want a piece of that

[Ultrajack100]

cosmos will remain one of my most favorite documentaries, and sagan will remain one of my greatest heroes

[Elenkeon]

He's my hero. His inspiration was (and still is) a light when people capitulated to pessimism.

[RikkiOh80]

There is a need for more people like Carl Sagan. He will be forever missed..

[Squirrelfreak91]

so true ^^

[Daruqe]

@RikkiOh80

Then let him be an example for us all.

[Swifty1060]

Thanks, More people need to watch and understand this!

[diceyreilly]

you couldnt be more correct. cosmos should have bible status among mankind because it is built upon truth and fact. the book version is even better and more profound
