Cosmos Episode 10: The Edge of Forever Part 7 of 7

[chukaz1]

among all the things i've see from his videos, i always enjoy learning new things in life, but one thing i've learned myself very many times, we don't know where we came from, we don't know if we are going some where, but what im sure is that we still treat each other like shit. Impossible seems a little odd when we are proof that something important is going on and this life we call life might be again a weird thing but it had to satart from being smart, nature underneath is very strange.

I am happy to at least of been born in humanity's space beginnings. The data recieved from Hubble and Kepler alone gives me great joy to be alive!

Carl seems to have some experience ;)

He makes me WANT to learn & not take a ''fuck school'' attitude

[dwain1987]

are universe is a proton inside another proton and that proton is another.. thats exacly what i belive in a nutshell =]

[OzzInter]

Brilliant mind challenging stuff!

Remember the human race is only STARTING to discover the universe and its secrets- dogma has no place here.

We must have a total OPEN mind to anything we discover!

sync the sound

[brandelaine5]

The bubble-blowing sounds like a bong

Sagan wasn't a pothead

he just used it to turn science into poetry

[Bondianwolf]

Speaking of tragedies. How about the tragedy that we will murder each other to force our "knowledge" on others. Religion does that, and so does science. If you challenge me to provide an example of science I'll give you one put forward by Michael Crichton: Nazi Eugenics. The point is, Carl described himself as an agnostic. Did he find religions inferior to science? Yes, but he was humble when facing the question: Is what we know, dwarfed by what we don't know? For most the answer is yes.

R.I.P. carl sagan ... best spokesperson of the cosmos ever.....the universe you seek is out there...

[tr2n09]

Yes, I believe in a creator who created everything there is, the "total lack of evidence" as you put it.

Did the Big Bang create itself? To think it did, or attempt explanation sans a timeless casual agent, is philosophically and scientifically dubious.

Given that we all have minds, and that reasons are the "things that minds make", the assumption that there must be a "reason" is a very rational one don't you think?

Are you going to tell me that no assumptions are made in science?

[Bleehdie]

@tr2n09 I think u need to watch better, they also say that there is in an universe an other universe in every electrone there is an universe so the 2 atoms that hit each other are from an other universe.

This is also the anwser to us we can't be alone.

Also if there is an God out there who did made him he also said that is this video.

There can't be an God because if God made earth he did know we did gonna eat that apple so he ruined our lives because he knew it and christians blame the devil.

[bitterbonker]

@tr2n09 - Great call, yo. A lot of people seem to think that the most "scientific" view is to believe that everything came together essentially by accident... that out of infinite universes, inevitably one would randomly have the conditions necessary for life. That is bollux. Doesn't it make more sense that there is something inherent in the pattern of the universe out of which life & consciousness arose? I don't know the nature of God, but scientists who claim to know are fooling themselves...

[mahound9]

At least Google Chrome comes right out and tells you that it's crashing, instead of leaving you hanging. It's like "Aw, SNap! I'm crashing. Shit, sorry..." And somehow you are inclined to forgive it.

[nurbSoldier]

:) @ 2:15. I wonder if what he is doing there corresponds to any of his preferred pastimes?

[gskaloyan]

Who made the bubble maker? The question of our time. But just like numbers stretching to infinity, there is always further regression. Who made the maker of the bubble maker? Who made the maker of the maker of the bubble maker? Etc.

[zapopaul]

good question.. but.. as was once said, " there are turtles all the way down."

[foxyroxytm]

He was so passionate about what he did and so eager to share his knowledge with others and that is why I love him. He makes me want to learn.

[xNeverthought]

I find watching Cosmos, and reading his books and listening to his thoughts and beliefs, makes me want to share it with others. It's the great gift of Carl Sagan that just keeps on giving.

[AlphaCrucis]

But... didn't COBE (and WMAP) determine that the CMB radiation was lumpy, not smooth?

COBE's image was very distorted though, so...

[pimpface3000]

Carlllllllllllllllllllllllllll­lllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

[UnitedjOeY88]

excellent, that is very good

[beenzo]

that was good. i really liked the part when he said that our universe may be an electron.

[2eelShmeal]

Don't worry.. Carl understood his place in time. He knew as do we that we will go to our graves with many unanswered questions and that's O K. It's the process of understanding and the courage to question that is the inspiration. We are fortunate to live in the time of the infancy of space travel. Future generations will look back at our time with a sense wonder and awe at the courage of our explorers.

[JaMoond]

It's unfortunate that Carl Sagan died before we could gain even a slightest clue to the questions we have about this world.

It's laughable that so many people die before they could even attempt to gain any knowledge about this universe and simply pass down every unanswered to God.

[1337Horde]

Thats not laughable, it's one of the greatest tradgedies of the human race, ever. I grieve for those indoctrinated in religion and get insuffient answers to massive questions that now do have real answers discovered by science.

[impowow]

That's what happens when biological machines "intended" for genetic survival attempt to find truth.

[tr2n09]

@1337Horde What answers?

[1337Horde]

@tr2n09 Things like evolution and the big bang

[tr2n09]

@1337Horde Come on these things aren't really answers. For instance, what started the big bang and why, for what ultimate purpose? Science pre-supposes the universe, so what real answers do you think the scientific method can provide? Those who put their faith in science alone are the ones to be grieved for here. Theirs is the narrower view.

[1337Horde]

@tr2n09 You do you assume there is a purpose? And why do you assume there is a 'reason' at all, reasons being things that minds make. I'm guessing you assume there is an intelligent creator behind it all dispite total lack of evidence?
