Imagine condensing the universe's 13.7 billion-year existence into a 12-month "Cosmic Calendar." If the universe began on Jan. 1, our solar system was formed on Sept. 1, and the first forms of life arose on Earth on Sept. 21. This means the human species made its appearance after 10 p.m. on the last day of the year. Humans have been around for 2 hours in this Cosmic Calender, and if we act accordingly we may survive a few more hours.
Does anyone else think the Scientology recruitment video has the same soundtrack? That background music really sounds like something a hypnotist would play in the background when putting someone under. That combined with ol' crazy eyes in the beginning really made me feel like I was being brainwashed.
I can't wait for the "second coming" of Cosmos (featuring Neil deGrasse Tyson as the host). Unlike other claimed "second comings" this one WILL happen (2013) and it WILL "save" the minds of millions of people around the world, just as the first Cosmos did. :-)
weather we will be able to find the answers of ..these ..mysterious questions like ..how we came in existence or when its all goin to end... but seeing this makes me feel so special and precious.... untill we find any other civilization in the cosmos.. we are still unique
I grew up with these TV series when they were first aired, so I'm one of the Sagan generation, so to speak. He explains his POV so eloquently that he left a lifetime mark in me as a writer. Ever since, I can't avoid the burning questions only because there are no answers... just yet. I keep on asking and seeking, hoping to contribute in finding them, one after another. Great show!
Think that If you remove the impedement and destruction of scientific knowledge throughout the ages and instead had a humankind in harmony working together to understand the universe. Where would we be today? For thousands of years people working to reach certain goals, how much we would have accomplished? I find it sickening to think that we may destroy ourselves before we find the answers to our questions. I hate to say it, but mankind really is stupid.
This is nothing short of epic. I'm gutted that I'm too young to remember him when he was alive but grateful to him for inspiring the people that inspire me.
Ankle deep? Seriously? At this point, we're still only feeling the breeze coming off the ocean. If we reach another solar system, the water will be lapping at our big toe. We'd have to at least reach the Andromeda Galaxy to be ankle deep. And probably not even then!
Thank you for posting the hole episode here.This video is really an important thing for humankind..
I think everybody should watch this.. It opens the mind, sou we can get out of our little world (daily activities) and think about the big picture, how delicate is our planet, how bad we can screw our home (Earth) if we don't pay attention to the consequences of what we do..R.I.P Mr. Sagan.I'm just 22 but I do understand the greatness of the information you've shared with us.Thank for existing.

The knowledge Cosmos & Carl taught us was nothing new at the time but it was how he most beautifully articulated this through this incredible series, his charisma & intelligence, the music of Vangelis. This man changed my perception of the world that I'm & all of you are part of. We don't need a God so long as we have men of such greatness walking among us.
Well, I don't know about calling the asteroid 'belt' "the reefs and shallows" of the Solar System. You could pass straight through it and not see a thing as it's mostly empty space. It's not even a 'belt'!
The 'Asteroid Area' or 'Asteroid Zone' is a better way of thinking of it.
I loved, rather, we all, loved Carl Sagan for the Cosmos series and and his numerous appearances on TV. He drew us into his world of fascinating science and ideas. We were captivated by this passionate intelligent man who loved to talk about the universe and "Billions and Billions" of stars! He made science COOL! He was the best kind of teacher, leaving you wanting more. Carl, I think of you now on another adventure into your "star stuff," yes, our time on this planet is only a blink of the eye

Oh yeah, happy birthday Carl Sagan! A couple of days late but hey ho! (9th November)... Isaac Asimov, Carl Sagan and Arthur C. Clarke are my favourite Sci-fi / sci-fact authors...
Shit, its 2am and i really want to watch another one.
Coming from England we never had Carl Segan, unfortunately.
We had the wonderful David Attenborough opening our eyes for us, showing us the wonders of life on Earth.

@OrderoftheWhiteHand Not quite. But when you watch Brian Cox's programmes, you can see the influence of Sagan's presentation of Cosmos. He almost says "billions" the same way...
I remember watching this for the first time when I was 11. The space voyage sequence during the first half of this episode left me wide-eyed and slackjawed with wonder. My first life-changing epiphany. Thanks for posting!
@erixmix they're not. Koch Entertainment was a record label and TV distribution company founded by a guy in Austria, and it's not affiliated with the Koch Bros. in any way.
I really like these series apart from the blab about extraterrestrial life. It's pointless to speculate until we find evidence pointing us in that direction.
My first experience of Cosmos consisted of extracts on the car radio, in a programme marking some anniversary or other. That music started, Carl Sagan spoke, and waiting in a car-park became a spiritual experience.
Puff29646 , You contradict yourself. If you are not even half aware of what there is....how come you are so sure about god? May be you just persuaded yourself or created an image for yourself of this Jewish dude and stick to it. You got addicted. And its very hard to get rid of some addiction.
@mattfasl She was a VERY gorgeous woman 30 odd years ago! Of course, she's still a very pretty lady... nice to know she's an advocate of the legalisation of marijuana too, that's a big plus in my book! She likes a toke every now and then it seems... =O)
i think science made bigger strides during the cold war as it was well funded - just look at the great soviet scientists and mathematicians then vs now - and the world is still hostage to military might just now it is only america's military that does the bullying.
that said cosmos is my all time favourite tv show thanks fo putting it on youtube
Mystery/wonder and some man-made legends and gossipy chats around the camp fire are all we have on the way to the crematorium... Hopefully you all enjoyed the ride while it lasted! :)
By the way, please do NOT confuse me with these clowns calling themselves Christians! I find most so called "Christians" are the most vile wicked hypocrites on Earth! "Woe to you, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are!" (Matt 23:15) I suggest looking up the "Essenes" if they want to know the true teachings of Christ.
@Puff29646 I think the concept of "God" got warped over time from meaning "the natural order of things" (as many, many other religions view god(s)) to that "personal relationship with a conscious deity" shit we now have in Christianity.
Think about it in the context of "the nature of the universe becomes self-evident through knowledge/wisdom" or "it is all that there is, ever was, or ever will be" and it seems to exactly correlate to the scientific discoveries we're making at this very moment.
When men by wisdom come to the revelation that God is everything everywhere at all times (the universe itself) the existence of God becomes "self evident". My Father is all that there is... ever was... or ever will be!!! However, in order to comprehend this you have to use more than the 6% of your consciousness. Which seems to be the standard. lol!!! That means man is not even HALF AWARE of what all there is... Which is known as REALITY!!! lol
lol. noobs believing a deductive argument will make the smartz. "Do not believe the Religion/atheists/homophobes/discostrobes, for it/they will make you unable to properly seal an argument by means of logic". There is no truth in logic, as there is no truth in konfucianism, as there is no truth in christianity - unless you yourself find the truth, the belief, the will to struggle. There is a place for religion in science. Maybe its for you, maybe it isn't. regardless we are all fools.
argueing about your religion n my religion should be honored as guiness world record of the most time wasting things to do. Quit it, guys. you are not going to prove or win anything. After all, who cares what the hell you think, you believe? people only care about what you can do for others.
Why do people argue about religion and social ideology in the comments section of a video on science? Ugh, I wonder if there's a userscript that'll filter that shit out.
Mr. Sagan was a true human w/ a brain & was not afraid of using it to question beyond what has been forced onto him by all others. He was truly courageous & had a love for humanity & mother earth like no other of his time! So sad he passed early but as he would tell everyone, it IS the circle of life. Thank-you, kind sir, for giving hope to us & future generations. I think he would very sad to see the world today as it is today & how we treat each other. RIP.
,,I took nearly 2000 years for those facts to be re-discovered''... It so sad to realize how much ignorance and delusion has plagued humanity... Who know how many more facts, that we havent discovered, were destroyed...
so many comments, great that we have this form of communication, and able to 'see' these wonderful pictures, listen to a persons theory. Its really all about what each and every one of us 'thinks @ FEELS' inside. We do not have to compare, make fun of others thoughts. Just enjoy the opportunity to learn something new, and experience it for YOURSELF, who cares what others think, that make you go off in self-rightteous blah blah blah..... Where does that come from??
0:35:00 there is something I dont understand though... How did the ancients rule out the possibility that the sun might have been at a closer distance than it actually is, so that it might have cast a shadow from a different angle on a flat surface?
it was man who made god, who endowed god with the body of a man, the voice of a man, who dressed him in the earthly garments of a man. if a workhorse or lion or unyoked ox had eyes to paint, hands to sculpt, had voice to sing its tribal song, the horse would paint god as a horse, the lion would sculpt a lion god, the ox would sing a divinity of oxen. -xenophanes-
honor father and mother - because the ancient people knew about life on other planets and wanted their children to be able to grow successfully. However because they couldn't make graven images or use alien tools, they could only pass this info on by word of mouth.
thou shall not murder - war, war could end everything
thou shall not commit adultery - the spread of disease and jealousy of betrayal
In the many time the bible has changed languages, the original context was lost. God is love. We need Love to join the heavens or perish. If you open your mind you will realize heaven means space and hell is the death of our species by our own means. We all need to come together as one before we can ever work together to leave this earth. The commandments are ways humans can destroy ourselves and crush any hope of ever achieving perfection.
I like the way Carl makes no bones about the continuity of human knowledge right the way through history. The same dark forces that put the earth at the center of the universe, and kings and popes next to god, prior to the 'renaissance', are responsible for propagating the myth that our abstract understanding of the cosmos is a modern phenomenon. It's not so much Carl's courage to dream that made the establishment sneer, but his heroic disregard for a very old, and very secretive control system.
I could be wrong, but the rocks out at sea at the beginning of this episode look remarkably similar to those in the final scene of Stephen Spielberg's 'The Goonies'.
Well.. . yet another Jew who became a confused Agnostic - or should I say a closet Aethist (which is what Agnostics are). Honestly speaking I'm not trying to put Sagan down, but I'm sad that he died searching for answers yet never really knowing God. . . a very, very sad tragedy.
@massoccer69 - Agnostics are nothing but wishy-washy Aethists looking for a "sign" - and Jesus said that "a wicked generation seeks a wonderous sign".
God does exist and the Universe which Carl Sagan search thru testifies to that - The universe and the things within it are not a result of a mere chance but a well-designed creation.
@zEropoint68 - sorry but I disagree. Considering his Jewish roots, of all the people involved in cosmology he should have been well educated in obedience to God. I cannot really look inside his head nor will I claim to know him personally, but I based on what I have seen I will venture to say that he chose the wide road as opposed to the narrow road.
@konman001 i dont mind your religious views, because, the idea of God is ,alas, a dying concept. Religions impact and hold on humanity is weakning and leaving. Religion is fighting an uphill battle to keep foot on humanities mountain of knowledge and now the wind of reason is picking up...it will fall and i cant fucking wait .
@ColdGrass87 - Humanists will fall on their face and will end up watching their kids learn to hate them and become easily manipulated socialist clones thanks to their parents humanist teaching. Who knows, maybe like the red-book wielding teens of the 60s in china, they will turn AGAINST their own parents and teachers and execute them. Don't be surprised when your own kids who lack any shred of moral values turn on you someday - all in the name of a better "humanist" world.
@gaguy1967 its true that other belief systems will replace many current mainstream religions. but enviromentalism is better than most others. I still belive that , with time religious ideologies will disapear.
@ColdGrass87 No people always need something to believe in. God, Communism, Humanism something. So far Atheism has killed more people than all religion combined. Also youre missing out on how fast Christianity is spreading in Africa and Evangelism in South America.
@gaguy1967 You seem to mix ideology and religion. all religions are ideologies but not all ideologies are religions. Of course ppl will belive inmany things, but god wont be one of them. Africans are mostly uneducated, so its fitting for christianity to spread. They are so blinded that they dont even realize that Christianity (and other religions) destroyed there culture and corrupted there people and even enslaved them. Brainwashing the weak minded is religions forte.
@gaguy1967 Religions are dangerous ,history has proven this, read up on what happened to the great library of alexandria and realize that dogmatic and childish fear and ignorance has set humanity back 1000s of years.
@gaguy1967 hitler alone killed 50 to 70 mil people which is way over the combined no of people killed by stalin, mao or pol pot. also none of them killed in the name of athiesm only
stalin killed some couple of thosand clergymen because they were trying to destroy the country and his policies which ultimately resulted in equality for women, employment of millions and helped the soviet union to become a 1st world country
mao and pol pot never dicriminated between believer or non believer
@sagar246246 Hitler ddint kill that many. WW2 in all theatres was about 50m killed. But you cant blame Hitler for the tems of millions who died in Asia. The USSR was never a first world country and in the 1930s Stalin killed about 20-25m people. Additionally Lenin killed millions in the 1920s through starvation. During the Great Leap Forward, Mao killed about 10-20 million. Good to see youre a communist apologist
@gaguy1967 wow talk about blowing the shit about proportion. youre making up facts none of them killed that many people. and even they did they didnt killed people in the athiesm like you said. religion on the other hand has killed millions in the name of religion. you are a fine example of religious bigots who put up wrong facts and straw man fallacies just to make up of your insecurities regarding religion and what people have done in the name of religion. maybe you are also against evolution
@sagar246246 Ahhh yes they did kill that many people. I am not religious at all. While I dont defend religion, you are defending communism and collectivism. In the 20th century, communism has killed more people than all other ideologies combined. None of my facts are wrong. All are provably right.
No where have I claimed I am religious or defended religion. Youre the bigot because you assume that because I correctly point of that communism is more evil than religion, I must be religious
@gaguy1967 im not defending communism im actually against it. im only saying that they did not did this in the name of atheism. no one has ever killed someone in the name of atheism cause its just plain stupid.
Tthe arguments which you are putting up are similar to those of religious people so i assumed you are one. i may be wrong on assuming it but the rest of my arguments and facts are completely valid.
@AtheistEvolution Name one religious country that was communist, or one communist country that was officially religious. Religion was always put down by the communist authorities like in Poland
@gaguy1967 Communism has nothing to do with religion. They are mutually exclusive. Countries aren't religious, people are. Cuba however, has not done away with religion. They even allowed the Pope to visit its overwhelmingly Catholic citizens.
@AtheistEvolution They are mutually exclusive. In Latin America due to the population's Catholicism, there is something called Liberation Theology. Pope John Paul denounced it. The Soviets and Mao prohibited religion. The only religion allowed was the state
@gaguy1967 Do some research, a LOT of people wanted to leave. Besides, not allowing religion does not make it atheist. Religion is an institution, and they didn't want an ideology to threaten the nationalism ideology that they were trying to entrench. They weren't trying to kill religion so much as bolster their nationalism. You are conflating topics.
@gaguy1967 No it's not. It makes it secular. It can make it nationalist, it can make it communist, it can make it many things. But you can't MAKE a country not believe. You can make it not openly practice something, which would be secular, but you can't make it not BELIEVE something, which would make it atheist.
Imagine condensing the universe's 13.7 billion-year existence into a 12-month "Cosmic Calendar." If the universe began on Jan. 1, our solar system was formed on Sept. 1, and the first forms of life arose on Earth on Sept. 21.

beyond our world to where time is slow -
discover new enlightened spheres,
I long to see that which is not here.

My first experience of Cosmos consisted of extracts on the car radio, in a programme marking some anniversary or other. That music started, Carl Sagan spoke, and waiting in a car-park became a spiritual experience.

You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are!" (Matt 23:15) I suggest looking up the "Essenes" if they want to know the true teachings of Christ.

@Puff29646 I think the concept of "God" got warped over time from meaning "the natural order of things" (as many, many other religions view god(s)) to that "personal relationship with a conscious deity" shit we now have in Christianity.
Think about it in the context of "the nature of the universe becomes self-evident through knowledge/wisdom" or "it is all that there is, ever was, or ever will be" and it seems to exactly correlate to the scientific discoveries we're making at this very moment.
Magmacano 5 months ago
When men by wisdom come to the revelation that God is everything everywhere at all times (the universe itself) the existence of God becomes "self evident". My Father is all that there is... ever was... or ever will be!!! However, in order to comprehend this you have to use more than the 6% of your consciousness. Which seems to be the standard. lol!!! That means man is not even HALF AWARE of what all there is... Which is known as REALITY!!! lol

There is no truth in logic, as there is no truth in konfucianism, as there is no truth in christianity - unless you yourself find the truth, the belief, the will to struggle. There is a place for religion in science. Maybe its for you, maybe it isn't. regardless we are all fools.

Thank-you, kind sir, for giving hope to us & future generations. I think he would very sad to see the world today as it is today & how we treat each other. RIP.

it was man who made god, who endowed god with the body of a man, the voice of a man, who dressed him in the earthly garments of a man. if a workhorse or lion or unyoked ox had eyes to paint, hands to sculpt, had voice to sing its tribal song, the horse would paint god as a horse, the lion would sculpt a lion god, the ox would sing a divinity of oxen. -xenophanes-

Thou shall not not make any graven image of the heaven above or below = Don't copy extra terrestrial tech, we must achieve this on our own.
thou shall not worship idols - stop wanting to be like celebrities
thou shall not use the lords name in vain - perhaps so our species would take the bible seriously and never talk bad about it.
keep the Sabbath holy - a day people get together for the greater good.
no other god - we must not worship deities, cults, or magic

In the many time the bible has changed languages, the original context was lost. God is love. We need Love to join the heavens or perish. If you open your mind you will realize heaven means space and hell is the death of our species by our own means. We all need to come together as one before we can ever work together to leave this earth. The commandments are ways humans can destroy ourselves and crush any hope of ever achieving perfection.

I like the way Carl makes no bones about the continuity of human knowledge right the way through history. The same dark forces that put the earth at the center of the universe, and kings and popes next to god, prior to the 'renaissance', are responsible for propagating the myth that our abstract understanding of the cosmos is a modern phenomenon. It's not so much Carl's courage to dream that made the establishment sneer, but his heroic disregard for a very old, and very secretive control system.

Well.. . yet another Jew who became a confused Agnostic - or should I say a closet Aethist (which is what Agnostics are). Honestly speaking I'm not trying to put Sagan down, but I'm sad that he died searching for answers yet never really knowing God. . . a very, very sad tragedy.

@massoccer69 - Agnostics are nothing but wishy-washy Aethists looking for a "sign" - and Jesus said that "a wicked generation seeks a wonderous sign".
God does exist and the Universe which Carl Sagan search thru testifies to that - The universe and the things within it are not a result of a mere chance but a well-designed creation.
