We Are Star Stuff - Cosmic Poetry

[chype]

Does this mean I can start telling people that my penis was forged inside a star?

[godhelpusall1]

lol I'm in Your Mom. But in all seriousness, this is pretty groovy.

[ilovelani69]

I'm feeling quiet large right about now.

[MoMember88]

"We are a way for the cosmos to know itself."

[YouPickedTheWrongGuy]

No Im sorry Im not a part of the universe. I am in it though. If Im apart of the universe then I am also in Jessica Albas big fat vagina. As far as I could tell when I last checked. Im NOT. yea we may be made of star stuff but we arent star stuff. We are human stuff. If you wanna say we are star suff then say we are Jessica Albas Vagina stuff too since we are supposeldy all connected.. LOL This is all bullshit. I am me. Not a fukin star.

[elspoko]

@YouPickedTheWrongGuy The stupidity of your comment made me want to commit suicide in protest of humanity. Thanks.

[greenguy444]

@YouPickedTheWrongGuy - Wow......we are in the 21st century, and yet people

can still be so flagrantly ignorant of Science, and then enhance their ignorance with crass vulgarity. Suggestion....read a book!

[YouPickedTheWrongGuy]

@greenguy444 Whatever go fuk a star. yea everything is made of what stars are made of. So fukin what. Does a star pay my bills? Does a star get me laid or feedme or give me a shirt or a house to survive? All this bullshit that we are start stuff is lame. WHo fukin cares? Noone. Its vanity. Its like saying Im special cause I have a proton in me and so does the planet Jupiter. ! Duh. Hey How bout this. Ron Jeremy is a dude. I am too. SO Im a rockin porn star? LOL grow up trix r 4 kidz

[stringtheoristmc2]

@YouPickedTheWrongGuy Trix are for kids? What does that have to do with anything? You're not very good at "trolling."

[HopelessInLife1990]

This NEEDS to be translated into every language on Earth.

[blindedby2monkeys]

2 people are made of shit

[wtfd00d08]

inb4 people use that meme, because this is fucking awesome.

[elitefusion86186]

I can't wait for the new Cosmos series, which Dr. Tyson will be hosting. I can't think of a better person to take Carl's place.

[mrlif305]

this truly brings peace into my heart or should I say brain. I love all of this.

[parisruiz1]

i've read the bible, nowhere, and i mean nowhere, will you see/hear something as beautiful Mr. Tysons beautiful words... why have gods when we have men like these.

[yamenhawit]

Unimaginably moving.. Which episode is this from?

[IamBread18]

@yamenhawit Beyond the Big Bang, right at the end of it.

[HectorL360]

Kinda cool? fuck that, its beyond cool.

[Peter1992t]

I think Sagan would prefer the "American" left out of the title. We are all one, after all.

[LucAnderssen]

It almost makes me cry when I, in my ignorancy, to know about that. We are all connected.

[zevex747]

I got here from Babylon 5...

[shadowweapons]

atheist and death do not mix. On your deathbed the spiritual side of life will have you see the truth. first God then us.

[keithrose4227]

@shadowweapons get your religious bullshit out of here.

[scotthendo]

@shadowweapons This is nothing to do with being an atheist. It's called science.

[Dathinkingman]

this is the best version of the video so far. thanks u well done job sir ! :)

[eth6706]

Thumbs up if the atheist debator app sent you here

[Zeykieee]

Science can make a grown man cry by the inconceivable nature of nature.

[DonOfTheInternet]

@Zeykieee <3 Richard Feynman!

[Zeykieee]

@DonOfTheInternet

:P!

[yxrcbszg]

@Zeykieee Damn Right =')

[lllDevilbytheDeedlll]

That was one of the most inspiring, poignant, thoughtful, and beautiful speeches I think I've ever heard. Tyson is an excellent speaker, and you can truly see how passionate he is about his work and the universe in general just in his expressions alone. :)

[ThisSaturatedMind]

Read Walt Whitman and hopefully you will be comforted in a similar way as this.

"I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey work of the

stars"

[misha33314]

I feel like giving someone a big cuddly hug.

[CuteHulu]

fkn hell.. thumbed down by mistake :(

[qcstylee311]

I loved that. Thanks for sharing.



[selearemus]

American astronomer?

WTF Carl Sagan doesn't speak for america

He speaks for EARTH

and why does his place of birth matters?

obviously  the guy who made this video is a patriot

[drmante]

His facial expression is exactly halfway between him having just smoked a cone and being just about to break into passionately singing an african-american jazzy soul track

[impaled9855]

I thought I knew what I wanted to do with my life.. and then I started watching Neil Tyson, Carl Sagan.. and all those brilliant minds.. and suddenly I want to revisit my old dream of becoming an astronomer/physicist..

[addictivebeat]

@impaled9855

i had exactly the same feeling

too bad i am not so smart as all of them

[4yhan]

Seeing how great minds in science express their sense of wonders toward the universe, I am ever so humbled and even saddened by the fact that all my life I have seen the world around me with such little curiosity... I'd give anything to be able to see what Newton saw in a falling apple (apocryphal story? maybe. but it's still way cool), what Einstein saw in a clock tower on his way from work, and what Sagan saw in the night sky.

[Brotramel]

@4yhan Congratulations on your Cosmic Awareness. 

[GrimSoul66]

I wish i could look at the sky at night and see more than one or two stars and an airplane..

[BlueNile123]

From what episode of "The Universe" is this clip?

[ealpmx]

@BlueNile123 It's called "Beyond the Big Bang"

[BlueNile123]

@ealpmx Thank you!

[AbelMagwitch73]

Stop thinking that there MUST be a meaning! Maybe the meaning is 'We are all connected"

[SudanCarib]

its better to be a panthiest

[SaganAppreciationSoc]

@SudanCarib

You mean Scientific Pantheism? Yes, it certainly is the most attractive kind of "spirituality". For lack of a better word.

[inretorisk]

Some claim that life is meaningless. Perhaps they are wrong after all.

[hbknutjack]

@inretorisk We are a way for the comos to know itself.... How's that for meaning?

[dsnoman24]

Amazing when you think about it.

[Kurruption818]

beautiful...gives me peace of mind.

[Entertainmentwf]

This reminds me of what I call the beauty in science. My vision of when I work on my theories in mathematics. Just that feeling of elegance but complexity at the same time :).

[Gabebro1]

Grow up blessedvic, ....fairy tales are for kids.

[kkkmiloduke]

excuse me man do u have this video in spanish or with subtitles?

[Gabebro1]

Sorry, not at this time. I  have gotten a few request for Spanish subtitles, so maybe I will add them and upload it. We'll see.

[ealpmx]

@kkkmiloduke I do have it, email me: ealpmx @ ptovta.net

[DarthHuru]

Then humans said, "Let there be god" and there was god. And they saw how good it was. And they praised him, and worshipped him. And they lived in constant fear of his anger.

[dmguitarist99]

I love that

that should be a bumper sticker

[CrazzedShinobi]

@DarthHuru yes that shows that the views of god are created by humans who need something to believe in...to hold on to. he may not nessisaraly exsist physicly but mentally and thats what makes it spiritual for some and not others

[whiteliketar]

@DarthHuru and then they got a little education and decided there was no God and created their own God and sent millions to die in ovens in Gemany and before that slaughtered in the name of reason in the French revolution and then slaughtered by the millions in russia and just a little less in Cambodia where skulls are piled high and the hundreds of millions slaughtered in the womb by the atheist doctor who was taught that he evovled from a slimy piece of goo in that atheistic biology class.

[DarthHuru]

@whiteliketar so religiuos people dont go to wars ? like crusades ? like whole medieval ages? like burning witches ? like norhter ireland ? it doesn;t matter if you belive in god or not, humans will be always the same, the only difference is how you explain why you kill....

[whiteliketar]

@DarthHuru there are always wars going on because the nature of man is sinful just as the as the good Book says - when those so called christians were going to war - were they obeying Christ or disobeying the prince of peace? or perchance you don't know what Christ stood for. whoesale slaughter and atheism obeys itself pretty much.

[DarthHuru]

@whiteliketar by stating that you say that no atheist can be a good man, that beeing far from god he will be always sinful. And i've met many atheist that were better people that many christians.

[whiteliketar]

@DarthHuru everyone has a measure of goodness - who can deny that? so how can we measure this goodness? an atheist is forced to invent his own yardstick which can keep changing accroding to the weather so to speak - However Christ came to expose the hypocrisy behind outward expressions of goodness. it's like having a cream shirt and thinking it is white until a blindlingly white ivory shirt is placed next to it. Christ had the most trouble with religious people.

[IEtherianSoul9]

@whiteliketar Christianity was basically taken from Ancient Egyptian ideologies! There are so many parallels present. Have you read the "Pyramid Texts" or the "Book of the Dead"? There have been over hundreds of different religions in the history of mankind, so what makes Christianity more right than another?

[whiteliketar]

@IEtherianSoul9 ha ha - so the disciples were now scholars of egyptian culture - try balancing youtr bias with what Christian scholars and historians have to say and even what secualr historians have to say about the life of Christ - perhaps the propaganda that you have your mind will at least be challenged critically. A man cannot be convinced against his will so you might have a problem with the truth.

[kenmabie]

@DarthHuru

"and on the eighth day man said "let there be god!, for i am fearful and superstitious" genisis 1:3.5 ... the part the didnt want anyone to read from the bible... (nah its not really in there but ... it should be... you can honestly say that man created god when it turns out that god hates all the same things you do ...

"In lak'Ech A'La K'in" - we are all stardust looking at the stars

[draconizza]

Science is so beautiful

[DarthHuru]

"science is interesting, and if you dont agree, you can fuck off" :D

[JoeBrenan]

@draconizza The truth is always more beautiful than lies.

[CheddarBob39]

@draconizza

Nerd.

[1234doawee]

@draconizza your word are beautiful

[Odonus2]

I love the piano that begins at 0:44.

It makes it all so much more emotional.

It made my eyes watery.

More stuff like this should be done.

Having a scientist talk emotionally, like Sagan or Tyson or Carolyn Porco (not to mention scientits from Biology like Dawkins and E.O.Wilson), and have a piano playing in the back round.

It makes it all so much more powerful!

[SaganAppreciationSoc]

I like the reference to Carl.  Of course. :-)

[henaso]

i saw that on the history channel. it was so beautiful
