I believe every living human on this planet should watch this whole series in school. Not only for it's highly educational information and it's tendency to capture the audience but also to help understand what it means to be human and that we're all on this planet. It unites us.
Why coulden't we watch this serie in the educational program in school?.
@TheScorpionBB There's a new cosmos called "Cosmos: A Spacetime-Odyssey" being hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson that's coming out in Spring 2013 on FOX. I've heard rumors that it may be playing in IMAX but I don't know if it's true.
I wish he could have known how big the Internet would have gotten, how many people would see him and hear his voice for 100's of years to come and how for as long as there are people on the 'Pale Blue Dot' they will speak of a man so special it almost makes you want to believe in an afterlife so you could meet him, R.I.P Carl Sagan, we will never forget you x.
@R5d4d2 It's Sagan.. If he doesn't sit with you and move your soul something special, well then honestly you just don't understand, which I know you do, cuz the goosebumps. He was a very special man, and should really be heard by everyone on this planet.
Science is not perfect its often misused its only a tool but its the best tool we have... self correcting... ever changing.... applicable to everything.... with this tool we vanquish the impossible <3 Carl Sagan
I personally broke down completely at the "We are a way for the Cosmos to know itself."-line. I have yet to hear, read, or see a single religious verse, let alone an entire ideology, that matches the beauty and sincerity of that single sentence.
@Sharagran He's so moving. This is what he wanted though, his knowledge to be passed on to us, for US to change things, it's time we do right by this planet and find our way in this huge universe. I can listen to Sagan everyday. It gets sad sometimes that we don't have thinkers like this anymore, but it inspires, and that it really should.
Carl Sagan will always be my favorite scientist. If I could have one wish fulfilled, it would be that more of the general public thought like he did; not love, money, or anything personal, just a more curious and skeptical populace, for the benefit of all humanity and the species we share the planet with. Too much are people today distracted by what isn't real, oblivious to the wonders and discoveries of science, of perceptible reality. This video brought tears to my eyes, it's beautiful.
Carl Sagan - "Our collective free time needs to shift as much as possible to education. Whether you're a young student or finished school long ago, get out to the library whenever you can and work hard to learn everything you can about this world. Each individual and society will benefit from being able to solve more problems and make better decisions. Education is an amazing discovery process that repays you endlessly."
The Human race is sort of like the movie The Hangover. We woke up millions of years ago after a party that started with a bang, and now we're trying to figure out what the fuck happened last night.
@CallumCGLP: Your videos make the world a better place by providing us not only with amazing information but also with a poetic and moving delivery. Thanks.
I want to make subtitles for this video in portuguese and then upload the video with the subtitles later. How can I do this? Does anybody know? And of course, if you let me to do it.
@LIFEofCAM The problem is that this *isn't* what is taught in schools. Kids are indoctrinated into conformity, instead of taught to think about and criticise what they're being taught.

Only thing I do not like about this clip was at 3:10 when he said the molecules arose quite by accident. There is no evidence that it arose by accident. He should have never brought his philosophical views of how life arouse by accident.
@theyasin33 Its not a Philosophical view its stating a fact, its too easy to insert god into the areas we aren't sure about, but time and time again we find that natural processes debunk any ideas about gods and devils and holes with which the flames can be seen. Currently we are attempting to recreate these conditions in a lab with exciting results, it seems that life can arise on its own and to be honest I don't see a reason why it can't. Or any proof whatsoever for the contrary.
@mrmong Who said anything about God?? I haven't said anything whatsoever about God! This is what I mean about asserting dogmatic views of how life arose. And its NOT a fact that life rose accidentally! There is NO evidence of that!
@theyasin33 What is an accident? A car crash? Human language often causes meaningless problems, like the one here. What is meant in such cases is chance...something opposed to determined. That it might easily not have happened, like it didn't on Mercury for example. So if accident implies purposeless chance events, what's the opposite? That something is supposed to, purposefully, happen. Either things are made to happen ("god") or things just happen ("chance"). Do you have a 3rd alternative?
You just committed a logical fallacy, a dichotomy. Before trying to start an argument learn how to refute an argument logically and do not use fallacies. When u do, then I will have a civilized discussion with you.
@theyasin33 It's ok. I don't believe you that I committed a logical fallacy. And since you can't show me where, I'm sure you can't actually explain it either. But I'm glad you're not actually responding, not having a discussion with me, since you seem to be a standard asshole, here to pump up your ego...
Which is, as every intellectual of the highest calibre knows, a most civilized endeavour. I bid you farewell my lord, the one to whom people are unworthy to respond. I shall retreat and grovel.
@badblueman "Either things are made to happen ("god") or things just happen ("chance")" , that is the logical fallacy you committed, to be specific you committed a dichotomy. And no I am not here to pump my ego, I can care less about my ego, I am here to learn! And all I said was that there is no credible evidence of how life arose accidentally .. There are many hypothesis of how life began but none carry enough merit.
@theyasin33 My main point was about the use of "accident" and why a show for laymen would use it. Now of course we don't know whether our origins were "guided" or not (+ other possibilities). But here come the philosophical discussions on what is or isn't acceptable "in science". The universe might've been created 4 minutes ago, but we let Sagan say the universe is billions of years old anyway. With that in mind, is abiogenesis (accident) not to be mentioned in the same fashion? Why not?
@badblueman I agree with up to the point where you said," The universe might've been created 4 minutes ago, but we let Sagan say the universe is billions of years old anyway. " I dont know if you are trying to play semantics with words or what because that idea is ludicrous. Be more specific with the question because I dont understand what you are trying to say. Inbox me..
@UjioSatashi I have, I am majoring in Physics and Mathematics, and trying to get a minor in biology. That inference of how life rose accidentally is a hypothesis! There is no credible evidence to prove its accuracy, which is why its a philosophical view.
When I am very old... I will look back into the past... I will wonder about the decades of our space faring infancy and... I will remember the Man who made me look to the stars. He put tears in my eyes, a smile on my face, and joy in my life.
I wish I knew of some way to download this and Mirror it. It's so much more epic than what any holy book tells of our universe's origin. I wish we had the technology to download Carl Sagan's brain into a computer to continue teaching us.
damn if we could combine all the number of views of all carl sagan videos that callium made to the one tenth the number of views of justin bieber 's one song, just absurd and sad.
@ZoldierrZzz Yep. He wrote: "Humans — who enslave, castrate, experiment on, and fillet other animals — have had an understandable penchant for pretending animals do not feel pain. A sharp distinction between humans and 'animals' is essential if we are to bend them to our will, make them work for us, wear them, eat them — without any disquieting tinges of guilt or regret. It is unseemly of us, who often behave so unfeelingly toward other animals, to contend that only humans can suffer."
@letism I love Carl, but I am fairly certain that animals feel all those things that humans feel, perhaps more, and I still have no guilty conscience over eating them. That's nature. Animals converting energy into other forms of energy and using it to survive.
Sit here in tears, knowing very well that when all of us understands Carl's message, peace will reign for an eternity within the human species, cherishing our home, and showing every living being the respect life deserves. Science will eventually set us free....
Carl Sagan was a true shining light for our world. I love the videos, I love the message, please keep them coming. They are truly awe-inspiring and very appreciated!
"Its only sacred truth is that there are no sacred truths, arguments from authority are worthless. All assumptions must be critically examined. What ever is inconsistent with the facts no matter how fond if it we are, must be discarded or revised. Science is not perfect, its often misused, its only a tool, but its the best tool we have, ever changing, applicable to everything, with this tool we vanquish the impossible."- Carl Sagan
"One day among these natural experiments a molecule arose that quiet by accident was able to make crude copies of itself."
Can someone help me understand how this is possible? Is there any real solid theories on this? I understand simple protein life forms and replicating cells, but how do molecules somehow arrange so that 'they' choose to make copies of themselves?

@supergnar97 There are a few different theories on the matter; although, the RNA world hypothisis seems most compelling, much ground has been made in this field. .wired.com/wiredscience/2009/05/ribonucleotides/
@supergnar97 It's not really anything "choosing" to copy itself, but rather something that happens in order to reduce free energy. For instance, a lipid bubble as it expands will become more unstable as its surface area to volume ratio decreases, until it splits into two and becomes stable again.
May your legacy continue on Carl Sagan…let your words enter the minds and the hearts of our fellow man…let it be known that the mysteries and the perplexity of our universe is an never ending desire to be understood and explored.
@blowersho I do! Though the inclusion of any Toronto imagery is incidental, as I try to ensure my chauvinisms are in check when representing Carl's views in these videos.
@callumCGLP Right on! We live in the same city. You do amazing work, I always look forward to your videos. Keep making them, somewhere Carl is dancing with the cosmos and smiling at you.
@callumCGLP And you are majoring in accounting? Why does a person who takes interest in such deep and meaningful videos major in such a mundane and lifeless subject? No offense, I'm studying the same thing.
@3510211 None taken. My career path is the result of numerous adaptations to rapidly-changing circumstances. I didn't take an interest in science until I was in my 20s, when I discovered Carl Sagan. So, unless someone out there funded my starting-over to study physics, I couldn't possibly afford to change career paths. In the end, however, I find accounting to be quite interesting, and look forward to joining the profession. When you study auditing, I think your opinion will change.
@JayDee98765 Toronto is a wonderful city. I've lived here my entire life, so I may be biased - but compared to other cities of similar size in North America, it is among the cleanest and most crime-free. It is certainly a great place to settle, and I don't plan on going anywhere.
@callumCGLP I think i'll probably move there once i've finished my degree :) sounds exactly like what i'd want. I have some family up there, and they confirm the same pretty much, and I did travel there for two weeks aaaaaages ago, was nice to see kids could play out in the street late into the evening, certainly did seem crime free. Thanks :) oh and also, awesome videos! Thank you very much for them.
@callumCGLP this is the music from Brian Cox's "wonders of the universe" :D i love you! thank you so much for this beautiful piece of work. a true masterpiece. Carl Sagan was a beautiful man and our species will miss him dearly. R.I.P. Mr. Sagan <3
@callumCGLP Did you need any special permission for this wonderful series? You'd think the powers that be would support non-profit free thought. I'm thinking of doing an Alan Watts series that's similar to your great tribute and i'm wondering if you've run into a lot of copyright nonsense.
the line "These are the some of the things Hydrogen atoms do, given 15 billion years of Cosmic Evolution" just gave me chills.. kudos on creating such a brilliant video! :)
However the universe began, it is here now, and we are alive in it. As long as we are curious, we will endeavor to develop ways to help us understand it.
@hrd2imagin how did it happen? how do they know that galaxies are slowly going farther in the cosmos? have they seen the whole universe? so you think there was just a single ball that suddenly exploded and created matter from explosions of the first stars? what caused the first cause? so much left unexplained and i understand that... i know my belief is not required for this theory to happen, either way it is just a theory, and i think einstein believed in this theory when he conceptualized it.
@gleefanatic2011 First, we have a very good understanding of these questions, and robust evidence to support that understanding. The unexplained questions cannot be attributed to a deity, as such an argument is a logical fallacy (god-of-the-gaps). There are a great many things that we once attributed to god for this reason, but then we came to understand them through science. The same will eventually happen with these unexplained questions. The universe is not obliged to appease your feelings.
@gleefanatic2011 Moreover, you don't seem to understand the scientific term "theory". In science, a theory is supported by a compelling and substantial amount of evidence - this is not the same as the layman's definition of "theory". I also don't understand what you are referring to when you say "i think einstein believed in this theory" - to which theory are you referring?
@callumCGLP by theory i mean a system of ideas which is intended to explain something. i was referring to einstein's big bang theory, which stemmed from his theory of relativity.

I watched this when i was high,
& it made me cry.
If only every human, and every indoctrinated fool
could understand the power of science,
as truth's only tool.
Love sagan, thankyou so much CallumCGLP

When I am very old... I will look back into the past... I will wonder about the decades of our space faring infancy and... I will remember the Man who made me look to the stars. He put tears in my eyes, a smile on my face, and joy in my life.

I wish I knew of some way to download this and Mirror it. It's so much more epic than what any holy book tells of our universe's origin. I wish we had the technology to download Carl Sagan's brain into a computer to continue teaching us.

That and stop killing animals, which Carl Sagan was very much against.
ZoldierrZzz 8 months ago
@ZoldierrZzz Yep. He wrote: "Humans — who enslave, castrate, experiment on, and fillet other animals — have had an understandable penchant for pretending animals do not feel pain. A sharp distinction between humans and 'animals' is essential if we are to bend them to our will, make them work for us, wear them, eat them — without any disquieting tinges of guilt or regret. It is unseemly of us, who often behave so unfeelingly toward other animals, to contend that only humans can suffer."

@letism I love Carl, but I am fairly certain that animals feel all those things that humans feel, perhaps more, and I still have no guilty conscience over eating them. That's nature. Animals converting energy into other forms of energy and using it to survive.

Sit here in tears, knowing very well that when all of us understands Carl's message, peace will reign for an eternity within the human species, cherishing our home, and showing every living being the respect life deserves. Science will eventually set us free....

"Its only sacred truth is that there are no sacred truths, arguments from authority are worthless. All assumptions must be critically examined. What ever is inconsistent with the facts no matter how fond if it we are, must be discarded or revised. Science is not perfect, its often misused, its only a tool, but its the best tool we have, ever changing, applicable to everything, with this tool we vanquish the impossible."- Carl Sagan

"One day among these natural experiments a molecule arose that quiet by accident was able to make crude copies of itself."
Can someone help me understand how this is possible? Is there any real solid theories on this? I understand simple protein life forms and replicating cells, but how do molecules somehow arrange so that 'they' choose to make copies of themselves?

@supergnar97 There are a few different theories on the matter; although, the RNA world hypothisis seems most compelling, much ground has been made in this field. .wired.com/wiredscience/2009/05/ribonucleotides/
percyth11 9 months ago
@supergnar97 It's not really anything "choosing" to copy itself, but rather something that happens in order to reduce free energy. For instance, a lipid bubble as it expands will become more unstable as its surface area to volume ratio decreases, until it splits into two and becomes stable again.

@callumCGLP- Do you live in Toronto, I often see images from the city in your videos?
blowersho 9 months ago 2
@blowersho I do! Though the inclusion of any Toronto imagery is incidental, as I try to ensure my chauvinisms are in check when representing Carl's views in these videos.
callumCGLP 9 months ago 29
@callumCGLP Right on! We live in the same city. You do amazing work, I always look forward to your videos. Keep making them, somewhere Carl is dancing with the cosmos and smiling at you.

@callumCGLP And you are majoring in accounting? Why does a person who takes interest in such deep and meaningful videos major in such a mundane and lifeless subject? No offense, I'm studying the same thing.
3510211 9 months ago
@3510211 None taken. My career path is the result of numerous adaptations to rapidly-changing circumstances. I didn't take an interest in science until I was in my 20s, when I discovered Carl Sagan. So, unless someone out there funded my starting-over to study physics, I couldn't possibly afford to change career paths. In the end, however, I find accounting to be quite interesting, and look forward to joining the profession. When you study auditing, I think your opinion will change.

@callumCGLP In your opinion, how is Toronto? As in, is it a place to settle? I'm considering it. Thank you in advance.
JayDee98765 9 months ago
@JayDee98765 Toronto is a wonderful city. I've lived here my entire life, so I may be biased - but compared to other cities of similar size in North America, it is among the cleanest and most crime-free. It is certainly a great place to settle, and I don't plan on going anywhere.
callumCGLP 8 months ago
@callumCGLP I think i'll probably move there once i've finished my degree :) sounds exactly like what i'd want. I have some family up there, and they confirm the same pretty much, and I did travel there for two weeks aaaaaages ago, was nice to see kids could play out in the street late into the evening, certainly did seem crime free. Thanks :) oh and also, awesome videos! Thank you very much for them.

@callumCGLP Did you need any special permission for this wonderful series? You'd think the powers that be would support non-profit free thought. I'm thinking of doing an Alan Watts series that's similar to your great tribute and i'm wondering if you've run into a lot of copyright nonsense.

@hrd2imagin how did it happen? how do they know that galaxies are slowly going farther in the cosmos? have they seen the whole universe? so you think there was just a single ball that suddenly exploded and created matter from explosions of the first stars? what caused the first cause? so much left unexplained and i understand that... i know my belief is not required for this theory to happen, either way it is just a theory, and i think einstein believed in this theory when he conceptualized it.

hrd2imagin 9 months ago
@gleefanatic2011 First, we have a very good understanding of these questions, and robust evidence to support that understanding. The unexplained questions cannot be attributed to a deity, as such an argument is a logical fallacy (god-of-the-gaps). There are a great many things that we once attributed to god for this reason, but then we came to understand them through science. The same will eventually happen with these unexplained questions. The universe is not obliged to appease your feelings.
callumCGLP 9 months ago
@gleefanatic2011 Moreover, you don't seem to understand the scientific term "theory". In science, a theory is supported by a compelling and substantial amount of evidence - this is not the same as the layman's definition of "theory". I also don't understand what you are referring to when you say "i think einstein believed in this theory" - to which theory are you referring?
callumCGLP 9 months ago
@callumCGLP by theory i mean a system of ideas which is intended to explain something. i was referring to einstein's big bang theory, which stemmed from his theory of relativity.
