[perepe10]

we are star stuff..., looking forward to Tyson's Cosmos remake!

[asunderco]

Sad how this video is only approaching 17K views (since July) and is so utterly amazing and filled with wonder and a dad shooting his daughters laptop with a 45 has garnished 6 million views in one single day... Just goes to show you how important we think we are and what a small few learned minds truly understand our place in the universe.

[Anarchistt86]

The two ppl who disliked dont believe in stars.

[jackp22]

I can't believe I'll never get stoned with this man :(

[TamedShadow]

Stop distracting yourselves from yourselves.

The only one who can answer your questions is you. As much as you want to deny this, you cannot hide from the truth. You persist to masturbate your fear for the unknown and never just give it a rest. Nothing is out there as far as we know. I'm not saying that there isn't anything out there, I'm saying that everything you hear today is fabrications; hoaxes, and people talking out of their asses. None of them can support their belief system.

[TamedShadow]

I don't care what made me.

I care to live and make something out of myself instead of pretending I know there is something out there that will answer my questions that has never been answered the entire time the human race existed.

Humans added value to everything. Humans added standards and defied pure essence of our world. Who cares if the universe is infinitely bigger, it does not deem it any more important than we are.

[TamedShadow]

You people amuse me. Who cares about what is beyond ourselves. Nobody truly /knows/ the universe. They just become 'aware' of it and interpret it through our /human/ languages.

Who cares about what will happen.. Yes, there are lights in the sky that is far more beautiful and mysterious than lights we see here. Get over yourselves, and see that there is a universe in each and every one of us. Gazing at the infinity of our skies, when we don't even understand ourselves, is fruitless trivia. -.-

[Nineteen1900Hundred]

@TamedShadow

Poetic though your comment may be, I find it quite selfish and false in the way you elude to a privileged position for humanity among the universe. And what makes you think that science is lying to us?

[TamedShadow]

@Nineteen1900Hundred I'm selfish for stating that there is no ''better of''? The human race pretends to be intelligent and greater than any other thing of this world, and we continue to allow the minute solar system deem us insignificant in comparison, because it's ''infinite'' and ''too much for us to fathom''.

We are just children, our imagination is our blanket that covers us from reality. It must feel good feeling ''big'' in this world, and then feeling ''small'' when it comes to...

[TamedShadow]

@Nineteen1900Hundred the universe beyond us. Yet, we continue to try to understand and acknowledge what is out there, because we think in our ''intelligent'' minds: ''that if we discover something in space that helps us understand it more, we are understanding ourselves and becoming more defined. [Even though every single language; distinction we have magically painted our world with, is nothing but a bloody lie to begin with. It's all in our heads. This world will forever be _____. [nameless.]

[spikeypineapple552]

40% of us scientists pray. Religion does not exclude science, and science does not exclude religion.

[dawtchins]

@spikeypineapple552 Scientists do not use their religion when making discoveries, if they did use their books they would make no discoveries, Religion tells us that the universe is here for us, science tells us not, science has bashed into our minds who insignificant we are, but were still hanging on to some constellation of an afterlife. Science doesn't care what we think, mythology and reality don't mix.

[Nineteen1900Hundred]

@spikeypineapple552

Sorry but you can't have science AND religion. It doesn't work like that.

[FullAccessAgent]

Love this video. One of your best. Always come back to it when I'm feeling down. Puts things in perspective.

[copp85]

We are all made of star stuff - Carl Sagan

[amarmirza08]

I have a religion test today (yes it is a required class in my college) but I am watching this instead. I seek truth not myth.

[Pianofy]

The music is mostly Ludovico Einaudi, for those wondering :)

[crapflinger]

Awesome: to inspire awe. Awesome videos!

[Atheist961]

i feel safe when i watch your videos SAGAN , ur amazing

[Stonehawk]

Poetry... pure poetry. Carl Sagan was truly a great man. He introduced science to me in a way that few other things could--in a way that feels almost "Spiritual" in its profundity. I have found "God", our "Creator": "He" was the stars that died. flinging countless trillions of tons of matter into the great dark beyond, such that our own sun could take them into its gravitational embrace, and give it form... It will never cease to astound me.

[reluctantlydancing]

I remember sitting in my Intro to Astronomy class when we first learned about stellar evolution. I nearly started crying right there in lecture, because the realization that the iron in my blood was born inside a dying star was so profound. It bridged the disparity I had always felt between how mundane and self absorbed daily life was, and how vast I knew the universe must be.

[Lucuskane]

Good work, Ludovico tracks is also  a good match

[lovesalfie]

Your videos are really well made,beautiful tributes this one is especially nice.

[BitchImJuice]

Science and reason is humans only hope for survival. Thanks for being a pathway.

[MillenniumRequiem]

@callumCGLP

I didn't think about that. I guess it would to more good to let him spew nonsense then. Thanks! Sorry for bugging you then.

[MillenniumRequiem]

@callumCGLP

You might want to block NobDickBalls. He's troll'n all your videos, and just bugging everyone. People can't comment without him trolling everything they say!

[callumCGLP]

@MillenniumRequiem Thanks for letting me know. I read all comments on all my videos, and I appreciate your suggestion but I don't censor anyone. In fact, I think it's interesting to see the stark contrast in the discourse between those who live their lives according to reason and science, and those who live their lives according to faith. The former group is supposedly morally bankrupt, while the latter is sanctimonious. Let others see that this isn't the case, censorship won't accomplish that.

[callumCGLP]

@callumCGLP And if enough people hit the thumbs-down button the comment will be hidden. So there's always that, but I don't remove comments unless it's spam.

[ChesterGreeneMusic]

@callumCGLP A man after my own heart

[rsexplorer20]

@callumCGLP They just keep getting better and better :D

Thank you so much for keeping Carl Sagan's legacy alive on Youtube

[aserta]

@callumCGLP when i look at science and religion, i see far more pain and suffering in the latter and i see so much hope, faith for better in the first. and yet religious people and religion has it's purpose. we are not ready.

[turbozed]

@callumCGLP

That's a great way of looking at it. Freedom of speech, like science, is a self-correcting and enlightening mechanism. If you haven't already, check out Hitchens defense of freedom of speech. It's one of my favorite videos on youtube. Also, keep up the great work!

[NobDickBalls]

OH FOR FUCK SAKE! We are not children of the stars,we are children of God......fucking twat pisses me off with the shit he says! Carl Sagan talked alot of bollocks have to admit some things he says makes me piss myself with laughter.... probably still coming out with this shit whilst burning in hell! Yes of course the Earth will die god is fed up with the pompus pieces of shit like this Carl Sagan he will send us all to hell!!!!!!!!

[jwhyte67]

@NobDickBalls Piss off troll.

[NobDickBalls]

@jwhyte67 for fuck sake kiss my balls you fucking twat ass! face facts Carl Sagan was a piece of shite..horrid discusting man!

[SuccubusMagician]

@NobDickBalls With a filthy sailor mouth like that you must be a child of God

[NobDickBalls]

@SuccubusMagician FUCK OFF KNOB JOCKEY!!!!! GOD IS AN UNGRATEFUL SHIT THAT NEEDS HIS TEETH KNOCKING OUT! HOW DARE GOD ALLOW EVIL VILE CREATURES TO EXIST!

[SuccubusMagician]

@NobDickBalls Dude lay off the Crack seriously

[rsexplorer20]

@NobDickBalls Do you got evidence for your theory that we are children of God?

Carl Sagan got evidence for evidence for the theory that we are children of the Stars.

Give me evidence.

If not stop trolling and disrespecting this man that was real.

I respect your belief in Jesus and the God from the bible but you must respect the Facts.

[NobDickBalls]

@rsexplorer20 .....another twat! how dare you ask proof of our father he is all around is you fool! Carl Sagan was satans child he has no evidence nothing but satans illusions! you ass the stars you see are the gods and holy spirits watching over us...we anger them!

I'm not trolling you fucking ass hair!!!!

Humans are ungrateful,selfish fools we anger god for what we are becoming satan is taking over the human race we want destroying pieces of satan shit the lot of us!!!!!!!!!!!

[dadsythe2]

@NobDickBalls May I ask, do you have any friends?

[MrSupercat9]

@NobDickBalls I'm pretty sure God and Jesus both would not approve of your hostile and abusive language toward some of these nice people. You should check yourself and practice the faith you hold so dearly. The Bible has good lessons but unfortunately many pastors and preachers interpret some of them to propagate their own bias and hatred.

[isilia0]

Why can I only like this once? ;)

[FreedomLiberty21]

manly tears were shed for the future death of Sol :(

[jfalls88]

This is really great. The music, images, and Carl's voice go together very nicely :)

[CravenPL]

Very good part, but music is bit too loud, and at times it's hard to hear Carl.

[marasu66]

I understand that stars blow the elements into space, but the planets do not disintegrate in this way, so those molecules are imprisoned on dead planets. Now, I don't feel so bad that I haven't been able to recycle all the material I no longer use.

[Chatboy91]

Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise. That would be amazing.

[JackeShanTwo]

One of my favorite episodes from Cosmos. (Hard to pick a favorite though) :P

[UjioSatashi]

does anyone have any books to recommend- written by carl sagan? :) let me know

[JackeShanTwo]

@UjioSatashi Pale Blue Dot, The Demon Haunted World, Billions and Billions and Cosmos which was written before it aired on TV.

[libriano91]

@UjioSatashi The Dragons of Eden: Speculations on the Evolution of Human Intelligence, Broca's Brain: Reflections on the Romance of Science, Contact and Comet.

[Richard133t]

Your series has inspired me to read Carl Sagan's books, reading billions & billions at this present time! Hope to read all of them!

[VfletchS]

Great videos. I've told so many people about them and watched all of them many times over. Just excellent, excellent work and a fitting tribute to someone who has greatly influenced and inspired myself and so many others ever since Cosmos first aired on PBS so long ago.

However...

Please show the credits before the video starts or after, not DURING. A small thing perhaps, but having so much text popping up during the first minute of the video is just distracting and... irritating.

[Akirameerkat]

every one of these videos is a masterpiece, Carl Sagan truly was one of the most intelligent members of our species who ever lived. if we had more like him, we wouldn't have to worry about anything.

[luisdez81]

Another beautiful installment in a wonderful series. I am grateful for these. CHEERS!

[minisci15]

You're the only person I've ever subscribed to on youtube.

[apple2018]

It cannot get any better than this video! 

[dodgerunner1000]

Perfect

[AmusedDragon]

This was amazing. Thank you.

[nuckable]

True poetry.

[ivanrade]

Simply beautiful!

[alexsha3]

thanks !!!!!! greetings from spain

[RickyRecruit]

This made me kind of emotional.

[Galileo1864]

whatever happens, keep posting these Callum; if every person living today could see, understand, absorb, and live what is contained in this series, we would have a much, much better world. your series celebrate the underlying unity that bounds us, and, to borrow Sagan's words 'to me it underscores the necessity to deal with more kindly to one another, and cherish the cosmos and the planet from which we all spring.' Thank you Callum. Thank you Carl. may we human live as one.

[HiperativoO]

Thanks for uploading this, fuckin` amazing.

[par0z]

No one would dare dislike this. So amazing!

[GordonWolters]

So happy to get my new Cosmos boxed set.

[WindScar48]

"Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics. [...]

...so forget Jesus. The stars died so you could be here today." - Lawrence M. Krauss (you can find on youtube the rest of Krauss' awe-inspiring speech)

I think the stars would be proud to know that a small part of them became entities like Carl Sagan or Lawrence Krauss...

[nfhslugger]

I smiled the second i saw this was uploaded

[billygundum]

Carl Sagan FTW

[stodluke]

you sir are one of the great artists of youtube. Keep it up.

[d3st88]

Poetry at its finest. Sagan's words, the message, the way and eloquence he communicates his message, the music, the visuals. It's perfection, Callum. Good job, bro.

[VCRRecorded360]

"Some day, with all of our advances in science and technology, we'll be able to land a man on the sun."

[rafaelwaa]

AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

[Dnovo09]

once again. amazing!



[karablak1]

You just made me cry you bastard.

Liked, faved and subbed.

[NilNeiro]

Carl Sagan would be proud of your work

[Holgmeister]

"Some five billion years from now, there will be a last 'perfect' day on earth." Wow! Only Carl can put such a horrible event in such beautiful words! You are missed. :(

[MillenniumRequiem]

I wana hug the sun now......

[marasu66]

{{{SUN}}}

[MrWajax]

Love this! Added to favorites.

[BombadilcommaTom]

@callumCGLP This is far and away your best work to date. Wonderful.

[Nolars87]

v.good

[cristianfcao]

I can't understand why, but I often cry watching these vids. Maybe it has to do with the mixed emotions involved in knowing that we are 1 with the Univ. We came to know that we are just a speck of dust in whole thing, yet the fact that we made that discovery gives me hope and pride. Pride that from this tiny place, this modest ape could cooperate over hundreds of yrs. to finally KNOW about something so removed from our experience that for most history it was monopolized by religion and mysticism

[Technicolor909]

The cosmos is a way for humanity to know itself.

[GareBearzJuicy]

Carl Sagan is perhaps the most inspirational person in my lifetime. The way he expresses the cosmos in his lectures are aw-inspiring to say the least. You have no idea how happy I am that you upload these videos man. Keep up the good work! =)

[drjonathonflash]

Thank you so much for this tribute series callumCGLP

[LilDrummerBoy74]

Great video! This is one of my favourite videos yet! Please don't stop making these!

[theRAZ]

callum i don't know but something is funny with the audio...

[LilDrummerBoy74]

@theRAZ He is using something called Noise Reduction which reduces any static and white noise from the background. One of the 'side effects' of this is making the sound a bit watery. It's distracting I know. When I try to clear up a voice track I sometimes reduce the high frequencies. Also, in the background of the original video from Cosmos was a soundtrack playing.

[badblueman]

Don't stop.

[DASBIGUN]

@callumCGLP have 100+ subscriptions....and you are one of the few I look forward to.

[clayton7m]

YAY, I get so happy when I see these :D

[BornInThe20thCentury]

Einaudi and Sagan; nice combo.

[VegsoulWhiteWolf]

Wonderful job, thank you. We needed something to lift our spirits today...

[moomother12345]

There is nothing that I get more excited about than when I see one of your new videos.

[kissmygrittsyall]

@moomother12345

Agreed, I freakin' love this series.

[d3st88]

@moomother12345

Same here, bro.

[Skymarshal]

@moomother12345

Agreed. Subscribed.

I've been watching these while at work the past few days. Really puts things in perspective.

[xXPedroMXx]

beautiful ;D

[SashkoGrigoriev]

As we say here in Russia: PREKRASNO! :))) it means something like "gorgeous" or "marvelous". This footage touches my soul so deep, it makes me wanna swear out loud on my native language ^_____^. OHUENNO, EBAT MENIA ZA NOGU! )))))))

[CookieOrb]

an awesome*

[CookieOrb]

Holy **** that is awesome video.
