[greekfitercod4ever]

why cant they build a telscope on the moon?

[AftonWaters]

@fowzie Your comprehension requires a little exercise. Point 1. if you listen, yes Point 2. Ditto Point 3. Not irrational, delusional

[greekfitercod4ever]

why not build telescopes on the moon?

[spamero2]

Why the hell I can't decide that 10% (or whatever) of my taxes would go to NASA / CERN / ESA .. etc ?!

[gotsda]

3:32 Wasn't this the bond villians hideout in Quantom of Solace?

[wizardmori]

The horizon is spreading and opens forever. I fill all up.

地平は何処までも広がっている。全て埋め尽くす。

[stephenboing]

I heard Neill De Grasse Tyson postulate that the amount N.A.S.A spends on such research as viewed in the above video clip, equates to half a penny in the U.S dollar, so i am baffled beyond explaination as to why we as a species do not invest more money in such endevours, when you really sit down and listen to the information gleened over the last five decades in space exploration, it is truly humbling, and one begins to appreciate just how precious our awareness is. All one has to do is look up.

[gotsda]

@stephenboing I would absolutely love for more of my money to be pumped into these things, a global organisation would be somthing that I would love to see.

But Nasa is just a cold war throw back, a way of indirectly measuring military technology against Russia. The American governments only interest in space is that it was impressive, not its true importance.

So they no longer see it as cost effective... unfortunatly.

[Ellieways]

Viva La Resolution. ;)

[jgwoodworking]

Yep this was great. watched more then once.

[sayno2lolzisback]

I loved that scientist at the end, explaining how we aren't insignificant and how we are pretty amazing as a species!

[Goombamush]

What is the music playing at 56:34 ????!!!! Its absolutely killing me, is there anyway i can find out?

[MortenBoHansen]

@Goombamush haha i also thought troughout the movie, damn the music is a killer! Both space AND good music is a total win !:)

[Klause5425]

i don't care for Asian people...

[jgwoodworking]

@Klause5425 What?

[Klause5425]

@jgwoodworking you heard what i said.

[jgwoodworking]

@Klause5425 did NOT hear anything, moron. but saw what what you typed

[Klause5425]

@jgwoodworking well i heard it...

[uhohthatsadollar90]

great soundtrack as well. thanks for posting!

[TheWizardWeiss]

VlT , SOFIA AND HUBBLE they are like a family working together to give us knowledge

[Jose76890]

@Democrit1to9Freud they knew what stars were thousands of years ago...

[atista007]

Wars are a waist of money, nasa gets $ 20 billion, us mitary trilions.

[stephenboing]

@atista007 Sensible words my friend, sensible words.

[VERGIS92]

@atista007 without military technology there would be no telescopes, Boeing 747, computers, NASA and military are strongly interdependent

[gotsda]

@atista007 Nasa is in essence, just an offshoot of the US military.

[greekfitercod4ever]

@atista007 since ancient times war were waisted money

[dexterquotidian]

@atista007 without weapons cultures cannot survive, they just become easy prey to anyone with weapons

[4JesusRace]

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”  Albert Einstein

[TheWizardWeiss]

@4JesusRace Yes Albert Einstein was an atheist

[4JesusRace]

were all religious if you think about if you don't believe in anything that's your religion not to believe

[CUjoBitME]

@4JesusRace No thats just a belief, religion is defined as "a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, WHEN considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies".

Not that there is anything wrong with religion, its just a pet peeve of mine when someone considers a lack of belief in religion, a religion.

[llaven]

Thanks for share, you see? no #SOPA

[philopolymath]

Pretty hard to find something that is not possible in nature.NO BB NO BLACK HOLES

Still lots of valuable astronomy do to.

Everything verifies Walter Russell.

[charlie19812007]

The BBC are brilliant at this type of thing. Best documentary makers on the planet IMHO.

[amcbirds]

who can dislike this stuff?

[HugeDeek]

I feel the money and effort could be better spent getting to know our own planet, our sea, sickness, aging... and Many more! with all these intelligent minds put into area like geography and biology, I think our world would have been a better place.

[phurt89]

@HugeDeek Yeah I think all the time, money and effort invested in religion around the world should be put to better use to. Imagine the world then, it would be amazing free of religion.

[4JesusRace]

@phurt89 i think Hitler and Stalin tried that

Imagine the world then, it would be amazing free of religion of man .

[phurt89]

@4JesusRace Hitler was religious himself! A catholic. Stalin had the right idea, he went a bit too far with it though and was a pretty evil dictator.

[forky75]

How the hell do people get paid to look at stars/universe, just to make up theories. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME & MONEY.. Not a single person on this planet knows how a "black hole" works.. just make up some bullshit & we're supposed to believe it.. FARK OFF! Who cares if they discover a new star/planet.. THE FARKIN THINGS ARE A GAZILLION MILES AWAY, YET THESE FROOTLOOPS GET PAID TO TELL US THAT.. WHY WHY WHY? it has nothing to do with our lives on this planet.. again WHAT A WASTE OF TIME & MONEY!

[Faitssss]

@forky75 it's beautiful and interesting though.

[phurt89]

@forky75 You're right we should just stay secluded on our home planet and not dare to wonder about the mysteries of the universe that created us. It does have a lot to do with us because naturally we are curious and want to seek answers, sure there's people like you who are completely happy not knowing about the universe we live and the religious who refuse to believe it, why else be this evolved if we are not willing to learn, it's what sets us aside from all the other life on Earth.

[MPCWatkins]

@forky75 Have you never looked up at the sky on a starry night and thought, "Wow. I wonder what's up there?"

[Goombamush]

Does anyone know what music is playing at 56:45 I have looked everywhere! Its killing me, I love it so much! ^_^

[ayaakiosawa0]

I want a screen shot of 6:00

[einsteinjun]

i love science, do you? :-)

[fowzie777]

so let me get this straight....you can't see a black hole...nobody has ever seen a black hole but scientists believe they exist...this is rational...?

scientists have never seen dark matter....nobody has ever seen dark matter but scientists believe it exists...this is also rational?

on the other hand, you can't see God....nobody has ever seen God but people believe He exists...and this is irrational?

funny isn't it...

[fowzie777]

@fowzie777 -actually they didn't see the black hole...they saw stuff around what they "believe" was a black hole...faith

[fowzie777]

@fowzie777 LOL!!! Life didn't evolve here...and we're wasting all this money to find out it didn't evolve anywhere else...that's so funny its sad...

[pixiesmasher]

@fowzie777 these are just theories not beliefs. the difference between these scientific theories and the existence of god is that scientists will test test and test again to see if these theories hold water. all they are saying is that from the conclusions of previous and continuous experimentation these are the most likely possibilities to explain the mindblowing complexity of the universe.

[Heffalumpluvver]

Boy. Galileo sure didn't see THAT coming.

[CHOTICHATRI007]

This desert home is filmed in james bond movie....casino royale

[skylinefolife]

Wow. Chill the fuck out. They're just formations of gas and other dumb shit that have no form. Unless you look at them from far enough :3 Hmmm @_@ Go look at your hot ass neighbor instead... ;) Now that's form. ^.^

[gnark1ll1us]

Thank you for the upload.

[romagen]

the awkward moment, when you realize that birdshit can reveal cheap mirror effects in a video :P

[aonewomancrowd]

"I certainly can't imagine a time when we would be done asking questions. I can't imagine that as human beings we would ever be there. I know sometimes people feel insignificant or small when they think about astronomy and they think about the cosmos. And I think it's amazing that we're the people, we're the species who are able to understand how we got here. And, that's not small. That's pretty amazing."

This sums up the video for me.

[GrimSoul66]

42:30 was the best part of this whole clip.

[toob247]

if you dnt believe in live elsewher after the first minute your not really familiar with odds. Cause if the odds are one in a billion .that means theres at least 5 planets with life within just what we saw in the first min :)

[grendel1980]

was that guy swimming naked?



[3000KJH]

Amazing , anyone else watching with headphones & when you heard the mosquitoes thought u were under attack lol

[TheMotherEagle]

Im all for scientific discovery but just wondering where does the funding come for these projects? And how are the military industrial complex persuaded they shouldn't have the money instead?

[TheMotherEagle]

I thought a VLT was Veal Lettuce and Tomato. :p

[GrimSoul66]

@TheMotherEagle Veal is bad manners.

[lazyfreedom98]

More of a Rock Video then a Science Documentary.

[10rosegarden14]

So many amazing videos to watch, so little time!

[lmos26]

I love BBC Horizons,  its like pure heroin for people that love science. Keep it coming :)

[Nananut001]

@lmos26 My dear fellow, when you have electric power, telephone, computer, internet (as I suppose you do), it is so easy to deride "people that love science". I wish you, for the New Year and all the other years to come, a sound health, so that you may never be in need of X-rays, magnetic tomography, electric cardiographs and so many other stupid instruments that "people that love science" have injected in our lives. Live long and prosper!

[soURfunnyYOUthink]

how can u dislike this??

[anddywmomin]

@soURfunnyYOUthink its those creationist morons.



[MagicVtec]

@anddywmomin I believe...we believe...is all what they say,and science is not about believing.The pictures of the universe are amazing,the telescopes are too,but they,scientists, don't have a clue about what they see and what to do with the information they get.It's not necessary to be a creationist to doubt something,like when most people believed the world was flat,someone had a doubt about it,and it happened to be right.So I and few others have a doubt about what they "believe".

[marshja56]

@MagicVtec This is a TV show made for a popular audience. The underlying science is in peer reviewed journals. There, believing is not enough and you must have convincing data to get your ideas published. To start, read some astrophysics preprints from arxiv, online. Warning! These papers are difficult, highly technical and would make very bad TV! But if you can find where the authors are wrong let them know. Being skeptical is how science works. Maybe you can make a contribution.

[ukspawn666]

This video just stands up and urinates on the creation "theory". I bet you could actualy place a bet on life being found elsewhere in our lifetime at some betting shop, just the odds and the scale alone! I mean there's serious possibility that elswhere in our own solar sysem there is life. (if you cant/wont/dont believe this then check the evidence, and make up your own mind.) So "God" only knows what else there is ;)

[ssijak]

amazing, really <3

[PissOnTheSystem]

Does anyone know what the name of the opening song is? Thx!

[ssijak]

@PissOnTheSystem Mirrorball - Elbow : /watch?v=nMD7FIpq11Q Recognised with another amasing technology, Shazam for Android phone :D

[Ichliebemusikundybd]

Overwhelmingly beautiful I am seriously melting here! Thanks for the upload! Here here for the stars!

[antrot25]

Oustanding, maybe some day we could find our real planet out there, lol.

[a2z]

so how much money has been spent for three years and ZERO neutrinos...

[izaccy]

@a2z You actually be amazed to find out that the bailouts the banks got in 08 crisis.

is bigger then NASA´s whole 50 years budget in its whole existence.

[StarCraftRaver]

@a2z billions of children's worth that starved to death, many being geniuses that could have detected the partial if only given a chance in life....

[cesarbaston]

It is curious that a BBC programme ignores the fact that Hubble and James Webb space telescopes are done in collaboration with ESA (European Space Agency), and they just imply those are the works of NASA only.

[krebul]

There are no answers. There is only information that allows us to ask better questions.

[Tan3l6]

Very interesting documentary. Though the narrative gets a bit strange with the neutrino telescope.

[AstronomyGuru84]

The one person who disliked this must live in the middle of a big city with lots of light pollution. :P

[dotheneurotic]

The music for this is amazing. Can anyone tell me what song is playing at 31:55?

[noircat]

Simply breathtaking...it's absolutely amazing how far human understanding of the cosmos has come, and yet it will always be overshadowed by what we have yet to discover.

[elemenohpee1]

The universe gives me a hard on.

[bloodman8989]

i have the same headset :)

[Lasstpak]

Respect for the workers who builded there! 

[rylanmilr]

HAHA naked eye

[Sundaydish1]

@TheShu15

never heard of r-tards? clearly you have never watched South Park. Do you live in a box in the woods or something? You seem to be an expert on mental deficiency are you speaking from experiance? And sorry but uploaded resolution has NOTHING to do with the bb speed of the person watching it. R-tard.

[Sundaydish1]

seriously? why are all videos in crappy 240p resolution? are there really still r-tards that cant watch higher than that?

[TheShu15]

@Sundaydish1 That is one of the most narrow minded questions I have seen all day. Broadband speed is all about the provider and the location. If people can't afford the faster connection or do not live in a place that has faster connection speeds, they will obviously only be able to watch the lower resolutions. Second of all, "r-tards"? I believe the word is retards, and retards are people who have a medical condition in which their brains are not fully developed. But you already knew that.

[brainybaboon]

So inspiring!!

[silentcompany]

I have my own theory on what we call black-holes.

Either:

1) Giant stars emitting powerful magnetic fields that serve as natural cloaking fields.

-OR-

2) What we consider black-holes are in fact an advanced civilizations attempt to disguise it's massive star from would-be intergalactic prospectors.

[ScorpionX9T2]

@silentcompany haha nice try :P how about they are just BLACK HOLES. its all about density

[MegaLove101]

Amazing job done by brilliant mind. 

[stu82art]

Does anyone know the music used around 39:50? also heard it used in HBO'S 24/7 series, but unable to track it down.

[JessLikins]

There is so much out there yet to be discovered. These scientists are amazing!

[shaitan66]

amazing insight into the far reaching understanding of mankind. too bad James Webb Telescope may never be launched..

[mingz]

whats the song at 57:00?

[samoz83]

@mingz Above and Afar - Oswin Mackintosh

[mingz]

@samoz83 Yes! thats the one :D thanks!

[Goombamush]

@mingz I was just wondering of you ever found out, as you posted this a while ago. I'm desperate to find out what it is! :)

[101majeed]

WOW is not enough.

[newsathish]

Breathtaking, amazing, striking, exciting, brilliant, stunning, fkingly jaw dropping !!

For me its simply the CELEBRATION OF MANKIND !!

[PICLex]

Viva la resolution :)
