Most Important Image Ever Taken - Get Shocked & be Humble :)

[DtTV94]

The question that will truly humble even the stoutest minds is this: If this universe was created by a creator, then who created the creator? And then, who created this creator? Ad Infinitum...

[iTruth]

@DtTV94

Translation of a small chapter containing only 4 verses is complete and perfect definition if you think about it:

112:1 "Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;"

112:2 "Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;"

112:3 "He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;"

112:4 "And there is none like unto Him."

(Quran, chapter 112)

[SIMKINETICS]

The visible cosmos is recently regarded a being over 90B light years in radius. If light propagation is the speed-limit for everything, how could the Big Bang expand the cosmos to this size in just 14B years? The Big Bang is a creation theory. Isn't it instead more plausible that the cosmos has no limits in all spatial & temporal dimensions? If eternal, it had no beginnning. Perhaps, cosmic expansion is just a local event which we cannot measure or even detect beyond its horizon.

[iTruth]

@SIMKINETICS

Universe being 90B light-years across but only 14B light-years old? Actually that is among the questions scientists themselves are trying to know the answer to.

I think the speculation of "universe being eternal" is based on common lack of astronomical knowledge. It is well known within learned scientific community that the universe did have an origin; the origin having zero volume and infinite mass.

[iTruth]

@SIMKINETICS

Moreover, some interesting signs about the origin of universe in a more than 1400 years old book called Quran:

"Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of creation), before we clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?" (21:30)

[gerbilbotherer]

Sometimes I needed to be reminded. But every time I am I can do nothing but stare in absolute awe at the galaxy.

[QuestionMark308]

Islam is one of the few large religions that actually encourages curiosity and learning. If all religions were like islam i would be okay with religion.

[o1o1s1]

@QuestionMark308 ... i soo agree with that. I am muslim and i learned from the quran to be curious and to learn how to question with reason

[ledsabbath165]

I hate the fact that In my lifetime I may never leave this planet and see for myself how Beautiful Space is.

[iTruth]

LOL, turning in his grave to be a faithful believer?

Anyway, I respect Carl for his work on astronomy. He had his right to have his own conclusions from the explored knowledge while I have my own right of conclusion.

Please stop portraying Carl Sagan as a symbol of disbelief or a religion-hater.

[TheVoid]

@iTruth Carl Sagan was at best an agnostic. However, watch "pale blue dot", i wouldn't suggest he is a religion "hater". Yet, he is very cautious of it and all the grief and misery it has contributed to humanity. I do not see him as a hater of anything. Yet he did not (from what i understand) respect religion. I have a question to you seeing as you are a religious person, why did a god, allah, zeus, whatever, create a univerese and galaxy and our own sun, which will eventually die?

[iTruth]

Your questions have been answered in Qur'an already. It is only that people do not read themselves and keep assuming about it. Thousands of people who used to have assumptions about Qur'an and about Allah, they studied Qur'an and then couldn't help but to become Muslims. Need I remind again that they used to have same kind of prejudices and misconceptions about Islam BEFORE they studied Qur'an themselves.

[TheVoid]

I have been trying to buy a copy of the Qu'ran but to no luck. Could you possibly refer me to where my question has been answered. In particular the one about dying suns etc. it would be much appreciated. I will check out that site you have pointed me to.

[xakatski]

we arnnt evena spec of dust, in a full map of universe, i doubt our galaxy would be a spec of dust

[xakatski]

oh yeh and the universe is still expanding

[xakatski]

75 billion light years is very big, considering how far the sun is and light takes oabout 8-9 mins to get here from the sun.

[fnanfne]

Appreciated, thanks!

[paulf1310]

I was impressed with concept, script and narration supported by just the right background and visual material. One comment though-bias was evident in the choice of one word early in the narrative - "stuff" - whilst overall I concluded the narrater/writer presented a fair view, initially I thought: "Oh, boy, just another one eyed view" Nevertheless, I am impressed - to the narrator/author - I say: "very professional". I would be honoured to meet you.

[Musabre]

Whats the song called that starts after pink floyd? sounds dramatic, any ideas?

[heeroFars]

i thought the universe was some 14 billion years old? or am i mistaken numbers... (please let me know i am not looking for a fight... just answers)

[Joe41272]

It's only frustrating because we'll never meet anyone in another galaxy. No matter what. WE WILL NEVER MEET ANYONE FROM ANOTHER GALAXY. The distances are just too far.

[rudenoodle]

You got me, gratz.

[20091cali]

i got to say...this is got to be the most amazing video i've seen this month!! powerful, electric, and yes, very humble i am. :)

[mykeyknocks]

Beautiful

[eoghdes18]

Haha! Awesome! Loved the little dancey interlude.

[NightmarishGuy]

HOT DAMN, THAT'S A LOT OF UNIVERSE!!!!

[tgc1600]

Big Bang Theory works on the premise that there was something there before. No scientist ever suggested that it came from nothing. They mystery is of course what led to the big bang. I am not expert and I am sure there are theories about. Having said that, you are correct in a way; nothing can come from nothing. That is logical!

It is interesting to note that the scientist who originally proposed the 'big bang theory' was named Fr. Georges Lemaître - a Roman Catholic priest from Belgian.

[oskarkarrera]

AWESOME VIDEO.

[KnaveryAbounds]

iTruth, I enjoyed this video, and am sorry that it's become a forum for theological debate. The photos Hubble has given us are a breathtaking glimpse out into the universe outside of our galactic neighborhood. To think that even as recently as 100 years ago, few could imagine that we would ever see the universe in such majesty. From a creator, or an inconceivably powerful burst of energy and matter, our universe is truly something beautiful and wonderful to behold.

[iTruth]

thanks for your good comment.

[karlmahlmann]

Those are beautiful pictures and instill a sense of wonder. But it doesnt necessarily follow how small [insignificant] we are or that alien life is a given. There is absolutely no evidence for alien life. When I see it, Ill believe it.

[adambomb360]

truly inspiring, this is one of the great examples as to why one day I want to become an astronomer. Understanding the way the universe holds secrets of life and other worlds.

[martyn580]

actually, that picture is out of date, we are seeing it 78 million years in the past

[11Fordo11]

haha woah you just blew my mind

[SpiderShaman3323]

The universe is much bigger than 75 billion light years across.

[7olusegun]

This aint anything remarkable to me! If some galaxies are 78 billion light years away, then it must have taken light 78 billion years to reach the earth (and Hubble) that these galaxies may be seen. Now if the big bang is (purported to be) about 15 billion years old and all these galaxies came from it, how come they are 78 billion light years distant? Is it possible for a child of 100 years of age to be born from its 24 year old mother? (i.e.can a child be older than its parents? It beats me.

[buak]

Current interpretations of astronomical observations indicate that the diameter of the observable universe is at least 93 billion light years.

[deathByStupid]

God is all-powerful so creating something like the universe should be relatively easy, when your all-powerful doing great things is just as easy as doing easy things.

Now i'm not trying to toot my own horn but....

I on the other hand can do a spiral with my tongue.

Digest that!

[bigboy9153]

great video!!!!

makes me wonder whats out there

[eastboston7]

amazing video. btw does anyone know what the background music starting at 2:00 is?

[munchskinman]

that tripped me out you legend!!!!

[dreadpiratedan]

this is a beautiful video, thanks :)

[mounir1426]

Subhan Allah!

"He Who created the seven heavens in layers. You will not find any flaw in the creation of the All-Merciful. Look again -do you see any gaps? Then look again and again. Your sight will return to you dazzled and exhausted!"

Qur'an, 67: 3-4

And yet all of it said to be nothing but a grain of mustard in the ocean compared to the Divine Throne

[cyberdaemon]

Just as it seems that blank blackness in sky is empty and not full of galaxies , the empty space around us is filled with energy we normally cant see.I do not know how much energy , but i might be MASSIVE amount :D

[tadekatsuhonda]

amazing video

[ripper00769]

Allahu-Akbar!

See what Allah(swt) says in the Quran!!

"He Who created the seven heavens one above another: No want of proportion wilt thou see in the Creation of ((Allah)) Most Gracious. So turn thy vision again: seest thou any flaw?" - The Holy Quran 67:3

"Again turn thy vision a second time: (thy) vision will come back to thee dull and discomfited, in a state worn out." - The Holy Quran 67:4

[00Amir00]

what is the name of the song, that is played at 1:30???

[therealbat]

as much knowledge i gained in my life, what we are seeing is the lower heaven, Allah created 7 heavens and each one is bigger than the previus one to unimaginable sizes..like a ring in a desert then the second heaven is like a ring in a desert compare to the 3rd heaven and so on..it is beyond human imaginations !!!

Allah is the Greatest

[mangaMaMo]

Mekelsior, your words argue with each other:

you say that there is only one god: the god of abraham, isac and jacob, right? yet you accept that Allah exists? are u turning polytheistic?

that aside, muslims believe in Abraham too, and that his lord is Allah.

Soo....tell me...what do you think?

[rehanx4]

Muslims believe in one God. Allah is not a different God, its just how u say God in Arabic.

[firekioken]

arabic=Allah

english=God

spanish=Dios

[noshay27]

check the name of God in bible written in arabic. You will have the answer for your missunderstanding. thank you

[larbi86]

thx allah that we are muslims subhana allah !

[larbi86]

thx allah that we are muslims subhana allah !

[Blake97201]

MELON, logan646 is what we refer to as red necks/trailer trash.

[peteq1972]

We`re just living at a point in time in some universal cycle, we don`t quite know how it (big bang) started, and we`re not quite sure how it ends, and starts again or whatever, there are a few theories, but my point is that just because WE don`t know the answer it doesn`t mean, by default, a God did it!

i think idea of a god making the universe is a kind of childish idea mankind can`t shake off, it dampens the awe of it all and it doesn`t answer any questions.

Plus its plain preposterous lol.

[iTruth]

Mr. Pete, it takes much much more "Blind Faith" to think that all this universe came from "NOTHING", than believing someone was out there to create it, that someone himself has to be "uncreatable", and that we believe, is THE ONE GOD.

[peteq1972]

who says for definate it came from nowhere? from nothing? not a single scientist says this, it may be batted around as an idea here and there but nothing is said for definate, i admit we don`t know HOW it began but that doesn`t mean by default that god did, u know that!

[intemperate7]

why is faith blind? i loved the video by the way but why give the universe a limit? 79 billion is still a limit

[cyberdaemon]

Even number with 79 billion zeros behind it is still a limited :D

[HidekiRevan]

it's as far as WE know it, for all we know it can be double triple or even more that size, can you imagine 79 billion light years if there was a full map of the universe, about the size of a football field, and then try to represent the 79 billion light years by barely touching the map with a sharp pencil.or hey, even if we would come to see as far as that map shows, it could still be bigger.We are nothing but tiny specs of dust (maybe not even close) for the universe...

[dragonzith]

79 billion is just as far as we have been able to see... same as saing the universe is 23 bill years old becouse that how far we were able to see and calculate end to end to the center point and figure thats how old the universe is.

[BismAllah99]

check this out ( The Amazing Qur'an ) it's on you tube

just check it out man : )

u can do it will deleting old files or sum thing

[Joounes]

First of all, almost every scientist in america are foreigners, so stop flatter yourself. Considering this fact that there are so many galaxies. Not only that, many of them are crossing each other, prooves 100 % ultimate design. This could'nt just start from nothing, and order is not created from disorder ..

[thErusteDbunnY]

If you disagreed with me about the government policy, we might argue it.

If you disagreed with me about economic policy, we might debate it.

If you disagreed with me about the interpretation of a poem, we might discuss it.

You do disagree with me about religion, but you say that I should be left to believe what I want to? That is silly.

[vivalaverve2822]

alhamdulillah

[StopLookAndLearn]

we are not alone

[whocareshater]

subhana allah

[lhooq21]

I like your video and Yes I agree with your statment under 'about this video.' I use atheist arguments when faced with christian hegemony in the US. That is a matter of creationists not leveing others to make there own decisions. That seems like the real problem.

[paulbottomley42]

Amazing. Absolutely amazing. Awe inspiring.

I really don't get why Allah would make all those extra galaxies just so we have something to look at when we finally invent an ultra deep field orbital telescope.

[MaxSafeheaD]

Stunning.

[gbcharlie]

I usually avoid documentaries with American narrators. Usually a sign of limited information being shared, but I enjoyed this brief one. Class Video 10/10.

[logan646]

your an idiot, americans are the most developed society and have the best scientists you tool. you just live in some shithole country like italy or mexico, or some overpopulated europuss country and just wish you could live in Zmerica, so you make fun of it because your dead inside. shut your fucking mouth or ill kill you.

[MELONfusion1]

ah the american sence of humour ,why are you so racist + you claim to be from THE MOST DEVELOPED society but you are a complete ass hole , i may be abusive in my language but my content is still valid ,your country is lying to you , sorry dudes if i bug any of you but god logan646 is an idiot , oh and always look at comments that people have labeled spam, there worth it

[shtosuka]

Awesome and very humbling indeed! But I don't understand the reference to Allah...?

[iTruth]

Allah is the creator of universe, thats why I referred. Its no problem for me if you reject to believe in the concept of Creation.

[Mekelsior]

iTruth: I accept that your Allah exist, but I do not worship him, nor do I believe your Allah is the creator. The creator of this universe is the God of Abraham, Isac and Jacob. Yhaweh for the Jews, and Yeshua for the Christians. Please, do not take my word for it, but compare the Bible with the Koran and see for yourself.

Peace and Love

[iTruth]

Allah is the God of Jesus too. Right? hmm. Check this:

[Hybird08]

Why one should belive in Bible when this Book is not its original text and language.

God sent four Books to us Psalm , Taurah ,Bible,and the last one is Qur'an.

Peoples made changes to those books.. so God sent those Books by His Massengers time by time.
