[StargaezrToo]

@century172 how much did you get paid to say that? :D That's killer product placement

[agentham]

The fact that I'll never get to meet and know Carl makes me sad. =/

A Great Mind! A Great Man!

[danzinnyman]

[magicalgold010]

i like this video very much and i like carl sagan's voice and theory, but just for fun i am going to dislike it, no hard feelings guyz

[AsgardProductionsSE]

@magicalgold010

that made no sense xD

[sunhuts]

This is how all scientists should conduct themselves :) a true role model, humble, intellegent and inspired. Fantastic!

[CrackHeadForLife420]

0 people thought they dislike button said "DIS I LIKE"

[devolve42]

Love the analog synthesizers. Perfect.

[dkseaverns1]

Happy Birthday Dr. Sagan!

[Pilaf1984]

mmmm..globular clusters. Part of a balanced breakfast.

[ficklemcpickle]

Imagine living on a planet far above the disk of the Milky Way and watching that awesome scene as the galaxy rises above the horizon each night. And to think, there may be beings that get to see just that. Wow, just wow...

[iVideoCommenter]

Sagan looks like the king of the universe at 1:12.

[robman8855]

@iVideoCommenter sagan IS the king of the universe

[TheBuffy12]

I agree...I loved Carl, and miss him!!!

[orangeMandara]

I miss Carl.

[TheBuffy12]

@orangeMandara ...So do I!!!

[JeffToff]

The sweet thing about this clip is the excellent audio . . . recorded on the beach! It must be nice to have a physicist on the set.

[Skillydog21]

God loves Carl Sagan... We were not worthy of him but are forever thankful he was shared with us even if it was only for a moment

[yadda101]

All we are is dust.

[orangeMandara]

@yadda101

Duuuuuuuuuust in theeeeeeeee winnnnnnnnd

[noamees]

This was beautiful..

[RocketRoswell]

I dream about the spark of Carl's consciousness which has reconstituted with what i imagine to be a universal essence, that spark of life, something which is in all of us who are alive right now...watching this video and wondering, to me Carl Sagan was the universe, the cosmos talking, teaching me... His body may be long gone, but he's still with us, he is in all the stars now.

[johnmacward]

He is the Shakespeare of the cosmos.

[zzzIdividedbyzerozzz]

I love the galaxy rise part... its looks so so comforting for some reason.

[Acrimonator]

If only we hadn't lost centuries in vain wars and disputes, how far we could be now... Perhaps having outposts in all the solar system and even 1 or 2 colonies on some of the closest stars...

[thomaslarssomn]

@Acrimonator Christian Dark Ages took off about a thousand years. Don't forget that.

[thomaslarssomn]

@Acrimonator Christian Dark Ages took off about seven centuries. Don't forget that.

[banana1971]

@Acrimonator Not to be a wet blanket, but finding ways to better kill each other helped advance technology more than peace. Improvements in physics, metallurgy, and chemistry came from a desire to improve cannons/artillery. And as distasteful as it is, analysis of the Nazi V-2 rocket was a huge shortcut for the military US and USSR space programs.

[Acrimonator]

@banana1971 up to us to choose this not to be a fatality attached to mankind... The same being right about medicine wich improved largely on past battlefields...

[zzzIdividedbyzerozzz]

God - a superior being that requires daily worship from another group of inferior beings, and rules the universe with an iron fist. - Pure Fiction

God - the strong emotions conjured up by magnificent experiences; or actual Universe itself along with the laws of physics and mathematics. - Plausible or Fact

[MrIhatepeople12]

mispell guy not die D: RIP

[MrIhatepeople12]

He deserves to be an arrogant die. He deserves to be an asshole if u think of him as it. He deserves to be whatever he wants he is just an awesome incredibly smart person

[vagitoe]

I'm reading his biography right now for class. This man may have been an arrogant asshole, but he was also a fucking genius and he has my deepest respect.

[tjames229]

@vagitoe How was he an arrogant asshole? He seems like such a humble and well intentioned human being.

[vagitoe]

@tjames229 Well he beat his wife for one...

[Astrosimi]

@vagitoe

What? Where did you hear that!?

[vagitoe]

@Astrosimi I read his biography. It's called "Carl Sagan: A Life"

He also believed in Martians when he was a teenager, and fought against nuclear testing on the moon because he thought that we might contaminate the life present on it.

He was a weird guy, actually. I still love the guy though.

[linkrazr]

This whole series is on instant Netflix now. Go watch now!

[british123able]

carl sagans voice puts me in a trance, i think he himself knows his voice is powerfull

[WhenLilacsLast]

Professor Sagan's eloquence and distinctive diction draw one into the mysteries of the Universe

[goldfishboot]

this man quite possibly smoked a bowl in this field before filming.

[DrWinstonRelthford]

Probably not!!!

He probably smoked a joint.

[demover7]

/watch?v=zSgiXGELjbc

amazing video

[bruenor82]

the rising of the milky way....

[FissionNonStop]

i love the galaxy rise picture, that would be just spectacular to see myself.

[paulio2293]

you can see one, check out the nearby galaxies (if you have a telescope). Andromea is almost visible to naked eye. Thats 1 trillion suns right there

[Defiant5555]

Best case scenario, grammatical errors are technical flaws. Technical flaws are a result in a lack of training and standards, not intelligence. If you confuse apparent technical flaws as lack of intelligence you may loose the ability to nurture and positively influence a new generation. Carl Sagan was a master of approaching refinement of ideas through his character and open minded sentiments. A lesson that should be remembered.

[PJW1269]

Indubidably. Agree 100%. Honest mistake, no indication of intelligence.

Couldn't resist a barb, though. It was just too ironic to pass up. While we're at it, though I just have to mention: it's "lose", not "loose" in your usage above. Sorry!

[alikill]

Carl sagans voice makes me happy

[Gamajh]

@alikill He does have a very soothing voice, if his knowledge or wisdom were not enough for the Cosmos series then the voice he has topped it.

[Chocolate9897]

@alikill

ya it makes me smile

[MathcoreMatt]

@alikill haha same with my freind and me.

[astrolifter]

@alikill Why?

[astrolifter]

@alikill And you worship this fag because?

[drfunk444]

@alikill

It should make every Yuman happy

[MikeDecipher]

Carl Sagan is a believer...

And you don't have to believe in God to be a believer; just Romance, and not hopeless romance.

[philip1201]

Would the galaxy really be bright enough to be that visible? I mean, even on earth with all the galaxy focused in one line, it's not even visible within 5 kilometers of a town or city at night. With the light of the galaxy dispersed over a disk, it should be even less visible.

[Ypipable]

Don't get too close to the scarecrow...it's on fire.

[Ypipable]

If Carl Sagan was alive today he'd whack some of more blahzhay climatologists into the next century...

[whoaitstiger]

Luckily we still have Chavez to hand out the arse-whoopings lol.

[JONNOG88]

Watching this makes me want to study Physics and Cosmology.

[alnvnc]

RIP NIGGA

[migizi52]

We are "Star Dust"

[Viconiuz]

A great man who lives on in our hearts forever.

[bpiddington]

We will never know everything there is to know, and if we arrive at what we think is the bubble of ultimate truth, there is no way to know if there is a bubble of truth beyond that. Also, since everything depends on how we define it, and we all define things differently, nobody will ever know what everyone else is really talking about; all we can do is stand in awe and ponder the universe in which we live.

[Hashishin13]

By that kind of logic we are all going to die so why bother to do anything to try to prolong your life? The answer is obvious because doing so will provide us with more benefit in the long run.

Flowery thinking pisses me off, there's nothing flowery and overly idealistic about what Carl Sagan says and he is still incredibly profound...

[bpiddington]

Its not flowery. Your attitude about "why bother" is a universally negative thought. The whole idea is, we don't know, and the search for truth is far greater then actually finding it.

[krisescloset]

Because i'm sure everyone that trys to learn would die in vain knowing our next generation get's dumber, not smarter.

[PJW1269]

A perfect example of a generation getting dumber: putting an apostrophe in "gets".

[PJW1269]

...not to mention spelling "Blase" (needs an accent on the 'e') as "Blahzhay".

[krisescloset]

how arrogant...

[PJW1269]

Not arrogance, just a good old-fashioned burn. I've taken plenty of similar lumps myself; just meant in good fun.

B^)

[strijkbout12]

@PJW1269 you're a perfect example of ignorance in not seeing a language evolve.''old'' people see it as getting dumber, modern science proved otherwise which means we are evolving in our language, simply adapting to our surroundings.

[PJW1269]

Dude--I completely understand language changes over time. But please explain how putting an apostrophe in a verb is an example of a language "evolving". Apostrophes separate possessive from plural; what are the new rules of engagement for putting them in a word that currently has NO REASON to be near one?

[PJW1269]

What a load of dingo's kidneys!

Why can't people ever admit when they've made a mistake? And why are people who point out the mistake attacked for it? By your argument, I can decide to "evolve" the traffic rules by yielding when I should stop, stopping at a green light, and turning left on red. We have grammar rules for good reasons; let's use 'em. There's a difference between "language evolution" and just a plain old error.

[PJW1269]

Now, "Blahzhay", on the other hand--that I can see. That's kinda cool. But it was just another opportunity I couldn't pass up.

All meant in good fun, folks!

Peace!

[JBwizzy92]

wow

[joncosm]

so what !

[Chaturgha]

I just wish I knew of this man's existence when I was in school. I heard of his name but never cared until I turned 21. I questioned faith all my life but never became atheist until I studied religion in depth and its history when I was 18.

If I knew of this show's existence when I was younger, I would have been an atheist much sooner.

[OneManArmy99]

He wasn't atheist, he was agnostic. He said he didn't know enough to be an atheist.

[Chaturgha]

I'm an atheist in the way that disinfectants clean 99.9% of germs.

Always a possibility.

[XenMonkey13]

But he also said that he didn't see a need for a god.

[OneManArmy99]

which doesn't mean he didn't completely disbelieve that there is one, agnostic means you can't prove that there is one.

[XenMonkey13]

No, Agnostic means you don't know, not "can't prove".

Also yes, he did reject the notion of "god". He was Atheist in the Theistic sense.

If you say that God is some creature/person on a throne, pulling the strings of the cosmos, which there is no evidence to support, then Carl, like myself, reject that notion based on nothing to support it.

Now if you say that "god" is the combined laws of nature and science, then I, like Carl, believe in that "god".

It all depends on the definition of "god".

[rumidom]

wtf bro.

[CutieBabe25]

Carl Sagan knows how to illustrate the beauty of the universe so well! Awesome!

[astrolifter]

@CutieBabe25 He sucks

[2plus2is9]

Super! Carl The Man.

[killerbandit]

EPIC!

[Ievolovel]

I can prove their is no god...

Carl Sagan died.

[danuu2]

there*

[Ievolovel]

You got me, bro.

[danuu2]

Constructive critisism, dawg.

[MrAppleby56]

cool story, bro!

[Ievolovel]

We are there children.

[triczka]

So many egregious grammatical errors presented by Atheists. I thought you folks fancied yourselves "enlightened."

LMFCAO

[CyrisAeon]

I can't speak for us all, but I think we prefer "unfettered".

I can speak for myself when I say that I am, regrettably, often also unfettered by grammatical and spelling restrictions as well ;)

Lastly, I can speak utter truth when I say neither theists nor atheists can claim a monopoly on good grammar. And that flaming someone for bad grammar is one of the most obvious and petty trollings on the internet.

[triczka]

Was it trolling? I was simply addressing a presupposed argument by Atheists that they are intelligent, mostly in contrast to Theists who are "ignorant."

I like your proposal though, that perhaps we should address our differences "intelligently," rather than setting up straw-man adversaries and assuming delusional superlatives.

However, I think I'd rather be an obnoxious Youtube troll than to be one who, ironically, is living in a fantasy world.

[triczka]

Eloquence. Elegance. Was one of those what you were going for there? You're not doing much for your prefabricated argument.

Is there no one else?

[MWcrazyhorse]

lol ok you got me. eloquence.

[DemokritosAbdera]

And you show how respectul and intelligent are theist by... using slang and making fun of people that probably speak 1 or 2 more languages than you.

[triczka]

I never said I was a Theist, I just said you Atheists, as opposed to Agnostics, are absurdities.

Your "rebuttal," case in point, is an absurdity.

The Pope knows 8 languages. Obviously by your logic there must be a God.

[DemokritosAbdera]

yea, and do you get that my comment was that if you pick by grammatical errors for people that are writing in their second or third language you must be a genius...

amazing how people in US believe the world is US, kinda wonder place where creationist are mayority ...

[DemokritosAbdera]

And i really dont care what you believe, your arguments are a flatery to your "Intelligence"... kinda mental onanism...

[triczka]

Those to whom I was replying are US citizens. There is no excuse for them.

You however, cannot speak English, so one would think you wouldn't make a lingual claim of superiority.

I imagine you speak modern Greek. Fine; a superfluous language as far as global affairs go, but what else can you speak?

As an American I speak English, the foremost international language, and German, which is number 3.

Is there anything useful about you and your "abilities?"

[1RadicalOne]

Jesus Christ - enough of the flame war.

[TwistedComplex]

There's a difference between enlightened and intelligence

[gomddrummer]

That was the first time I have ever seen a cow run.

[sacan1]

lol yeah. but i used to see them all the time on diablo 2....

lol if anyone gets that....

[wall2wall99]

Thank goodness 4 people like Carl Sagan. He was 1 of the great inspiring intellects, of the last generation. He defied religious dogma BS that has & still dominates human-kind, with elegance. Fortunately there's still some, who do not believe thy know everything & also know what to believe. If you get my drift?

[delbert0504]

Carl Sagan gave science such an elogance.

[animusf6]

Science is inherently elegant. Carl Sagan gave science eloquence.

[delbert0504]

I'm sorry I meant to say elegance.

[Ofarimlover]

stil a thrill to be part of his circle of wonderers...along the galactic way.

He so led us to understand far more than us ordinary Human Beans usually get to in our mediocre educational system.

Jerry Long

[Passenger87]

Such wise words... I love watching and listening what he had to say.
