Loved watching this show as a kid <3

How can ppl not be interested in this stuff? I try to tell my friends about black holes and pulsar stars and they just look at me like an idiot!? Like thinking about this is not cool or sumthing

[WarrenChu000]

@fertilizerspike So you claim you know more than the astronomers who all agree with the theory that the quasars are from an early stage of cosmic evolution?

[fertilizerspike]

@WarrenChu000

Astronomers are scientists. Scientists tend not to believe in things for which there is no evidence. Any researcher who thinks the term "early" even has any relevance in this universe is not a scientist, they are an astronoger. "Big bang" is an absurd creationist myth, not science. Further, anyone who is aware of the data and still clings to this idea that "quasars" are all incredibly distant (and therefore old) and more massive than observations suggest is an astronoger.

[WarrenChu000]

@fertilizerspike Your first 2 statements are certainly true. There is ample evidence for the Big Bang. Therefore astronomers are correct to believe the Big Bang theory and quasars are distant objects.

[fertilizerspike]

@WarrenChu000

There is no evidence that verifies "big bang". It is an absurd creationist myth that has been elevated gradually over time to the status of dogma. There is nothing scientific about ex nihilo creation, "big bang" is not science, it's essentially the genesis myth from the bible without mentioning god. It was invented by a belgian priest.

NGC 7319 is a galaxy with a higher "redshift" quasar in front of it. This falsifies "redshift = distance = velocity" as well as "big bang".

@fertilizerspike Did you eat lead-based paint chips as a child?

[WarrenChu000]

@zer0dahero Had you paid attention to the comments by the astronomers in segment 4 of this episode on quasars, you would realize that their hypothesis on black holes as the source of the energy in quasars have proven to be ENTIRELY CORRECT. What we know today about quasars are based on the research of these very same astronomers. Don't make comments about subjects that you are not knowledgeable about.

@zer0dahero I disagree, I've followed the space program for many years and I worked in aersopsace. While some information may be dated much is still relevant. I think for many because the show doesn't have a modern look to it they dismiss it's content. Yet I haven't seen another program that even comes close to its depth.

[beachnikk]

Just because these video's were made years ago the information is still relevant. As a matter of fact this was a college accredited course. It was well done and feature the actual astronomers themselves.

[WarrenChu000]

@beachnikk Thank you for your comment.

[toechesse]

Isn't it true that which we think is a circle if formed natural is really a spiral?

[spiralcosmosart]

@toechesse Sounds true.

[WarrenChu000]

@toechesse This comment makes no sense and has no relevance to this video.

This series of videos is great! I grew up with these learning astronomy in the 1980's. These videos were made in the late 1970's. These are outdated,yes, but still educational for the beginner. PBS and Nova have excellent recent shows on Astronomy (e.g. Quasars, Black Holes). It would be nice if they would update this show to present...Great to see it again though!! Thank you :)

[acegregory]

Yes it's an old video, about 1978 production date according to the trailer in part 4, but good for its time. If you have a better recent video on quasars, please upload it!

[Hustada]

I think this video is more ancient than the quasars themselves.

[WarrenChu000]

The astronomers in this video series are the ones that made the discoveries that allows us to understand what we know today about the universe. It is truly wonderful to hear them directly talk about it.

[WarrenChu000]

@Hustada Thank you for the absolutely useless comment.

[Hustada]

@WarrenChu000 Why does every comment HAVE to be useful? Just poking a bit of fun at the obvious age of this video. Not meant to offend anyone. Apologize if I did.

[WarrenChu000]

@Hustada Thank you. This series is a classic because of its comprehensive survey of astronomy. Although astronomy has made huge advances since this series was made, all the concepts presented are still completely relevant and unsurpassed in the way they are presented.

[Hustada]

@WarrenChu000 Regardless of their age, the content is very interesting. Thanks for posting Warren.

[Thymonico]

This smells VERY old.. When was this made?

[WarrenChu000]

@Thymonico I suggest you get your nose fixed.

I watched this show, Project Universe, on KCET or KOCE faithfully when I was a kid. What a treat it is to see a bit of it here.

[blusior]

Great video.Thank YOU
