The Known Universe by AMNH

The Known Universe takes viewers from the Himalayas through our atmosphere and the inky black of space to the afterglow of the Big Bang. Every star, planet, and quasar seen in the film is possible because of the world's most complete four-dimensional map of the universe, the Digital Universe Atlas that is maintained and updated by astrophysicists at the American Museum of Natural History. The new film, created by the Museum, is part of an exhibition, Visions of the Cosmos: From the Milky Ocean to an Evolving Universe, at the Rubin Museum of Art in Manhattan through May 2010.

Play this without the audio. Instead, use Hans Zimmer - Time (Inception) (We Plants Are Happy Plants Remix). Prepare for an out of body experience

Why should we waste time on war and stupid limitations when our own existence is not even a flick to the Universe.

OUR LIVES ARE PRECIOUS!!!!! Far too short to wast on hate and fear....

Watch it with Jack Wall's "Vigil" from the soundtrack of BioWare's Mass Effect. It will be truly amazing...

Seeking the truth about life and death is the most important thing there is. If you seek you will find. For the truth about life and death search "Truth Contest" in Google and click on the 1st result, then open The Present and read what it says. Everyone needs to see this. The Present will turn this world right-side up if it reaches enough people.
