Sir Martin Rees: Earth in its final century?
Loading...
Uploaded by TEDtalksDirector on Apr 15, 2008
http://www.ted.com In a taut soliloquy that takes us from the origins of the universe to the last days of a dying sun 6 billion years later, renowned cosmologist Sir Martin Rees explains why the 21st century is a pivotal moment in the history of humanity: the first time in history when we can materially change ourselves and our planet. Stunning imagery of cosmological wonders show us the universe as we know it now. Speaking as "a concerned member of the human race," Rees harkens to the wisdom of Einstein, calling for scientists to act as moral compasses, confronting the coming developments and ensuring our role in "the immense future."

@frank0067 I hope you realize that most intelligent people who read your comment are laughing at you.

@frank0067 you are so dumb. he was hypothesizing that if there were a group of aliens watching our planet this is what it would have looked like. in no way was he saying that that has been the case. it's called a demonstration you idiot. like, did you seriously not get that part? haha wow.
-
@frank0067 No "we" don't. Just because you're an American (you can wonder how I figured that one out) with too much unjustified self-esteem doesn't mean that your -or your small town congregation's- assertion that the Universe is 5000 years old, is on par with Science. Owning a keyboard doesn't give you an equal vote to people like this scientist.

wowo this guy is not very up on whats going on.. the sun is not 6 billion years old.. nor wil it be here billions of years ahead..
when ever you see a darwinist giving a so called sientiific speech realize he has a politicle agenda..

..ok you get my point

You know, you could create and write your own religion now. Like the Bible, Quran and all. Then after like 500 years, some narrow thinker might find it and spread it and it would be another religion on its own!
