Lose Worry Through Wonder

"Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." - Carl Sagan

"We are in the Universe and the Universe is in us." - Neil deGrasse Tyson

"We are a way for the Cosmos to know itself." - Carl Sagan

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.

You are made up of the atoms of this universe from a massive exploding star long ago, you are this universe, and your consciousness is able to conceptualize the extreme vastness of this universe. You are the universe perceiving itself, realizing it exists. I think that makes our existence seem pretty big, even though in terms of solely material, we are small.

Thank you so much for making this video. It was wonderful and perfect music choice. There is just something about that song, it's just perfect to my ears. It is just simply amazing to think about... that we are apart of something so big and extraordinary. I'm filled with this overwhelming feelings of awe. I want to go out there a discover more. There is just so much out there, a majority of people don't even realize. Life is truly a beautiful thing that should be cherished.

"That's home... On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering... every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam." -Carl Sagan

If we think Life doesn't exist out there, we are fooling ourselves !!

And we are selfish enough to think that all of this was created for us! we are a part of the universe and not vice versa.
