  • Carl Sagan is my favourite celebrity scientist still, but this analogy is much better than the cosmological calender in my own personal perspective.

  • Ironic...I wonder what Dawkins has to say about the theory of harmony, a natural phenomenon that carries implications of creation and natural order. The Greeks understood aesthetics as part of a created order. Its unfortunate that some people are blind to the very things that keep staring them in the face...

  • Noooooo!!! Yes? Really, really? Mm... Damn.

  • They couldn't tune the piano? ;)

  • great video, thnks

  • wonderful analogy!!

  • The titles given to this clip are misleading. He is describing time since the origin of life, not since planetary formation. Also note that he is using Darwin's piano in Down house ! Rather appropriate.

  • Plus magic.
