My own musical tribute to two great men of science. Carl Sagan and his cosmologist companion Stephen Hawking present: A Glorious Dawn - Cosmos remixed. Almost all samples and footage taken from Carl Sagan's Cosmos and Stephen Hawking's Universe series.

RIP Dr. Sagan, you will be missed!!

Lyrics:

[Sagan]
If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch
You must first invent the universe

Space is filled with a network of wormholes
You might emerge somewhere else in space
Some when-else in time

The sky calls to us
If we do not destroy ourselves
We will one day venture to the stars

A still more glorious dawn awaits
Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns
The rising of the milky way

The Cosmos is full beyond measure of elegant truths
Of exquisite interrelationships
Of the awesome machinery of nature

I believe our future depends powerfully
On how well we understand this cosmos
In which we float like a mote of dust
In the morning sky

But the brain does much more than just recollect
It inter-compares, it synthesizes, it analyzes
it generates abstractions

The simplest thought like the concept of the number one
Has an elaborate logical underpinning
The brain has its own language
For testing the structure and consistency of the world

[Hawking]
For thousands of years
People have wondered about the universe
Did it stretch out forever
Or was there a limit

From the big bang to black holes
From dark matter to a possible big crunch
Our image of the universe today
Is full of strange sounding ideas

[Sagan}
How lucky we are to live in this time
The first moment in human history
When we are in fact visiting other worlds

The surface of the earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean
Recently we've waded a little way out
And the water seems inviting

  • @666Leosch Thanks.

  • @tyrongkojy Well, then all I can do is wish you fun with what you're doing ;-)

  • @666Leosch Sure they can, and I can fight it. If they don'tt want to give their real information 9I have no such issues) to claim they own the copyright, I win and get it back. An inconvienience at most. Or better yet I can tell him that people are claiming his copyright, and HE can sue. But someone can claim copyright on anything of mine, even stuff I made, so that's a moot point.

  • @tyrongkojy Can't anyone file such a complaint?

  • @666Leosch Only if he makes the claim. I mean yeah, he could eb a dick and randomly send a DMCA without even asking me to take them down first, and that's his right, but youtube isn't the ones sending the claims.

  • @tyrongkojy As if YouTube really cared. They take stuff down so often without asking weather people have permission.

  • @666Leosch Copyright? I asked permission. He said it's fine.

  • @tyrongkojy I see your Intentions are only the best. I wouldn't bother risking a copyright-violation strike for such a small impact personally, but I guess it's nice that you do. Have a nice life ;-)

  • @666Leosch Because not everyone manages to find his videos. This way there's more of a chance peopel will see it. It happens all the time. I'm always pointing people to his channel. I do so in the discriptions. I outright tell people when they praise me instead of him. The guy just before you, green66vw, hadn't seen his stuff before me, and may have never otherwise

  • @tyrongkojy Why would you mirror something on Youtube that you got from Youtube?
