The beautiful intro to the Cosmos television series. Carl Sagan talks about the universe and our place within it.
*NOTE 2: It appears Koch Entertainment (now "E1 Distribution") doesn´t wish to pull the video after all. I just got a private message basically saying they used the content search feature to place ads on the videos. Sounds like a sound approach, so yeah, hope you DON´T go bankrupt in the recession I guess :) And sorry about my ill-informed comments.
*NOTE 1 (The following does NOT apply any more, please see note 2 for clarification): "Koch Entertainment" has just filed a copyright-claim against this clip, so I don´t know for how much longer it stays up. I´d like to thank you all for your ratings and wonderful comments. Finally, I´d like to say FUCK YOU KOCH ENTERTAINMENT, for trying to remove something that has probably made 100+ people go out and buy the series on DVD. I hope you go bankrupt in the recession. Cheers.*
If you like, please write them an e-mail and tell them clips like these have encouraged lots of people to buy the thing:

If all recordings of all TV shows faced destruction and only one show could be preserved, Cosmos is the obvious choice.

@lordcodicus its 13.7 billion years to the observable edge of the universe. The figure you cited is not the actual age of our universe.

Sagan says the age of the universe is unknown to ordinary human understanding. Not anymore Carl, 13.7 billion years. We will be doing things in twenty years said to be impossible, and learning the unknown.

@lordcodicus We will indeed, but I think you're misunderstanding Carl a little.
What he meant by "unknown to ordinary human understanding" was that merely stating that the big bang happened 13.7 bya means very little to people. You might as well say it's 32 Blaglock™.
Instead he would make wonderful use of analogy, like he did with the cosmic calendar in the same episode this clip is from, to put these things in an easier to understand perspective.
Do a search for it. It´s great.

@lugogustavo42 Actually, it´s "we are a way for the cosmos/universe to know itself", but I know what you mean. Blew my ducking mind too! :)
