Carl Edward Sagan, Ph.D. (1934-1996) was an American astronomer, astrochemist, author, and highly successful popularizer of astronomy, astrophysics and other natural sciences. He pioneered exobiology and promoted the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI).

He is world-famous for writing popular science books and for co-writing and presenting the award-winning 1980 television series "Cosmos: A Personal Voyage", which has been seen by more than 600 million people in over 60 countries, making it the most widely watched PBS program in history.

A book to accompany the program was also published. He also wrote the novel "Contact", the basis for the 1997 Robert Zemecki's film of the same name starring Jodie Foster.

During his lifetime, Sagan published more than 600 scientific papers and popular articles and was author, co-author, or editor of more than 20 books. In his works, he frequently advocated skeptical inquiry, secular humanism, and the scientific method.

I openly wept. No bullshitting, no being a smartass. Carl Sagan was one of those geniuses it will take a hundred years or more for humanity to ever see his like again.

[mrmattaus]

Awe inspiring. What an amazing man.

[fivequotes]

[AkselDog]

[HeyRuka]

I waited 24 years for this because I was taught to hate Carl Sagan...I was in tears before the intro music had finished, the first time I saw Cosmos episode 1.

@pimpolinka69

I was just wondering the same thing. There is something seriously wrong with people for something like that to happen.

[pimpolinka69]

How the hell this video has almost the same amount of negative marks as the positive ones?!

[DrThunder88]

The opening monologue is the best part of this phenomenally powerful and moving series.

[rnm1011]

The David Attenborough of Cosmology. An unparalleled communicator of wonder and awe.

[Krumbz2003]

Religious cowards votebotted this video down.

I don't know that for a fact... and I AM assuming but... who else would do it?

In fact they are one of the few "groups" on Youtube that use votebotting to beat the system.

But it's not just childish... there is a certain... ironically enough... evil to it all imo.

Anyways... Carl sure had a unique way of communicating his point and his knowledge of science was masterful. But... most importantly... he was personable. Very very personable.

We live such a pitiful handful of years, yet we have the potential to shine brighter than the stars. Sadly not many of us do, we struggle against our own selves in an age old conflict that never ends. People must grow up. Petty bickering and childish religious beliefs need to be shed like a foul skin we no longer require. Compassion and empathy followed by humble contemplation for who we truly are or could be. Ignorance and dogma are such tiresome thing's...
