  • I think if a species intelligent enough to ever reach earth, and come in contact with humans; they would realize everything is deeply connected, and therefore would make peace with us. Humans are still on the "dominate the land and people" mindset. If humans ever really want to explore the universe, we need everyone to realize we're all one species, and we should be taking care of each other.

  • You've just experienced what I like to call "The Carl Sagan Effect". :D

    When you begin to contemplate the sheer size of the Universe, that is. :D

  • @british123able Schizophrenia bullshit. The government doesn't control the populace with mind control.

  • 4:20 - Every time I hear this beautiful music from Vangelis, I think about Carl Sagan and I imagine him floating in space, his hands around our planet earth, saying to us, softly and gently: "Don't worry, everything is fine. You are not alone". I know, it sounds childish but this is my very naive homage for our friend Carl... :)

  • @Kibate - What about this - If there are advanced E.T. civilizations out there that have managed to monitor our feeble radio signals & make some sense out of them, assuming they're quick studies & can get a rudimentary understanding on our language. Then they conclude that this planet is a BIG ** lunatic asylum **, & they should stay away because we're a bad influence.

  • @ZaaaaaM7 To be fair, they might not be scared of our weapons, but of our aggresive nature. Maybe they advanced so much because they only knew peace, and so a planet where kids play pranks on each other, teenagers rebel against their parents, adults go to war etc., even if they don't have the same technology, such a society might cause more harm than the strongest weapon in the universe.

  • Stephen Hawking may be very smart and can predict alot of things but Carl Sagan is the man and he will live on forever.

  • @JasonDamisch Aliens who can travel between galaxies sure are scared of our weapons.

    Shit you are dumb.

  • R.I.P Dr. Sagen

  • Goldeneye!

  • The way i see it and will see for the rest of my life, the only answer i can get is that we are the first intelligent race in this universe. Nuff said.
