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

It heartens me to see 60,000 likes and 700 some odd dislikes. Perhaps the world is not as doomed as the media would have me think, but rather, "the squeakiest wheel gets the grease." Spaghetti Monster bless Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and all the other advanced thinkers of our time. Whether alive or dead, you shall carry us to the Rising of the Milky Way.

carl sagan my inspiration even tho im only 12 :D

@LordSesshaku It's not a hypothesis. It's called Ke$ha's law. It states: any singer in the category of pop, hip-hop or rap, whose total monthly narcotics consumptions is superior to their weight on a body with the same mass as Sol, uses at least 90% auto-tune in any given song they produce.

While the hypothesis is named after the renowned auto-tune user and multi-drug addict, she's much to high to postulate it at any given time. It was conceived by a team of "crack" researchers at UC Berkeley.

[Truthsphilosophy]

This is some nerdy @ss Shiznat! But I love Carl Sagan! He was and is the man : )

[Glarium1]

@booyalakasha1 science alone already is a wonderful art :)

[greekosdarkness]

you know shit gets real when Sagan does a slow walk....

[Cronominite1]

@kylecpcs well said.

[jimmyphonghater]

"The brain has its own language for testing the structure and consistency of the world."  ENGLISH MOTHERFUCKER, DO YOU SPEAK IT?

[booyalakasha1]

Absolutely brilliant. I have a new favorite. Thankyou for taking the time to turn great science into wonderful ART!
