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!!
This song is now out on 7" vinyl through Jack White and friends at Third Man Records! Check it out here:
[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 ---------------------------------------

As for the big crunch, it will eventually effect every piece of matter in the universe. It will be billions and billions of years before it happens. But when it does it will crunch the entirety of the universe back into a singularity. If you are in the universe at that moment, you are boned.
/watch?v=uyCkADmNdNo Very beautiful and poetic video describing the history and evidence of the big bang. In short 14 billion years ago everything in the universe, Matter, Tim, Space was condensed into one single point, smaller then an atom, in something called a singularity.
From the evidence, this singularity began to expand and over time the super hot material cooled down and gravity allowed for the formation of solar systems and galaxies.
@k87jury but where did the big bang occur, are we close enough to it, will our planet be "crunched", when will it happen, and when did we learn about this theory or fact that this will happen? I'm just curious.

Sounds like all the other stuff in the charts.
