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

Carl Sagan stated that he's not very good at singing songs.

However, this is one of the best musical works since the beginning of time, and Sagan's the one singing most of it.

Ergo, there are two possibilities:

1. Carl Sagan is a liar (unlikely), or

2. This is not a song.

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.

@GENIUS4ALL

no it is not impossible

we have the technology to establish a colony on mars

however governments do not have an infinte source of money which is why i hope united states will pick nasa program back up if we dont then i hope russia or china will become successful so the human race can continue

[GENIUS4ALL]

I try to picture, how could it feel or even be, to walk on the surface of another planet. Even if it's impossible for now, it's surely one of my biggest dream; away from this earth on somewhere else...

The sky has called me...The Karman line represents my dad. If I could just fly along that line between Earth and Heaven for a while, I think I would be happy.

My astronomy teacher showed this to us last semester. I loved it so much. Carl Sagan was a great man and I would have loved to have been able to meet him.

Oh and great video btw. ;)

Whenever my mom says she's going to bake something from scratch now, I'm like

"If you wish to bake ____ from scratch, you must first invent the universe."

then she just gives me the "Screw off you're hurting my head with your science stuff.."

[copymizer]

when i sit alone and listen to this i'm almost crying because it's honestly beautiful. everything arounds us it all relates to the universe we live in
