Our Place in the Universe - Carl Sagan



Uploaded by: Gabebro1
Video Description:
A look at our place in the Universe. An edited version, taken from the award winning TV series "Cosmos", by American Astronomer, Carl Sagan.
Here we look at our place in the Universe, and find that we are in no way, the center of our Universe, ...we are not even the center of our own galaxy, the Milky Way;....nor our own solar system.
It is only a delusion, to kid ourselves that the stars rise and set for us. That we are the reason there is a Universe.
I believe Carl Sagan said it best when he says "The Universe is not suppose to be in perfect harmony with human ambition."
Carl Edward Sagan was an American astronomer and astrochemist and a highly successful popularizer of astronomy, astrophysics, and other natural sciences. 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.

If the flood did actually occur, you could expect to see rabbits and velociraptors in the same layer.

I wish only that Carl Sagan were presently here with mankind.

well, if you actually understood anything about the theory of evolution, you would know that one single change would take millions of years of mutations and natural selection to occur.
So of coarse ever since humans have walked the earth, they have not evolved. But we are the evolved products of the ones before us called Neanderthals. Have you ever seen a Neanderthal skull? Maybe you should take a look some time.
Oh, so you are ... ( 1 month ago by lfil28)
Oh, so you are admitting that you believe based on consensus of others that also have no clue what their talking about.
How do you know all of this? If you were to talk to any African or Indian tribe they would all tell you stories of tree gods and sun gods. The bible is such a load of crap. It was clearly written by man at a time where the only way people could know anything about the universe was to take wild guesses and believe in things like....gods.

What a truly inspiring man Carl Sagan was. I watched "Cosmos" as a child and it memorized me.

It is the ultimate ... ( 1 month ago by freethinkerbell)
It is the ultimate arrogance to believe that humans are any different from other animals. You theists are like children who are told that santa clause does not exist. Refusing to accept it, out of fear you wont get presets anymore.

Actually, lifespans, mental capacity and wisdom have been increasing.

Nah, the Christian world might revolve around your imaginary friend, but Hindus, Buddhists Taoists (etc. etc. etc.) certainly do not.
well, even ... ( 1 month ago by EleventhHourEvidence)
well, even scientists agree or say that "it seems our planet and actually the entire universe was 'created' having HUMAN / MAN in mind"... what does that tell you? maybe it's arrogance, but if it's true then it's no longer arrogance.... and when you say it's arrogance, who are we insulting by saying humans are different than other animals? r we insulting the monkeys, elephants, etc? i know who you're insulting when you're saying that humans are NOT different than any other animals.
That's only if you ... ( 1 month ago by EleventhHourEvidence)
That's only if you believe in evolution, starting small, dumb, cave man, then reaching the point where we are...

I don't BELIEVE in evolution, I accept it based on evidence.
And yes, we have been seeing a regular progression in brain size. We have also been seeing a regular progression in lifespan (unless you count the US where 90% of the people gorge on unhealthy foods and become obese).
We aren't different ... ( 1 month ago by P0werw1se)
We aren't different from any other animals. Intelligence advantages like ours (us being far smarter than dolphins, elephants and other apes) are not the biggest ones in nature. Compare a monkey to an ant.
You know, you ... ( 1 month ago by EleventhHourEvidence)
You know, you people (or us people) are living proof that God exists, because every single one of you including myself, AMAZE me, not to mention all other life with its intricacies... we're simply amazing, in all we are and all we do, say, think... i wish i could explain further, but i wont... everyone will take this the way they want, they will agree or attack it, and devour it every which way.... so be it... i've said my part...

That would mean you believe in it, as I do.

Nice video! I forget which episode of Cosmos this was from though...
I only wish there were more people like Carl Sagan in this universe.

The numbers are incomprehensible, really, but when he phrases it like this: "... a universe with more galaxies than people", it's even more so.
It's staggering. Wish I could've met him.
We just don't know, ... ( 2 weeks ago by Ecnomic)
We just don't know, can't you accept that? And as long as we don't know, you can't just believe something. It's a good thing to believe, but better believe in yourself, that you're going to be fine or that you'll be able to solve every problem, that faces you in your life, how about that? If you believe in god, you want to much. Face the truth, and the truth is, that we don't know. God doesn't help us to make this world a better place, it's up to us!

I only wish there were more people like Carl Sagan on this planet.
