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

    @shackupyourstruly You keep using that word. I don’na think it means what you think it means.

    @shackupyourstruly …
    @shackupyourstruly Real data suggests teh red shift increases with distance from the Earth: Which is from interaction with antimatter. So real data, not theories.

  4. tsb124 says:

    @shackupyourstruly …
    @shackupyourstruly No, I believe you are incorrect. As faith is belief without evidence, if a scientist tries to dispute another theory without evidence, then he is not doing science. I believe you are mistaking faith with doubt, which is of course critical to the scientific method.

    Hey Christians we don´t care about your religious crap, enjoy this piece of art, instead of giving false hope to other humans, share this message to all the people you know, who cares about your merchandise called Jesus, we are sick and tired about this guy 2000 years of ignorance, please gives us some years to think and fluorish intelectually, only science can change the world, science and human unity, religion just gets the world wrong.

  7. Lolewhin says:

    @shackupyourstruly …
    @shackupyourstruly
    No. No faith is needed in the data or in the theories. Anyone with time and resources can double-check the data (which is the entire point). Anyone with the data to do so can challenge a prominent theory. Doubt is the required attribute, not faith.

    @shackupyourstruly “Numbers would be numbers no matter what the base is. 13 in decimal is x0D in hexadecimal, but they still ”

    Yes; even God. Probably we all know God, but we dont beleave in him because we dont beleave he is the religion’s god.

    @Chilledtea Science …
    @Chilledtea Science does need faith: faith the data collected is accurate, faith in the theories developed from that data, and faith to challenge a theory when believed necessary.

  11. shackupyourstruly says:

    @jebes909090 I …
    @jebes909090 I believe in God. I also believe in Science. They don’t necessarily contradict each other. There’s more to the Universe than can be reproduced in some lab. If you can’t have faith, at least have spirit. Spirit could be a supernatural force, completely natural, or something in between, whatever you believe gives you your strength and vigor.

    @JonThm maybe… Even scientists call some of what they do theoretical. They are theories based on the available current and historical data as they perceive them.

    @Walrusaurus I thought that, too, especially when it gets repeated, and even reversed: “whoop”"poo” “aww”.

    @belegulo Numbers …
    @belegulo Numbers would be numbers no matter what the base is. 13 in decimal is x0D in hexadecimal, but they still represent thirteen units.

    Time is fixed, with no black holes or big bang

    @guerrillap1mp Sure, it’s dated. It aired in ’80, and was filmed in the ’70s. Some people have parents who can’t remember the first run. The newer series are good, but I haven’t seen any as comprehensive, or charismatic, as Cosmos.
