Cosmos: A Personal Voyage
With Cosmos, Carl Sagan and his wife and co-writer, Ann Druyan, brilliantly illustrated the underlying science of his same-titled book, placing the human species within a space-and-time context that brought the infinite into stunningly clear view. The series, which originally aired in 1980 on PBS, has been seen by more than 700 million people worldwide and remains a high-water mark in miniseries history.
Sagan lucidly explains such topics as Einstein's theory of relativity, Darwin's theory of evolution, and the greenhouse effect, bringing the mysteries of the universe down to a layman's level of understanding. The footage in these remastered, seven-DVD or seven-VHS sets is as fresh and riveting as it was two decades ago and is certain to fire the imaginations of a whole new generation of viewers. This is THE GREATEST television series ever.
This documentary inspired me to a love of science, learning, and freedom of inquiry that have shaped both my interests and intellectual curiosity. Of the hundreds of high-quality science doc series released in the interim, none approach the majesty and depth of this one. An elegant and artistic enterprise for a well-organized, self-correcting way of reasoning and thinking about the universe/time we occupy. After a quarter of a century, this series is as captivating as it is an education.

One of the greatest works of TV.
I first watched this series nearly 30 years ago when I was 12 years old. It still has a profound quality that gives the veiwer a sense of 'what its all about'.
Carl Sagan always seamed at ease with everything.
Carl Sagan was my dad's man for knowledge of the cosmos and I didn't understand why,but now I see how he explains micro-biology to the most massive things in the universe with an elegant ease to the normal everyday 40 hr. worker.Pass your knowledge down to your children and watch your bloodline bloom.PEACE
yo vladko keep going! i'm proud of you boy;P i luv cosmic and stuff movies...maby some alex filippenko lectures ? they are wicked as well...greet's m8
This is a great series. Carl Sagan is my hero. Wish he was still around. Thanks Vlatko!
Yes. He is my hero, also. I still miss him. he made these things attainable for eveyone. He put it in our hands and our hearts. I sign all my emails: Carl Sagan - weather is fine. WIsh you were here. So does Stephen(Hawking)
Still great after all these years. A source of enlightenment many years ago on television in Ireland and still so valid (mostly).
I'm having trouble with first video. The play button doesn't do anything and when I mouseover the frame none of the controls show up. Anyone have a suggestion?
vlatko you rock!
thanks for the egypt doc recommendation, most interesting thing ive seen in ages-
cool! thanks a ton vlatko
I saw this series when I was a kid... it shaped my life and I was in tears watching it again... Amazing. Carl Sagen... thanks so much. It is still so relevant too... I wish there was a new version for the coming generation. The narrativeis so non condascending, so pure... i love this. thans TopDocs. this has trully touched me.
Easily the best thing I ever saw on Nigerian TV. My Mom used to videotape Cosmos whenever it came on (I was 12 at the time). Carl Sagan was a bigger hero to me than Michael Jackson!
...and that was saying a lot for a kid. He was the reason I became a math geek and felt no shame about it then!
recently, I found a poor transfer to DVD and saw the whole series again... and again... I get a lump in the throat when I hear him say the words "billions and billions...".
Wish we still had him with us.
i agree with all the previous comments.
What a likeable follow this Sagan chap is. He could tell me that the Earth was rhombic dodecahdron shaped and i would want to believe it.
Great visuals and dreamy commentary. Surprising how well this doc has aged.
Thank you Carl.
Tip for all fans, The special edition dvd-boxset includes 7 discs and some episodes feature "updates" in which a noticably older Carl Sagan explains how certain projections were either off or right on the money.
Cost me €25 and was totally worth it.
His novel "Contact" spawned the blockbuster of the same name as well, even his name chimes with wisdom.
In YouTube you can find the series with the updates. But, if you find it on DVD/Blue Ray, buy it. We need to buy billions and billions of them.
Carl Sagan - You are greatly missed.
I've bought the 7 disc special edition, best investment ever.
I was pleasantly surprised by how much my country and it's people have contributed to astronomy/cosmology simply by being open-minded and not repressed by religion (I'm dutch).
I've been looking around for the book to see if it contains any info that was ommitted from the dvd's, but judging by the amount of content on the discs, it seems unlikely. I'll still take a copy if I come across it though.
Michio Kaku and Ray Kurzweil, while charismatic and knowledgeable in their own right, simply can't hold a candle to Carl Sagan in terms of delivering excitement for their respective passions.
I never did much researh into Carl Sagan's work and ideas until very recently . I did some reading and watched about 4 hours worth of this and have to say that he has exceeded expectations for me. I will continue to dig further into the knowledge presented to us from Sagan and others like him.
" Our species needs, and deserves, a citizenry with minds wide awake and a basic understanding of how the world works." - Carl Sagan
this is great. can't thank topdoc enough for uploading this. gotta download all the episodes. :p
The guy is great but all the stuff he's talking about is simple and
All the stuff he's been tlaking about in those documentaries is really simple, im surprised most people didnt know it and needed an "easy talking" guy to do it for them. People seem to be in love with this guy because of his simplicity, i tried, I REALLY did try to find him aww inspiring, but I just didnt see anything great, just a guy talking about the universe and otehr things, maybe people like his voice? Just my opinion, i dont need a reply coz i never come back and check my comments.
I'm going to watch this series based on Vlatko's raving suggestion/review he mentioned on another docs comment section. That and it just seems like a great way to expand a 3lb lump of matter.
One of the first links on a Google query for "Carl Sagan" lead to brainy quotes. The first quote listed hints that Carl and I could be connected... Not that we all aren't connected.
"A celibate clergy is an especially good idea, because it tends to suppress any hereditary propensity toward fanaticism. "
Ok then, kitten , tell me the rules of Newton and its relation to Eienstein and universal law , how does that work?
Simple? Its a free course for the younger and is all about basics. Have to know where you stand , ID maybe?
Please respond to my question , for I am awating your explanations of the simple rules of mechanics , and the origins of the universe_ ..you being the one of all things physical.
I would guess there are many children of the eighties who went on to careers in science or at a minimum with a life long interest in it as a result of this masterpiece.
"I REALLY did try to find him aww inspiring, but I just didnt see anything great, just a guy talking about the universe....."
Amazing on so many levels.
I miss him!
I used to watch this program as a kid, and have recently re
-discovered it. AWESOME! :)
The uniqueness of Carl Sagan is in making intricate problems look simple, trivial. Do not underestimate the greatness of his mind. Try explaining to your three years kid not to pour water in your laptop, and why. Then you'll understand Sagan's work.
Just about to rewatch this absolute classic. Thanks so much for posting this and reminding me of it. This should be required viewing for everyone capable of understanding it (and that's most people I think, it's very approachable).
Carl Sagan is definitely one of my heroes.
Carl Sagan is my hero. he seems to me the first truly modern scientist in the way he thinks and the areas he focuses his atention. i am only 17, so i never saw these when they first came out, but ive still made a point of watching every Carl Sagan video i could find. R.I.P.
ends at Episode 8 part 5 of 7. Hope to see the rest one day as this is brilliantly done considering the time he produced it. Can hardly wait until my son is old enough to grasp it to share it with him.
If you can say everything in that doc should be known you did not watch it. Way too many topics, Theories, concepts etc etc to say one should be able to know it all and not need Sagan to tell us about it. If we all knew it dear you would see the difference in your world when you stepped out your front door.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that gets nostalgic, weepy and chills when I see this again - reaching for the tissues...what is it that does it to us? Thank you Mr. Sagan, I wish that you were not 'gone too soon'.
I just watched the whole thing for the first time, and I am truly awed. Even though I generally am not a fan of "older" TV broadcasts and videos, Cosmos is truly amazing. This must be one of the greatest documentaries ever made, I am having a hard time finding words for it. Hopefully I can share this with my children when the time comes.
Mr. Carl Sagan, I truly admire and miss you.
This is truly dreadful. I managed to endure a whole 9mins of it before the music and the saccharin grandiloquence had me reaching for a bucket. How did anyone ever take this guy seriously?
lol @ el-duderino. you are in a sad state of affairs if you cant listen to one of the most brilliant lucid men in history explain to you the intricacies of the cosmos, just because it lacks modern music and modern forms of filming.
maybe you could focus more on the information than the entertainment and you will find a whole new world open up to you.
I've got something in my hand... what is it?.......
It's the Carl Sagan box set and Im buying it right now!! Everyone in the world should be forced to watch this at least once a year!! I hope someone somwhere saved some of this guys DNA so someday in the future we can fuse it with a dandelion and an apple,and create Carl-Sapple-lion=GOD! I love this man, with his funky eyebrows and cordurouy jackets!!
namaste mr sagan i need not comment on ur work. flawless id say and an inspiration to us all who have the will to think outside the box an 1 day hopefully rid this planet of greed an control i believe its possible but 2 many of us are brainwashed an what makes it worse is its from our own kind. vlatco you the man u have opened my eyes through your work thanks pal.
Wow!!! this brings back memories from watching it on PBS quite a few years ago. Carl Sagan is probaly one of the most influential people of the 20th century. I thing I most enjoyed is his child like wonderment of our exsistence in the universe. RIP Carl and may your ideas live on with us for a very long time.
Truly THE Groundbreaking documentary of it's time. Remember waiting with bated breath every week for the next episode on PBS.Inspiring to say the least.Probably the reason I lurk on this site constantly looking for science and astronomy doc's. We all miss you Carl.
Wow, how fantastic was and will always be Mr. Carl Sagan.
This is really good stuff, my first time watching it.
I can not believe that some school districts in the US are essentially banning the teaching of evolution....totally insane.
Like Carl said even back then....evolution is fact, not theory.
Why does Carl Sagan keep leaning on things all the time. Like, go watch the episode where he goes back to New York. The dude just leans on everything. Funny as hell.
Plus, any british people here think that Carl Sagan is almost a double of Alan Partridge?
Thank you for putting this up! This made me cry with tears of joy, and want o hug Carl Sagan.
The greatest series ever made to intrigue man into wanting to go visit the stars!
truely an amazing human
although - he sort of looks like spock... O_o
spock = clearly based on carl sagan,
it's only logical....
great series, love the perspective.
Not for nothin but Ann's opening about how things are so much better today
because the Cold war is over is just completely incorrect. USSR military capabilities were routinely inflated in the 70s & 80s (Watch the doc, New American Century on this site) because there was, and still is, so much profit for the corporate elite in bomb-making. Then we had the phony war (Vietnam) as an extension of the cold war.. and now these terrible wars (over a million dead) and phony 'War on Terror'. in reality, a War of Terror - ALL in the name of profit
A fine look at how far we've come, and how great our potential. Gives me hope that one day we might shed our politics, money, and wars, and for the first time truly live. We've billions of years of inheritance, and abundant, clean, renewable energy. The question has never been "what will it cost" for it has only been, and only ever will be "Can we, with what we have?" And that answer is yes.
Carl Sagan is a true legend, R.I.P
Hooray for Carl Sagan! His was the greatest of scientific minds: loving, rational, patient, and reverent towards the awe of which we are participants in. Earth needs another couple million of people like him.
I had ˜8 y/o but I can clearly remember my anxiety to get close to a TV the friday nights when it was broadcasted for the first time in Buenos Aires in the 80's (heh, no VCR at hand!)
It was a life changer.
I, as many others, have Carl in my hart and mind.
Whenever you need to put things in perspective, Cosmos or his "A Pale Blue Dot" will do.
Our species has accomplished so many scientific feats. There are still many unanswered questions, and the ones we have now may be laughed at generations from now.
It is unfortunate that we see nothing like this on television anymore. It is very sad, and says a lot about our modern society. If this trend continues, what will our offspring be watching three generations from today?
this documentary helped me to see clearly the world and the universe and also feel so much sorry for future of earth and our lives.
Simply my favourite documentary series of all time...Carl Sagan is a hero
Winston is correct. Sadly, the people of Earth suffer from the same maladies as ever; greed, theft, lust, and the like sin, sins which give birth to endless wars, murders and cruelty. To the extent that men have abandoned their Creator, and His fair and simple laws, we drift ever more toward Armaggeddon. Man has never changed.
I do enjoy the completeness of the series, but as a non-American I never quite understand what the fascination with the Cosmos series is. Personally, I can't stand the memorial tone. Conversely, BBC Horizon is always full of anticipation. I also don't like having all of science tied to a particular personality. When it comes to topic outside his own area he makes mistakes. His explanation of the evolution of crabs with faces through human selection seems ridiculous given the tiny amount of food these crabs would provide, the fact that they live in the wild, and the irrational selection process. Sagan's skepticism seems to have abandoned him there. It's just a case of pareidolia.
You have deeply misunderstood artificial selection and the manifestation of genetic mutation.
Pareidolia..hmm.. and I suppose most of our domesticated farm animals and crops have just just fluked their way into the forms that they have become today..wake up Jack.
As for Carl's memorial tone,it's a pity a lot more orators don't take a leaf from his book.Over the top,rambunctious,in your face,seems to be the order of the day now.
It was and always will be a cornerstone on how a good educational and entertaining documentary series should be done.
R.I.P Carl loved your style man.
I am fascinated by way Carl Sagan brilianly puts up the ideas about the universe and beyond..... in such a lucid and comprehensible way.
There is only ever going to be one Carl Sagan,but we have his prodigy.....Brian Cox.It has taken 30years but the successor has arrived.Both explain the beauty ad complexity of nature like no others,and with enthusiasm which is both infectious and inspiring
I too am from Europe, what's more interesting from ex-Yugoslavia but I grew up with Cosmos... it was broadcasted in ht e 80s, even though we were a communist country...
And loved Carl Sagan then as a kid and later... I actually just called my mum to tell that I found a great site where they have whole series online...
I don't get what's not to like about this kind and humane person or his style of presenting things...
As for accuracy of certain statements... it's good to know that this was made in 70s and we didn't know what we know today.
This is truly a wonder fully series! It is interesting to see how much more we know (now today) and how much he know (I think he was gem ahead of his time).
Carl Sagan was one of the earlier scientists that had a vastly profound effect on my life! He was genius in everything he did and we lost this great man much too soon at the mere age of 62. We deeply miss you Carl . . .
Love this! Thanks so much for posting Vlatko.
R.I.P Carl, wherever you may be....
Epic intro, change the hostage situation to the economic crisis and it's still very actual. Carl Sagan was a pioneer of truth in our age. I will remember him.
Greatest show ever! Seriously! Stop your internal dialogue and accept this as fact! If you can't watch this show again and you'll come to this conclusion.
Let it be my pleasure to welcome a hyppie on board.
llmaam ol
very silly documentary, if we fly over the cosmos it wont look like how we see it from earth
Just beautiful.
thank you Carl, u rescued my from darkness
O so you base your judgement on this single view of yours - Lets not forget when they made this documentary it was before they had the technology of today, and so for it's time this documentary was quite factually educational. Bet you could not do any better at the time because 1. You were not born. 2. even if you were born I believe it doubtful weather a T.V production company would of felt inspired enough by your comments of "silly" to employ you! - Carl Sagan is a man of great intellectual influence which is more than I can say of you, indeed who are you anyway? - I have never heard of you? -Perhaps this is because there is nothing much interesting going on in your head at the moment.! Goodbye
Actually, James Irvine, I agree the beginning of the documentary when he is in that space ship is a bit silly but the rest O.K... O and forgive me - I sure you do have some inspiring thoughts from time to time LOL.
The rich holding back evolution since, idk they had all the books burned
Carl was also glaringly wrong about some thing. He believed that the cannabis that he enjoyed smoking would be sold in shops to adults long before he would die
I love this guy, I remember watching Cosmos Sunday evenings on PBS as a boy, it was my introduction to the wonders of the universe.
@ bud_oracle - He was pretty much right lol, 1996 he died and was also the year Prop 215 was passed in CA. I would not call that glaringly wrong.
I think that above and beyond everything else, Mr. Sagan is very likely one of the greatest teachers the world has ever seen. I also think its safe to say that he had more students than any other teacher. And just from looking at some of the comments here, his students continue to attend, and there are new ones enrolling. When you consider that this is taking place right now in real time, and he's not even here with us, then the reality of what I just said begins to have truly cosmic implications. (I promise that no pun was intended there, but you can take it like one if you want. it won't hurt anyone.)
And look at what his students are saying about him. How many other teachers do you know whose students rave about them the way Sagan's do about him? I really do not like using the word "miracle" especially of all places on a page that has one of his vids posted. But that's the word that comes to mind.
There are comments here that mention his style and point out how he had the ability to make complex issues seem easy, and at the same time he always appeared to be a friend. Someone you would be happy to have over to to your house for dinner. Without ever coming into contact with him, people instinctively know he is also a great friend.
This is above and beyond his accomplishments as a scientist, which were also very notable. And I am sad to say this makes his passing even more tragic. because the world lost a really great humanitarian person who came with a lot of dignity and intelligence. Something that seems to be missing in our current condition .
Try putting yourself in the shoes of one of these Americans and then realize that many of them were subjected to a dumbed down education system that deprived them of many of the things we take for granted in our European schools.
I attended an American public school once for about 3 months. The subject of history was purposely and intentionally made boring and tedious. They took the study of history and made it a matter of memorizing dates.
You know as well as I that history is anything but boring and has nothing to do with memorizing dates. Now put a man like Mr Sagan as the teacher, and it becomes very obvious what the fascination is.
It makes it easier to keep people tuned into religion by misleading them about evolution. Why would the rich be interested in more people believing in religion than evolution?
For one thing, the last thing in the world the power establishment wants is a conscious and informed public who is capable of critical thinking. This is why there is a constant flow of bs being thrown at us via the education, religious, media, government, and other institutions. Just evoking the word evolution sends all kinds of tremors into the religious community because by its very nature, evolution contradicts every thing they ever taught you in church.
But none of that answers the question why. However there is a quote. I believe it was Napolean who said it. Its very popular in power circles, but rarely ever quoted by the middle class...
'Religion is the thing that keeps the poor from murdering the rich"
great man with an great effort to change our P.O.V to the universe

I should start by saying I really don't know much about the universe (much that is known, that is) So when I say that I enjoyed this a lot, it is coming from someone uneducated.
The only part I did -not- enjoy was Ann tilting her head a lot during the introduction.
13 hours???
lol no thanks
Try watching it one episode at a time pan thor. It's well worth it.
@ nachomonkey
Thanks man...this is awesome :)
I was such a dumbass trying to watch 14 episodes at the same time. It makes way more sense now.
bahahahaha me too!!!! stupid head tilting haha
You haven't understood the concepts, and do you *really* think you are capable of outsmarting Carl Sagan on knowledge of the basic foundations of Evolution and artificial/natural selection...?
None of your arguments make any sense *at all* and I assure you that Sagan's skepticism hasn't abandoned him, and your 'skepticism', far from outshining Sagan, is actually non-existent when you are so unbelievably mis-informed about the fundamental basics of what he's talking about.
Find a high school biology textbook and learn what evolution, natural selection, and artificial selection *actually* are. When you have sufficiently educated yourself, go back to the documentary and you will see that Carl Sagan's explanation is perfectly accurate and you have not just discovered a major flaw with the documentary that Carl himself missed, along with everyone else since the early 1980's when it was released.
I grew up on this, and still enjoy it now as much as i did then. Carl and cosmos inspired me to become who i am today. Still the best science doco series ever made.
umm... because we have the good sense and taste not to name ourselves 'el-duderino''?
I believe that these series are great. Looking forward to watch them. Thank you for the post. I would recommend everyone to see BBC "Human Animal" series which concentrate on the human nature from a zoologist's perspective.
Carl Sagan was a great man, the world did loose an important voice in 1996.
The only thing that will keep that voice alive is us, my friend.
interesting how agent smith from matrix has the same kind of voice, and he apeared in the same year!
just finished watching a few nights ago... i am now constantly thinking about things that Sagan went over such as life, death, history of science, and the environment. i am 26 yrs old and an environmental scientist, and it still drives me crazy how many people i run into (even around my age) that don't believe in any earth science... it's like they just want to be more masculine or act more tough by denying problems that exist. HOW CAN PEOPLE DOUBT SCIENCE? CARL SAGAN IS THE MAN! R.I.P.
when I look at the universe, i see a well organized plan. everythings seems to be exactly where it needs to be. but thats just me.
That well organized plan you see now has been perfected over billions and billions of year. And it is not really well organized though, comets and planets still colliding with each other, you are just too small and go out too quickly to see it. The serene, peaceful Earth you are living in now has been changing for more than 4 billion years... Consider your life of only mere 100 years, I doubt that you will see any big change of the Earth, ever.
word, but try and be more positive. You doubt humanity, remember there will always be the a--holes out there. But there are believers in science out there in the masses! They are just in unexpected places, keep looking. Long live planet earth. "It takes one single crack in the dam, to progress into an explosion of mass action"
Classic!!! The best man in science popularization... More Carl Sagans in today world must grow up... There is something eternal in this film!!!
ive seen so many documentaries over the years, but this one is the most fascinating. (and its like 30 years old!) STRAP YOURSELF IN FOR A 13 Hour RRIDE
Very good material here. I however find that with most documentaries of this nature, the author never deals with the fact that Matter is conscious and entire universe is one consciousness. Is this a step too far?
It almost sounds like as though you've fallen for the claims by new agers/quantum quackery.
I agree.
Billions a d billions of times.
Wow, it's quite unfortunate that so many people (who are mostly scientifically illiterate, no offense) fall for such claims. No actual credible physicist entertain these ideas, not to mention the evidence that backs this up is not there, nor does it fit into our current understanding of the universe. It's only new age conspiracy theorists like David Icke and plenty of others who use speculation, misrepresentation of scientific findings and flat out pseudoscience to convince others that humans beings and their "consciousness" were responsible for the creation of the universe. It's best if you get your science from credible scientific authorities and not people who use the term 'spirituality' in a non-poetic sense.
WOW BIG BIG WORDS,, ill watch the video and try and comprehend what you said
No, I'm sorry that was actually a reply to someone else -- not the video itself. This series is incredible and I would certainly recommend watching it. This video has nothing to do with spirituality. Someone else mentioned it and I was replying to them.
If things weren't exactly how they are, they'd be different.
R.I.P Carl
It's good to see your "One with the Force" but Star Wars was just a movie (not real).
WOW it's daunting to weigh your knowledge of the cosmos after 30 years :) If you pay attention there are images and he says things that have long been answered (the giant elliptical galaxies in the center of some clusters, they may be the home to what astronomers call a "quasar"... talking of supermassive black holes... :)...)
Carl did mention that we are made of star dust :P
I remember watching Cosmos on TV in the 80's
R.I.P Carl
Carl Sagan is such an inspiring teacher. His passion and curiosity and knowledge is addictive.
Mr Sagan I am now watching this series once again. And I wonder if we will be watching this with admiration BILLIONS of years into the future. :) This is the most incredible series for anyone who would like to make understandings from the people, planet, and cosmos. Thank you Thank you Thank you. You are the best teacher I ever had.
I would like to see a documentary like this that includes the lost Kingdoms of Africa, Asia and the America's because those people contributed a great deal of knowledge to our learning. When Europe was in the Dark ages Africa was in its third Golden Age and who kows what else was going on in the World.
Although Carl Sagan, and his Cosmos series, will always have a special and unique place in history, you may be delighted to know that Seth McFarlane is producing an update/remake in Sagan's honor narrated/hosted/written by Neil DeGrasse Tyson (the Carl Sagan of the modern era). It will air hopefully in 2013, but more likely 2014. The longer it takes the better the content will be, in this mans opinion.
thanks for the info Brian. Considering when Carl did this series and the awesome visuals etc I am hopeful that we will be amazed at what presentations of the cosmos that will be in the spirit of the original. I look forward to the day when I can watch the series with my son.
now i know where morphious's voice pitch comes from....
i used to watch this as a kid and it changed my life. am so gald to stumble on it now. i'll watch and wacth and watch again, thank god i can now understand every word
I remember watching this as a kid, and watching it again after Sagan's death. One of the most inspiring people I've ever seen.
Fantastic Sagan
He was more ingenious than known,,in this film,,he explains in different dimensions if you know how to watch for it,,especially of when,,and how we were doomed and totally enslaved for eternity,,when they intentionally destroyed,(took and hid for the crown),,all intelligence up to that point,,and many had to wait 1500-2000 yrs to openly re-discover it,,over and over.,,bless sagen,,amen---stop
Not those pesky aliens again is it? They have a lot to answer for! ;)
I need some door to be open.To search for peace I have tried many things..(silva mind control,rosicrucian,scientology,etc,etc,etc...What is real,please help me.
Science my friend. Science is the key to understanding and freedom.
anyone wanna start a 'troll' fight? I'm game but, just for warning. I'll disarm you first with my vocabulary. Then I'll use the very foundations of science to fold your words around you like a junk yard automobile compactor watching and waiting feverishly for you to return, put on spot and perplexed to the point of bumbling confusion. Where I jump through the shadows like a sci-ninja
(I call science ninjas like sensi Sagan) swiftly leaping through all the blind spots high lighted in the high school text books you failed to take any notice of. poised to attack than with a steel through butter slice like my superior intellect if not a side effect or possibly a protruding growth that would explain my neck caste. Heads will roll! ha ha ha - ha ha ha - ha ha ha - ha ha ha ha!
What is real... in your search for peace here's a start;
1) The pursuit of happiness is the goal of life and
2) treating others the way you'd like to be treated, since you're not the only one looking for the good life!
There are finer details, but master the above 2 points first and I can't see how you'd get lost. Good luck!
try psychedelics :)
Hey Jesus, is your question "what is real?" or is something else bothering you
This is actual science, not pseudoscience. Dr. Sagan was well known to be a skeptic and what you're suggesting, that inanimate matter is conscious, is the astronomical equivalent to patent medicines or homeopathy.
So, in other words: bulls*it.
There are three words that describe a learned person. I don't know. All of us are ignorant for none of us can know everything. An arrogant intellect is a fool for even a feeble minded can befuddle him.
@Jesus Rivera: I personally believe in Gravity -- but very little else.
Also, i "believe" or "have faith" in myself just as well -- even though i know that i am far from perfect. I may let myself down from time to time, but truth be told there is no one else i can honestly rely upon. (My wife or my pets might not always be there to help me! ;-) )
I'm not sure if this addresses your question exactly; am just trying to be helpful.
For What It's Worth, Carl Sagan was inspired to begin work on "Cosmos" after having watched Jacob Bronowski's wonderful series "The Ascent of Man".
I highly recommend the latter program to anyone who enjoyed "Cosmos". A book was later produced using the text from the video series -- much like Joseph Cambell's (with Bill Moyers) "The Power of Myth".
u sir are an arrogant buffoon of magnanimous proportion. . . . i like the way think !
Sagan had such a relaxing voice. I find it so, anyway. Maybe because I watched these growing up or because they were among the early influences that led to a lifelong love affair with science. Sagan was an enlightened man. Oh that men of his caliber could run the world. This series will always remain relevant. Though the introduction by the woman suggesting the world is any less dangerous today than it was during the 'cold war,' is mistaken.
I could have done without the producer's "creation versus evolution" axe to grind, although, that's probably the key to receiving funding; I mean, what is a documentary if it doesn't take its swipes at the dreaded "faith community."
Truth is, no one knows for sure exactly how it happened, but that is irrelevent. The point is that the liberal academic establishment wants to keep a tight grip on all the action, be it scientific or otherwise.
The first hour was fantastic. Everyone has to love it. When it got political, though, charmed as I was, I bailed on it.
Read: "When it started to cause me to think about things in a perspective other than my own personal bias, I, like many other Ostrich personalities, bailed and continued living in my self-induced ignorance."
ha ha! What a load of crap!
where does history fit into science?
Hello, I've downloaded this movie successfully, but unfortunately I can't see the English subtitle, so can you help me, please?
I never get tired of watching this video
I'm so glad that others cry with joy when they read or watch philosophy.
it reminds me why i love live and all it diversites
this is one of my all time favourite series, ive watched it many times, i intend to buy it one day so i can enjoy it high quality, if you have not watched it i recomend it, might have already commented saying roughly the same, ive watched each episode more than ten times, and also i used it too help me drift off to sleep, carl, you the man yo!
im about to watch it again after having browsed the website and not found anything of interest ^-^ yay
i remember reading this a while ago and laughing, lol
we don't come form the ocean!
A masterpiece of inspiration and import about mankind's journey of discovery, which is accessible to all. The work of Sagan and crew will no doubt remain an evergreen archive for humanity for many more years to come.
does anyone know if there is by chance a book of his exact narration from this series? I know there is a book that he wrote, but it is not an exact narration. anyone?
Yes, I own a book by Carl Sagan, "Cosmos" Random House, New York, 365 pages hardcover. Written from these 13 series.
Found it in discards from local library. Try your libraries.
You can also download it off the internet for free in .PDF version.
Hi, thank you very much, however I was basically looking for a transcript based on the show. The book is very similar, yes, but I think he improvises in the actual film, or it was edited later for the book. Maybe it just isn't possible to get a transcript since a book was published based on the series?
I did a quick search for a transcript on the internet available in .PDF format or any other downloadable format. I didn't find anything for such a thing. Maybe you could contact PBS directly to get that information? I'm sure there may be an archive available for production of the actual transcript. Good luck in your quest!
Carl Sagan, the guy that introduced the Magic of science with poetic precision.
I loves all of Carl Sagan films. He was an inspiration to my education.
I discovered this site and the wonders of Carl Sagan's genius and fantastic presenting only in December - he leaves his own great legacy to the world and we should thank him for that and cherish it.
Cosmos - A truly wonderful work
A virulent pox on the wankers who keep taking it down from youtube or flagging unavailable in this country. If there's one bit of media that could uplift the human condition by being freely available to all, it's Cosmos. MJ's We Are the World aint got crap.
Jacob Bonowski, The Ascent of Man was very, very good too. The Ascent of Man was the main inspiration for professor Sagan to produce Cosmos..
yes it was philosophy that built the after burners and the command modules that launched the Apollo programme. Your level of incredibly dubious oratory which no doubt is the greatest testament herein of the confusion inherent in pockets of humanity which makes it all too obvious that empirical reconciling of logical sequencing of cause and effect and those of a more ethereal nature. But I guess you would know that because obviously you were trying for the DARWIN award. CONGRATULATIONS you WON!!!
actually that's a question I would be asking myself if I was you the guy a girlo, el-duderino. You seriously have no credibility with a name like that.
Actually ron, that's what study does. It allows you to impart upon yourself all this info and more too. This is nothing bin terms of knowledge in terms of a Phd.
The portion of your comment in quotes is a fair call. There are many inspiration figures in many aspects of life, knowledge, endeavour etc., because everyone is different. Its just the facts and knowledge he is imparting is very informative in as much as taking someone from 0 to 100 in just 13 hrs.
I know, I know, pick me pick me (hand up lol) we start getting into the quantum realm if we are talking about Newton and Einstein. The best starting point is time/space, although time is technically a 4th dimension, on the Planck scale they are inseparable.....oh ok sorry Michelle's turn. You actually gotta know this stuff before you go spouting off at the mouth Michelle.
could be because he can write better than you and knows how to spell. Know a lot about biochemistry, astrophysics, molecular biology, genetics, epigenetics etc do you. I'm not really sure that you would even know what they all mean or exactly what they refer to. Silly girl, where's your Phd? Where did you study?
I first saw these about 20 years ago, and Ive made it my business to study and accumulate knowledge of the underlying reality of physics, genetics of humans, but maths is still a big scary monster under the bed. Just for your info there is a documentary about infinity and the talk about Grahams number, just thought you would like to know. It opened my mind when I realised there is infinity between 1 and 2, or between any 2 consecutive numbers.
One day a group of scientists got together and decided that man had
come a long way and no longer needed God. So they picked one scientist to go and tell Him that they were done with Him.
The scientist walked up to God and said, "God, we've decided that
we no longer need you. We're to the point that we can clone people and do many miraculous things, so why don't you just go on and get lost."
God listened very patiently and kindly to the man and after the
scientist was done talking, God said, "Very well, how about this, let's
say we have a man making contest." To which the scientist replied, "OK, great!"
But God added, "Now, we're going to do this just like I did back in the old days with Adam."
The scientist said, "Sure, no problem" and bent down and grabbed himself a handful of dirt.
God just looked at him and said, "No, no, no. You go get your own dirt!"
You obviously haven't watched this.
I just watched half an hour of this while I was waiting for the series to download. I said to myself I'd be fair and watch the original again (15 years later) before starting the new series ... I'm gonna at least give Neil deGrasse Tyson the benefit of the doubt, and I think the only way to really do that is to shake off the fond memories I have of Carl or at the very least have a clean set of memories to compare against.
Here's hoping Mr (deGrasse) Tyson does half as good a job as my memory. Science for the win!!
Edit: For anyone that hasn't watched this I highly recommend it. It's one of the best science docs you could ever watch and probably the most educational thing you could ever show your kids.
I feel sorry for your empty head.
I'll give him a couple points for attempting humor, but nothing for content.
You're being too kind altogether docoman. I'm all for humour but it has to be funny.
G'day mate,
I did say attempting... not doing. lol.
Maybe someday soon humour will show up in religion ...
It'll be a cold day in hell...
All we can do is live in hope, it's the best we have.
You may find Arron Rah intriguing as well.
I'm sure he would love that story ;)
No, you got that wrong, the story actually goes like this:
One day a group of scientists got together and decided that man had come a long way and no longer needed a God to exapain gaps in knowledge. So they picked one scientist to go and tell him... That scientist started to look, he started to walk, he kept walking, kept looking... he is still looking and will probably be looking forever. The other scientists laugh at him behind his back.
AMEN to THAT, my friend!!!!
I whole-heartedly agree with all that!
Well said, Keith H!!!!
"The woman" was Anne Druyan, actualy...
Try reading medical science journals to find the answers to your problems. ...Just a suggestion.
Too right! I just wish there were a lot more people like him on our precious Earth!!!!
Comparing often leads to judgement and seeing one series as better or worse. Please look at the goal. Neil is trying to educate the masses and demystify many historical mile stones and technologies.
SCIENCE SHOWS THAT THE UNIVERSE CANNOT BE ETERNAL because it could not have sustained itself eternally due to the law of entropy (increasing and irreversible net energy decay, even in an open system). Even a hypothetical oscillating universe could not continue to oscillate eternally! Einstein showed that space, matter, and time all are physical and all had a beginning. Space even produces particles because it's actually something, not nothing. Even time had a beginning! Time is not eternal.
The law of entropy doesn't allow the universe to be eternal. If the universe were eternal, everything, including time (which modern science has shown is as physical as mass and space), would have become totally entropied by now and the entire universe would have ended in a uniform heat death a long, long time ago. The fact that this hasn't happened already is powerful evidence for a beginning to the universe.
Popular atheistic scientist Stephen Hawking admits that the universe had a beginning and came from nothing but he believes that nothing became something by a natural process yet to be discovered. That's not rational thinking at all, and it also would be making the effect greater than its cause to say that nothing created something. The beginning had to be of supernatural origin because natural laws and processes do not have the ability to bring something into existence from nothing. What about the Higgs boson (the so-called "God Particle")? The Higgs boson does not create mass from nothing, but rather it converts energy into mass. Einstein showed that all matter is some form of energy.
The supernatural origin of the universe cannot be proved by science but science points to a supernatural intelligence and power for the origin and order of the universe. Where did God come from? Obviously, unlike the universe, God's nature doesn't require a beginning.
EXPLAINING HOW AN AIRPLANE WORKS doesn't mean no one made the airplane. Explaining how life or the universe works doesn't mean there was no Maker behind them. Natural laws may explain how the order in the universe works and operates, but mere undirected natural laws cannot explain the origin of that order. Once you have a complete and living cell then the genetic code and biological machinery exist to direct the formation of more cells, but how could life or the cell have naturally originated when no directing code and mechanisms existed in nature? Read my Internet article: HOW FORENSIC SCIENCE REFUTES ATHEISM.
Even the father of Chaos theory admitted that the "mechanisms" existing in the non-living world allow for only very rudimentary levels of order to arise spontaneously (by chance), but not the kind or level of order we find in the structures of DNA, RNA, and proteins. Yes, individual amino acids have been shown to come into existence by chance but not protein molecules which require that the various amino acids be in a precise sequence just like the letters found in a sentence.
The disorder in the universe can be explained because of chance and random processes, but the order can be explained only because of intelligence and design.
WHAT IS SCIENCE? Science simply is knowledge based on observation. No human observed the universe coming by chance or by design, by creation or by evolution. These are positions of faith. The issue is which faith the scientific evidence best supports.
Some things don't need experiment or scientific proof. In law there is a dictum called prima facie evidence. It means "evidence that speaks for itself."
An example of a true prima facie would be if you discovered an elaborate sand castle on the beach. You don't have to experiment to know that it came by design and not by the chance forces of wind and water.
If you discovered a romantic letter or message written in the sand, you don't have to experiment to know that it was by design and not because a stick randomly carried by wind put it there. You naturally assume that an intelligent and rational being was responsible.
Hi, episode 8 is not in the playlist. I wanted to see this one especially because of speed of light. But I have watched them all since friday only to discover after the last episode that episode 8 is missing haha.
No sound for me.

Gary Burton Quartet: Blue Comedy
Blue Comedy
Gary Burton (vibes)
In Concert (Bmg Int'l)
Gary Burton (vibes), Larry Coryell (guitar), Steve Swallow (bass), Bob Moses (drums).
Composed by Mike Gibbs.
Recorded: live at Carnegie Hall, New York, February 23, 1968
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
Because of all the diverse music Gary Burton has recorded for almost 50 years, and since the vibraphone is not exactly an instrument that jumps up and down asking for attention, we often forget that even before he achieved his role as jazz vibe icon, Burton was an important member in the early days of the jazz fusion movement. Burton's quartet isn't exactly playing fusion on "Blue Comedy." But he is performing in the early days with three gifted players who would in one form or another join him in the soon-to-be burgeoning jazz-rock movement. Coryell and Moses were already playing in Coryell's post-fusion group Free Spirits at this time. Swallow was a permanent member of Burton's quartet and would go on to perform with Carla Bley, among many others. For that reason, "Blue Comedy" is significant because it displays Burton and his bandmates just before the jazz-rock movement really took hold.
"Blue Comedy" is a modern jazz blues number. Burton opens the proceedings with a forthright straight- ahead melodic mallet run. Swallow's walking bassline steadily propels the piece. Coryell plays some choppy comping chords before he takes a restrained tasteful solo off the basic blues scales. There is little of the speed demon Coryell can be. But it is tasteful playing in the context of the number. Burton swings during his foray, occasionally leaving enough space for Moses's effective accents. The obligatory bass solo follows. Swallow is able to maintain the forward motion of the piece without much difficulty before he is joined for the wrap-up. "Blue Comedy" is real good jazz worthy of the venue in which it was presented: Carnegie Hall. From a historical perspective it is further evidence that all good fusion players had a foundation in traditional modern jazz before they started playing fast and loud. The best of them feel right at home in either style, and all of these players have proved that over time.

Nowadays, a person's smartphone is sacred and crucial to their privacy - if you observe the activities on a person's smartphone, this is like getting a glimpse into their heart and soul. While some people are open and have nothing to hide on their smartphones, others are extremely paranoid and guarded when it comes to the privacy of their smartphones.
To help paranoid people from the fear of nosy people spying on their smartphones while unattended, the smartphone app Catchr records all of the basic activities on your smartphones, including apps which are open and closed. Unfortunately the function does not work on the Mail app due to App Store rules, but it is able to record crucial information, such as whether your phone has been moved and show you the location on a map.
As long as you remember the last activity you did on your smartphone, you can easily have solid proof of whether someone has snooped on your smartphone. To observe the latest activities of your smartphone not performed by you, simply press the "start" button and the app will reveal a list of apps that were open and closed and specific activities that were performed on the smartphone.
Other than ratting out nosy friends, this is also useful in a serious relationship, as jealous girlfriends tend to snoop on their boyfriends' smartphones without their permission or awareness. If you catch your girlfriend snooping on your smartphones, you will realise there is a problem to be resolved in the relationship. Privacy is top priority when it comes to Catchr - a world without privacy is like a world without a basic human right.

As computer technology has grown, software and hardware has vastly improved the usability of computers. Many people don't know that businesses are using HP3000 migration to improve IT infrastructure. Other improvements in technology can been seen in your PCs operating system desktop manager, from windows 3.1 to windows 7. The Desktop Window Manager, or dwm.exe, is the graphical display engine used by modern iterations of Microsoft Windows. Initially introduced in Windows Vista, DWM has dramatically changed the way Windows displays the desktop by moving the process of drawing pixels and images directly to the screen using the computer's central processing unit (CPU) to the system's graphics card. This process frees up the CPU to do other tasks instead of focusing on how information is displayed, thus allowing the display of advanced window effects such as three-dimensional page transitions and transparency.
The main focus of the DWM is the enabling of the Windows Aero theme and user interface. Things such as page flips, window translucency, window resizing, and various animations come to life with a vibrancy and smoothness previously unable to earlier editions of Windows. This is all performed by a process generally known as desktop composition. Basically, the subsystems that compose the dwm.exe utilize a persistent shared resource in a graphic card's memory that retains updated display information so that each Windows application no longer has to keep track of how its particular display requirements interact with other programs and Windows itself. This of course further reduces overall CPU load. While DWM requires programs to be written to make best use of it, older DWM-agnostic programs that normally write directly to the screen employing system RAM can still be used by redirecting their respective output to DWM buffers, though the system's CPU suffers a performance hit to accomplish this.
System requirements for DWM to work effectively include a fairly modern graphics card or processor that supports DirectX 9.0, Pixel Shader 2.0, and Windows Driver Display Model (WDDM). The graphics system should also have a minimum of 128 MB RAM and support 32 bits of information per pixel. As well, the computer itself should have at least a 1 GHz processor with 1 GB of system memory.
Desktop Window Manager, and the subsequent technologies it enables, represent a fundamental shift in how information is displayed to the end user. This in turn has lead to improvements focusing more on the dissemination of information in general. Where Windows Vista utilized these technologies mainly to improve aesthetics and overall performance, Windows 7 has focused more on the practical use of these technologies to make information more accessible and meaningful, such as the ability to display a thumbnail of an active application when hovering a mouse pointer over its respective icon on the taskbar or by snapping a program's window to one half of the screen by dragging it to either side of the desktop. Future versions of Windows, such as Windows 8, promise to include even more innovation, including better touch gesture recognition and other interfacing.

And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. Exodus 3:14 (KJV)
Award winning songwriter and recording artist Carmen Calhoun brings the "i am" experience to the Baltimore area along with a musical message inspired by the GREAT I Am. The artist whose newly released music project entitled "i am" is definitely more than just another CD, but rather an "experience" that you'll want to enjoy live through one of several scheduled Carmen Calhoun Unplugged performances appropriately called "the i am experience."
On Saturday, March 16th the vocalist will make a special appearance at the River of Life Christian Center in Baltimore (5225 Hamilton Avenue.) The Baltimore Christian Living Examiner caught up with the busy artist who is definitely in demand. Making appearances all over the tri-state area, Calhoun has plans to carry the "i am" experience to the north, east, south, west and in her own words, "wherever 'i am' has an open door for me to walk through!" We got in three quick questions that answer just enough for you to find out what the experience is all about! In-joy!
JT: What is the 'i am" experience?
CC: [It is] about who I am in Christ, me/we/us growing in the Tree of Life-Jesus (the GREAT I Am) to bring forth fruit. My past, my NOW and my future! The "i am" experience is about agreeing with God in who He says "i am" even when my behavior contradicts what He says. The "i am" experience is about the good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful of me/we/us in Christ. The Holy Spirit influenced this project!
JT: What/who inspired this project?
CC: I remember when Daddy stated to me that He is NOT some narcissistic God in Heaven needing His children to stop and give Him all these praise breaks! God said I know who I Am! Read John 17:4! Daddy stated that Bill Gates did NOT create Microsoft with a program to stop and give him praise breaks! Worthy is Bill Gates! Glory to Bill Gates! No No No a hundred times NO! Bill Gates received glory and honor once Microsoft successfully accomplished what it was designed and created to do. Daddy said it's good for all people to be thankful and to follow the example set before you in John 17:4! You bring me glory Carmen, by simply doing the assignment I set before you. It requires a relationship and an ear to hear. If the Holy Spirit says to clean the toilets at IHOP, clean the toilet! If He instructs you to pay for someone's meal in the car behind you in the drive thru line, do that! I am the righteousness of God in Christ! I am Holy, I am healed! I am Smart!
I am...
JT: How can we connect with you to purchase your new CD "i am" and/or to bring the "I am experience" to other venues/churches in the Baltimore area?
CC: You can connect with me via twitter/carmencalhoun1,Facebook/carmencalhoun and via my website www.carmencalhoun.com.
Thank you Carmen for taking the time to speak with the Baltimore Christian Living Examiner and thank YOU readers for supporting all of the authors, artists, businesses and ministries that are featured in this column. Book your "i am" experience with Carmen Calhoun TODAY or check or website to see when Carmen will be bringing the "experience" to an venue near you!
