In a crazy world, listening to Carl Sagan talk is like having _sanity_ poured into your ears / mind - It's SO relieving!

For those who are criticising young people of today, these lectures are still happening and are shown on British TV every Christmas. The presentations style has not changed that much. The lecturers still use models made from wood, cardboard and plastic. They still use simple graphics and and they still use audience participation to demonstrate their subject,. And the kids still love it. At so do I.

Yep. Faraday was adamant that the Lectures should always be more about content than packaging. Very uncool these days, and that, to me, is their great strength. The Christmas Lectures are aimed directly at school kids. It's not stuff to wash over them passively, it's all about stimulating thought and questions and debate. It's brilliant that Sagan agreed to take part. He was a terrific ambassador for knowledge. I'd love to have seen a Richard Feynman lecture, but I'm not sure my brain would have been able to cope! Neil deGrasse Tyson would be a fine presenter too, but I imagine he's fully occupied touring the States these days. I think having a Christmas Lecture or two under your belt for a scientist does more good for the world than winning any of the more prestigious international prizes. Getting the call from the R. I. is the scientist's equivalent of a musician being asked to join Steely Dan in the studio, or being asked by Frank Zappa if you want to join his band... ;-)

If you disagreed then you should have had science for how creation happened naturally. Blah, blah with NO science to challenge what I wrote yet your dumb ass felt the need to respond with word farts. And wait, more proof with in-depth science how Carl was precious in believing no God needed for creation... " In the meantime here you are, a nobody who likes to humiliate and offend people over a comment while doing nothing for humanity. If God had created us, he would be repulsed by you." Carl who taught the universe just began with no explanation how, and said crap like... Carl Sagan "It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." He believed delusion but I'm that bad person for bringing it out. Carl Sagan, "The dangers of not thinking clearly are much greater now than ever before. It's not that there's something new in our way of thinking - it's that credulous and confused thinking can be much more lethal in ways it was never before." Carl didn't think clearly and had NO science for a natural creation he believed in but I'm bad for showing the true scum Carl was. Carl Sagan, "We hunger to understand, so we invent myths about how we imagine the world is constructed - and they're, of course, based upon what we know, which is ourselves and other animals. So we make up stories about how the world was hatched from a cosmic egg or created after the mating of cosmic deities or by some fiat of a powerful being." Carl believed in myths and accused people like me of doing it. Yet, I'm supposed to let that go. That is better for humanity to support lies. Gee, keep on showing not only what a disgusting dumbass you are.

There are very few people I would watch and listen to for over an hour at a whopping 360p resolution. Carl is one of them. Great lecture. Filmed in 1977, I was about the age of the young girls that helped out with the Earth-Venus modeling. How I wish I could have been there to participate. Notice also how proper everyone was dressed. Today the kids...and many of the adults, attending a lecture like this would be wearing shorts and flip-flops. Sad to see the way things have "progressed".

Although I was 16 years old at the time, I never saw this before. It reminds me of the fact that the word 'awesome' used to have a real meaning. One can't help but feel sorry for the philistines who vote this down.

I vividly remember this set of lectures. I was utterly gripped by them. From these lectures Carl Sagan gave me a love of science and astronomy that I still have today. I was 11 back then and I might add I had a crush on Prof Sagan as well. My parents bought me 'The Hamlyn Guide to Astronomy' around that time, I pestered them that much and they didn't have a lot of money....My Mum treated me to 'The Dragons of Eden' as well! Happy days...Sometimes at night even now I look out at the sky and say, "Hello Universe," so the impact on my life of these lectures cannot be underestimated. I miss Carl Sagan even though he passed away nearly a quarter of a century ago.

And when you looked up to the sky and said "Hello Universe", were you stupid like Carl was and think it just got there on its own? If so, give your science for that. Give me the laugh. Carl Sagan "The Cosmos is all that is or was or ever will be." Carl Sagan, "I can’t imagine anyone denying the existence of the laws of nature, but I don’t know of any compelling evidence for the old man in the sky." More from the dumbass, "It’s perfectly possible that the universe is infinitely old and therefore uncaused. In fact, there are detailed cosmological models that hold such a view and that are consistent with everything we know. To my mind, it seems not fully satisfactory to say that there was a first cause. That seems to postpone dealing with the problem rather than solving it. If we say “God” made the universe, then surely the next question is, “Who made God?” If we say “God” was always here, why not say the universe was always here? If we say that the question “Where did God come from?” is too tough for us poor mortals to understand, then why not say that the question of, “Where did the universe come from?” is too tough for us mortals? In what way, exactly, does the God hypothesis advance our knowledge of cosmology? What predictions does it make on which the hypothesis will stand or fall?" from: www.uscatholic.org/articles/202001/god-and-carl-sagan-cosmos-big-enough-both-them-31939 Read the article. Have a vomit bag or trash can nearby for what a hypocritical, lying, mocking, disgusting, foolish person he was. Now, Carl the dumbass NEVER can get around these laws and what the lead to... Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it. ....yet the buffoon thinks creation happened naturally, but the idiot says, "What predictions does it make on which the hypothesis will stand or fall?" as the crap-for-brains ignores the CLEAR science that creation had to happen by God supernaturally! Still the fool who ignores the laws farted out, "I don’t know of any compelling evidence for the old man in the sky." Notice his mocking God, "man in the sky" as if that makes him look smart as he completely ignores the evidence. His question, "Who made God?" is as dumb as he is. So in his way of foolish thinking, if a supernatural creator created the natural realm, then that supernatural creator who created the natural realm with its natural laws has then become also bound by those natural laws the supernatural creator created. So explain why a supernatural creator is also bound by the laws the supernatural creator created. Or, show how smart you are and just give your science for creation happening naturally and don't forget to give your science how the natural laws were created, too. If he wanted to act smart, it may be a good idea to actually show you are. Sagan the dumbass will at some point face his Maker for his judgment of what he believed in this life.

I'm still new to the whole Carl Sagan experience, only found him a few years back when Neil released The Cosmos, and thats when I first heard the name, and found Carl was the OG of the Cosmos series and inspired Neil. An awesome human being all round.

Thank you for uploading 🙏

Watching this Carl Sagan lecture in Nov. 2021. Now as in the past, Professor Sagan still speaks truth of Science and continues to inspire. We are pleased to have his talks and lectures via new virtual technology. Thank you, You Tube.

34:26 "If you look closely at, say New York City or over here or at Washington DC over here, you find no sign of life, intelligent or otherwise" 🤭😂🤣

He took about 25 minutes to settle in, I am glad he was nervous and the experience allowed him to blossom and enjoy his miraculous ability to communicate and explain to children.

I wish Carl Sagan were here now to witness the giant leaps in space exploration we’ve taken. And his Planetary Society.

Amazing!

I loved Dr. Sagan's little digression about the spacecraft using a can with a string going all the way down to Texas. He really knew how to break up academia while still keeping it relevant and thoughtful.

Awesome and funny...thanks for the upload

carl sagan was a great orator that is much missed

I remember getting my first globe as a child. Meant the world to me

It would be amazing to watch prof Brian Green & prof Carl Sagan unveil the obscurities of Cosmos! 🙏🧿🙏

At 55.15 that's just amazing.

Nice thank you

Awesome, after all these years, learnt so many things about universe...wish I had seen this earlier ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏👌👌👌

In some people's minds regretfully. Love how he still kills it with the adult jokes.

To the person who said you were at the lectures....kudos, seriously envious!

"The voyager spacecraft will also pass by Saturn and its rings. It will in fact then pass by Uranus, if it is still working." God damn, that thing still works! It's been sending data for over 40 years!

Carl is awesome I can Listen to Him for Hours

Hail Sagan

If dear late Mr Sagan was alive today and was lecturing an audience, myself included in the audience. And it that was a 8hr lecture I would dread, curse and almost cry at the end. I could listen with absolute focus and concentration forever. No one talks or explains as beautifully and poetically as Sagan did😢. Rest in peace🙏🏼😇

What a great man. R. I. P. Carl

The best scientist I have seen.

ALLLLL his 'pictures', illustrations, thanks to him, are all actual photographs taken from probes sent to orbit or flyby the planets. How much has changed in 40 years! From Faraday to Sagan... what greats will the future produce worthy of them?

What a BRILLIANT way to spend Christmas; recognizing, at least culturally, some aspect of winter (in the northern hemisphere) and coming to understand the universe "as it really is" rather than praising a non-existent entity at a time of year he had nothing to do with. I have a new "holiday" ritual.

What a rendering of cosmos by Sagan, in a way children are fascinated and interested in this infinite and unknown universe . With all the great and awesome inventions in the modern world, we can now certainly claim human beings are not the most intelligent, but the very least, because knowing so many facts and facets of the world and the universe, we continue to destroy life and put everyone in peril. Animals on the other hand have always lived in harmony within the ecosystem creating a balance. Hope we learn something from other beings and put everything into balance again.

It was my wish to study astronomy I came to US but did not know about this great man

Being that this is an introductory talk given to children, I'd have to disagree: it's for everybody.

A wave of toothbrushing circling the Earth as it rotates - Dr Sagan had such a way with words, sorely missed.

I wish He is still alive. . .

My dog is howling at the music in the beginning

Meu astrônomo predileto 😍

08:57 March, 11th 2021 It is still working Carl, it goes beyond heliosphere now. And in 1990s you'd request NASA to command Voyager to take picture of the earth. May God rest your soul Carl.

A legend in stupidity. Carl Sagan "The Cosmos is all that is or was or ever will be." Carl Sagan, "I can’t imagine anyone denying the existence of the laws of nature, but I don’t know of any compelling evidence for the old man in the sky." More from the dumbass, "It’s perfectly possible that the universe is infinitely old and therefore uncaused. In fact, there are detailed cosmological models that hold such a view and that are consistent with everything we know. To my mind, it seems not fully satisfactory to say that there was a first cause. That seems to postpone dealing with the problem rather than solving it. If we say “God” made the universe, then surely the next question is, “Who made God?” If we say “God” was always here, why not say the universe was always here? If we say that the question “Where did God come from?” is too tough for us poor mortals to understand, then why not say that the question of, “Where did the universe come from?” is too tough for us mortals? In what way, exactly, does the God hypothesis advance our knowledge of cosmology? What predictions does it make on which the hypothesis will stand or fall?" from: www.uscatholic.org/articles/202001/god-and-carl-sagan-cosmos-big-enough-both-them-31939 Read the article. Have a vomit bag or trash can nearby for what a hypocritical, lying, mocking, disgusting, foolish person he was. Now, Carl the dumbass NEVER can get around these laws and what the lead to... Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it. ....yet the buffoon thinks creation happened naturally, but the idiot says, "What predictions does it make on which the hypothesis will stand or fall?" as the crap-for-brains ignores the CLEAR science that creation had to happen by God supernaturally!
