Carl Sagan's Cosmos: Episode 10-The Edge of Forever

I uploaded Carl Sagan's Cosmos because this is what the internet, at its best, is all about. But I never expected the comments I would see! It seems like every day I get comments from people talking about how special Carl was, what he meant to them, how he changed their lives, etc. Every comment brings a smile to my face. I'm very proud to say the comments to these videos have become a virtual shrine to a great man who is obviously still missed by millions.
As for me, I first watched Cosmos when I was 10 years old. It had a profound impact on me that lasts to this day. For years, I thought I should become a scientist as a result. That never worked out, and I ultimately chose a very different career path, but Carl's thinking still permeates my intellectual character: his rationality, his skepticism, his deep-felt love of humanity, and, most importantly, his enduring optimism.
Enjoy! And please keep those wonderful comments coming!

    What I find amazing about this series is that is over 30 years old, and yet Sagan who possessed a truly first rate intellect was warning us even then of dangers such as global warning and other human folly. Perhaps most interesting of all, the recurring thread in this series on the historic disdain of scientific inquiry and discovery by organized religion seems even more relevant today. We miss you Carl.

    When I was a kid, I thought about our universe being a closed, bubble like shape. And, when I learned about molecules and particles, I imagined if our universe is just a particle on another universe. And if that particle is one of many that make an intelligent being. And what if the universe of that being is also only a particle on another universe? This putted a perspective on ourselves that we might be just a grain in a immense beach. This is beautiful. This video just took me back in time and into my innocence, if it's even that, and enjoying, once again, the excitement of that thought. Thank you.

    As an Indian and former hindu( now non believer), i really admire the Hindu religion and culture. I mean atleast they had the appetite to find answers to these questions. Religions even though incorrect and of no use to humans, have dominated our culture and lives in the past. And this is what I admire about religions. The orthodoxy and intolerance today have ruined everything.

    we now know (in fact we know since 1998) that the theory of an oscillating universe must be wrong. we have found a much more strange universe in that year: the mass of the universe isn't slowing the expansion at all, instead we observe the universe to be expanding at an ever accelerating speed. carl wasn't aware of this, since we only found out 2 years after his death. we don't know what causes the acceleration of the universe, but astronomers call this phenomenon dark energy.

    I have been a fan of Dr. Carl Sagan and Anne Druyan since 1980. They were and are incredibly forward thinking scientists whose work is very relevant, perhaps more so today. But more than that the quality of the series ‘Cosmos’ that they produced is of the highest quality and stands against anything that is produced today. I have now three copies of the series ‘Cosmos’ (just in case one of them becomes faulty!) Fabulous. It was a crying shame and a tragedy that Dr. Carl died far too young. Thanks for your insight.

    Across ancient Hindu texts which delve on cosmogenesis in conjunction with microcosm , indications have been given that of universe being a continuum of from gross to subtle and also supposedly a plenum, which are very closely depicted in the models shared in the video. Its endearing to see Sagan incorporating substantial time on Hindu philosophy in this context.

    Yes we hindus made some cultural mistakes like every religion But we had tried to find answers,we haven't one holy book,rather than 108 philosophies of upanishads,6 darshanam,9 shrutis,athiestic school of charvak,materialistic school of hinduism,vedanta phiosophy,bhagawadgeeta.....we may not be perfect but what sages said in Upanishads, vedanta,many of their talks makes sense to me even now This universe is so vast,as shree krishna is saying in geeta just like all the rivers meet in the ocean similarly,brahman(the ultimate soul)merge every soul, taking different paths, believes,notions but the ultimate reality is that we all want to know the TRUTH,even a thiest or a athiest

If anything, he should have been credited for at least sparking people's curiosity about the idea that the universe started from a single point.

    If there are the 4 or 5th Dimension, could they hold residence to God? If so, are there higher dimensions for which God is subject to a higher being? If so, does it extend infinitely? Some consider infinite regression as a sign of something going wrong. Sure it is not measurable and therefore out of reach of the scientific method to be mapped, but is that not the same case for a God who holds infinite power and infinite knowledge? Therefore, is it not as "absurd" as an infinite regression? Then again, if we recieve strong evidence in a scientific manner for a pattern that the Universe is following, could we not map it for the rest of the Universe? This was and is the method employed by both religion and science. It is such similarities which reminds me of the importance of questioning one's assumptioms, for it is one of the greatest insights. It is such similarities which makes me consider Sam Harris' hypothesis that religions are failed sciences.

    To say all matter/energy was the size of a pin head means we are referencing the early Universe to the space of our present Universe.This comparison is incorrect,because in the early Universe it was Time-Space itself which was condensed,that includes the spacial reference frame to which we are trying to compare to,this can't be so because there was nothing outside the Space-Time of the early Universe to compare it to.To buy into it,as you say,we need to comprehend the 4th dimension of Space-Time
