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!

Carl was my first teacher on television. We stand on his shoulders to see further and learn beyond. Forever grateful. Thank you, Carl.
“... there is no shame in not knowing. The problem arises when irrational thought and attendant behavior fill the vacuum left by ignorance.” - Neil deGrasse Tyson
He's such a wise person, I find theres not an ounce of ignorance or spitefulness in his presentation. You can really see he was content with existence, at ease. I think that if anything thats what he's taught me the most.
Thanks so much for uploading these full-length episodes! This should be seen by everyone, all over the world!
This is sheer beauty. I saw this when I was I child but this stands today as intellectual delight. Thank you so much, uploader!
There's no Cosmos without Carl.

58:45 Dr Sagan takes a hit on the galaxy bong
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.

Carl your voice is soothing!
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.

Thank you Carl to show us the cosmos 🙏🏻🌟🌟🌟🌟
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.
great india
every day i woke up, WORLDS looks diffrent to me as previous days. it looks very astonishing, magical, full of CURIOSITY...
Oh my god. I was browsing for these episodes and with your page i think i stumbled upon treasure! God bless. Thankyou sm!
34:33 looks a little scary to me, but it seems that Carl doesn't look afraid at falling and we don't hear him scream as he falls. He really was a very brave person. Thanks for uploading, love from Anetuka
The way this opens for you the world of wonder.

Watched this series on pbs. Captivated me. Bought his book. Have been enthralled by the mysteries of the cosmos ever since.
Read the discription, what a nice community Carl created. :D
Stunning
Thanks for loading these episodes worth watching😊
Thank you universe!
This is poetry
Thanks, TomKNJ. Like you, I watched it when I was still a child. Now I can show it to my children.
The apple part is so awesome! :)
Cosmos seems indifferent to the concerns of such creature as we...Carl Sagan has this elegance when it comes to express complex relation between us humans and the universe..
Still refreshing
Thank you for the upload.Where is episodes 1 and 9?
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
I hear yah, I recently watched the boxset with my granddad over xmas - it was awesome!! But like Nocturne belongs to Chopin, I still like to hear it re-iterpreted on a distorted guitar
OMG, Carl Sagan was in rural Tamilnadu!! :O
it is divine
@SlyPenguin666 yeah I have a lot of questions and somewhat crazy theories and it's amazing how most of them were asked or thought of in this and the other episodes which were made when I didn't even exist
When I was a kid I don’t have TV now watching on iPad
What an alien facial features 💕
can you upload them to some other website other than KZread? It has been blocked by the publisher in my country, very annoying.
@kyfho1 lol... was just about to suggest that most of those unanswered questions in this episode are actually resolved in Krauss' lecture, but I see it's already been suggested. But yeah, if anyone is interested, you really should look up "A Universe From Nothing" by Lawrence Krauss, found on youtube btw ;)
guys, at 00:21:21, what is the name of that piece? I can't find it anywhere.
maybe, just maybe more of us will get it when the new "Cosmos" airs...
Who made the bubblemaker!
i hope the universe is a close universe beatiful
A new cosmos you say? with no Carl Sagan? hmmm why? the original is dtill relavent today. a glowing tribute to Carl. I would wonder who the presenter will be? perhaps Brian Cox I really enjoyed his program wonders of the universe. but why would we need a new cosmos. what new could they add I ask?
can't wait for the new Cosmos series. Just seeing this one for the first time. and I must say.
Further to my last comment I also have Carls book ‘Cosmos’ and his book ‘Pale Blue Dot’
anyone know the name of the song going at the 15:40 mark?
carl breaks out his bong at the end!
And that's how you pull out science without disrespecting a religion 😄
I don't know what "runs away forever" means, but he's saying it's like travelling thru inside a succession of tennis balls, so the "bigbang" is the moment between two universes, if they are spherical, the small place where they touch.
The new cosmos series is nothing compared to this. Amazing how they managed to dumb down the material compared to this old classic...
@gregchance324 I will check it out, thanx! I allways get a kick out of the clever ideas these "cat's" have, and a (friendly) laugh over their ultra-geeky ways. Just finished Feynman's "Surely you're joking, mr Feynman"; it's a riot, and I recommend it if you're also into that kinda thing. Cheers!
I think this is my favorite episode, but Im confused if all the galaxys are moving away from one another then how is it that the andromada galaxy or m31 is going to hit us in 4 billion years
The intersection of a fourth dimension with our three spatial dimensions creates the effect of time. The threedimensional projection of a fourth dimensional structure creates time. The fourth dimension is not time. Time is the result of 4D Continuum intersecting 3D space. 4C X 3D = Vector T

U know that huge complicated telescope? And the tiny miniscule photographic plate/slide, and the colour spectrum and the 2 bars, left, centre, right? That's a massive conclusion drawn from what is a photographic... trick or element.
Quick thought, if the Sun is one end of a tunnel, would that explain the birth with umbilical chord of a large sphere/planet from "Sun" recently, and the huge black triangle in the middle as seen by SOHO?
and the song at 18:24 please?
mind boggling questions!!! my brain is tired! LOL
I think you miss understood Le Maitre. Yes he came up with the idea or possibility that the universe is expanding and is continuing to expand from a single point but I'm pretty sure that the technology then wasn't available to prove his claim. 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.

Universe as sphere, universe as "U" shaped/open, "if you want to know what a black hole is like inside, look around". Carl is saying that we live in a black hole. Though I thought they were more like double sided fountains.

Poor Carl looks sick in his updates roughly 8 years before he died. he should been goin to the doctor. he looks like a sick man thats sad. but if there is an afterlife he now knows the answer
So, nine times? ;P
Einstein had an idea too, she he be left out and not credited?
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.

Carl's parents must have finally realized that this kid is unusual, when he started stamping the apples :)
they offered einstein israel? they should have offered sagan the world...
They say it's going to be Neil DeGrasse Tyson, which I think will be a good fit (though Carl is amazing). I'm sure there's a ton of other things they can talk about that they didn't know about back then (or didn't know enough) - quasars, new planets, dark matter, the higgs-boson particle, etc.
i think it will be really really really REEEEEALLY BAD. Cosmos belongs to Carl.
Such a pity that my home country cared so little for this kind of shows. I discovered this show… last week and Im 37, feels like such a waste.

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
