Science Class with Carl Sagan.

hundreds of billions of stars in hundreds of billions of galaxies. also: God cares who you marry.

With us being so far in the “outskirts”, we will likely never have a Star Wars saga of our own. Lucky bastards in the globular cluster are having all the Star Wars fun right now 😂

Man... For sure, the world wasn't without its problems back then, but I miss a time when critical thinking, a spirit of being inquisitive and a thirst for knowledge were encouraged, not cut down

✨🇺🇸✨What Are The Stars...? So The Stars Are The Same As Our Sun🌞 Here On Earth🌎 What I Want To Now Know, Is What Is At The Centre Of These Galaxy's🌀 There Are Trillions And Trillions Of Them According To This... ❣️✨🇺🇸✨

Liar Liar pants on fire! We Are the most important aspect of the Observable Universe! A Sentient Species! Carl, take your Conundrum, and shove it up the Ubiquitous!

There’s no excuse for this terrible aspect ratio.

Carl always seemed to belittle the importance of humanity. He bragged about the countless civilizations that must be there. Yet he said " with extraordinary claims there must extraordinary evidence." But produced nothing but speculation. I wonder what he's doing now?

Great stuff here. Those kids definitely are thinking about lunch and not about the other 100 billion galaxies! 😂

I just see him talking with cartoons by his side, definitely not science! 🤦‍♂️

What if I say that we have all answers and there is no need to look for them elsewhere?

@grok we are definitely not the only planet with different species

I call bullshit. We live inside of a hollow earth.

The Tetragrammaton—YHWH. It is, as Kabbalists would tell you, the divine Name—the structure of all being. In Freemasonry, it is the ineffable Word, the one lost in the rubble of the Temple, guarded in allegory by the Master Builder. The Name is not merely a title. It is a key to the architecture of consciousness. A symbol that undergirds the very nature of divine manifestation—of how being itself emerges. In the Temple, only the High Priest could speak this Name, once per year, in the Holy of Holies. And even then—only under conditions of ritual purity and sacred alignment. But did you know? The oldest archaeological reference to this Name—carved into the temple wall of Pharaoh Amenhotep III at Soleb around 1400BCE —is not the four-letter name at all. It’s just three letters: Y-H-W. (The four-letter version doesn't show up for another 600 years after this.) Is it mere coincidence that this earliest version mirrors to W-H-Y? Consider the implications: Either you are forced by dogma to believe in an external deity that puts itself on a pedestal and is above questioning, or you retain your sovereignty, you’re right to question anything and everything, you’re right to integrate, pivot, accept or reject evidence, your right to discernment, to critical thinking, to consciousness itself. Your right to ask the ultimate question, of life, the universe, and everything….WHY. If the ultimate truth is an entity that has more power than you do, free will cannot exist. But if the ultimate truth isn’t a destination, but a journey, a path, a curiosity, an eternal state of observing, questioning, reflecting, absorbing, then and only then is our fate truly in our own hands! This is the only way we arrive at the idea of a Divinity that is not just personal but universal as well! A sacred unfolding that bows only to the integrity of one’s own truth and acceptance. Truth—if it were just a fixed thing, if the ultimate secret of the universe were a single answer or name you could recite, then the whole structure collapses into a faith-based compliance system. It becomes religion in its most brittle form: a truth you must not question, a doctrine you must recite, a god you must believe in—not because you truly believe it, but because you’re not allowed to question it! And that’s the problem. That’s the deep fracture in institutional religion. At the heart of it, you’re not permitted to ask the real questions. You are told what is true, and your only virtue is to accept it. To challenge it—to ask “why”—is to risk being labeled a heretic. A blasphemer. A threat. How dare you doubt your faith. How dare you doubt God. But what if God is not the thing at the end of the road - what if God is the road itself. The pulse of curiosity. The breath that moves you to ask. God is not the answer you’re forbidden to interrogate—God is the question you were born to ask. God is WHY. Not because there is no truth, but because truth is not fixed. It is not received from a priest or prophet. It can not exist outside of the One who questions —it is revealed through a life lived in a state of perpetual wonder, where acceptance and discernment are in eternal conversation. That is not blasphemy. That is devotion of the highest kind. And this is the core of the hero’s journey. It’s the return to the field, not to possess it, but to become it. You don’t find truth—you become truthful. You don’t worship the name—you embody the question. You don’t follow dogma—you walk the edge of your own becoming. The Royal Society knew this: Nullius in verba. Take no man’s word for it. That is the spirit of true gnosis. Not rebellion for its own sake, but the refusal to outsource your knowing. It is the sacred act of reclaiming inquiry as holy. Because truth is not a command. It’s a compass. And God is not a conclusion. God is the unceasing courage to ask—again and again—Why?

But now we know he was wrong.

Very Jewish

Wonderful, just wonderful.

C'est bien ce type qui a participé à filer l'adresse de notre planète aux klingons ?

How can we take pictures of our galaxy when we are inside the galaxy itself? Is it because we are in the arms in one of the spirals? Always wondered this

We are the worst of all GOD' work.

What if Science takes eons to learn the whole truth and life is the only chance to know the God? @ProfCarlSagan isn't it unwise to deny what ancient teachings have told us?

I've read Cosmos four times, and watched the tv series of the same title when it was on PBS as a kid. What a treat it would have been to have Carl Sagan teach a class of young people.

I remember being a teenager and watching Carl Sagan’s show every week I owe who I am today in large part to Carl Sagan’s “A Personal Voyage” I did not end up working for NASA, as I was hoping, but I was inspired to have curiosity about the world which led me to MY Personal Voyage

@GermanLatan This is a remarkable historical video! @ProfCarlSagan @GermanLatan
