The beautiful intro to the Cosmos television series. Carl Sagan talks about the universe and our place within it. The intro music is an excerpt from "Heaven & Hell Part I" by Vangelis. *NOTE 2: It appears Koch Entertainment (now "E1 Distribution") doesn´t wish to pull the video after all. I just got a private message basically saying they used the content search feature to place ads on the videos. Sounds like a sound approach, so yeah, hope you DON´T go bankrupt in the recession I guess :) And sorry about my ill-informed comments. *NOTE 1 (The following does NOT apply any more, please see note 2 for clarification): "Koch Entertainment" has just filed a copyright-claim against this clip, so I don´t know for how much longer it stays up. I´d like to thank you all for your ratings and wonderful comments. Finally, I´d like to say FUCK YOU KOCH ENTERTAINMENT, for trying to remove something that has probably made 100+ people go out and buy the series on DVD. I hope you go bankrupt in the recession. Cheers.* If you like, please write them an e-mail and tell them clips like these have encouraged lots of people to buy the thing: videomarketing@kochent.com If you want to buy the series on DVD you can get it here: www.amazon.com Or if you live in Europe you can buy it here: www.play.com Теги:CarlSaganCosmostelevisionseriesspaceuniversestarstuffgalaxystarshoresofthecosmicoceanearthbigbangeternityinspirational
After an introduction by Ann Druyan, including the benefits of the end of the Cold War, Carl Sagan opens the program with a description of the cosmos and a "Spaceship of the Imagination" (shaped like a dandelion seed). The ship journeys through the universes' hundred billion galaxies, the Local Group, the Andromeda Galaxy, the Milky Way, the Orion Nebula, our Solar System, and finally the planet Earth. Eratosthenes' attempt to calculate the circumference of Earth leads to a description of the ancient Library of Alexandria. Finally, the "Ages of Science" are described, before pulling back to the full span of the Cosmic Calendar.

Read the description first, please. Thanks! Program Description Hard as it is to swallow, cutting-edge theories are suggesting that our universe may not be the only universe. Instead, it may be just one of an infinite number of universes that make up the "multiverse." In this show, Brian Greene takes us on a tour of this brave new theory at the frontier of physics, showing what some of these alternate realities might be like. Some universes may be almost indistinguishable from our own; others may contain variations of all of us, where we exist but with different families, careers, and life stories. In still others, reality may be so radically different from ours as to be unrecognizable. Brian Greene reveals why this radical new picture of the cosmos is getting serious attention from scientists. It won't be easy to prove, but if it's right, our understanding of space, time, and our place in the universe will never be the same.
