Carl Sagan is right up there with Richard Feynman in my list of heroes. When Sagan talks about the universe and our place in it, I can’t help but feel a profound sense of awe – first at the cosmos, and then at his ability to impact me that way. I imagine others have the same experience.
Yesterday, PZ posted a beautiful video put together by youtube user callumCGLP of the audio from Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot book-on-tape with images from Stephen Hawking’s Into the Universe and Brian Cox’s Wonders of the Solar System. I sat captivated and knew I had to share it:
Carl Sagan: A Universe Not Made For Us:
Once we overcome our fear of being tiny, we find ourselves on the threshold of a vast and awesome universe that utterly dwarfs in time, in space, and in potential the tidy anthropocentric proscenium of our ancestors.
Wonderful. Have a great Friday!
