It really captures the wonder and awe that science and the process of understanding your world possess.
It made me cry.
Lyrics:
[Carl Sagan]
I'm not very good at singing songs, but here's a try
Whoop. Uh. Whoop. Uh uh. whoop byoo.
If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch,
you must first
invent the universe.
Space is filled,
with a network of wormholes,
you might emerge somewhere else in space,
some when-else in time.
The sky calls to us,
if we do not destroy ourselves,
we will one day,
venture to the stars.
A still more glorious dawn awaits.
Not a sunrise,
But a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns.
The rising of the Milky way.
The cosmos is full beyond measure.
Elegant truths
of exquisite interrelationships
of the awesome
machinery of nature.
I believe our future depends powerfully on how well we understand this cosmos
on which we float
like a mote of dust
on the morning sky
But the brain does
much more than just
recollect.
It inter-compares
It synthesizes
It analyses
It generates abstractions
The simplest thought
like the concept of the number one
is an elaborate logical underpinning
The brain has its own language
for testing the structure and consistency of the world.
A still more glorious dawn awaits.
Not a sunrise,
But a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns.
The rising of the Milky way.
The sky calls to us,
if we do not destroy ourselves,
we will one day,
venture to the stars.
[Stephen Hawking]
For thousands of years,
people have wondered about the universe
Did it stretch out forever?
Or was there a limit?
From the big bang to black holes
From dark matter to a possible big crunch
Our image of the universe today
is filled with strange sounding ideas.
[Carl Sagan]
How lucky we are
to live in this time
The first moment in human history
when we are,
in fact,
visiting other worlds.
A still more glorious dawn awaits.
Not a sunrise,
But a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns.
The rising of the Milky way.
A still more glorious dawn awaits.
Not a sunrise,
But a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns.
The rising of the Milky way.
The surface of the earth
is the shore of the cosmic ocean
recently we've waded a little way out
and the water seems inviting.
