    COSMOS (Tyson vs. Sagan) (the pale blue dot)

    what do you think about the series with Neil Degrasse Tyson so far?

    And how does it compare to the original done by Carl Sagan?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PN5JJDh78I this should be free for all, if you cannot see this clip, complain and i will fix it.

    another video based on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pfwY2TNehw

    and another visualisation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Lm6pEhykhs

    do you think a true "pale blue dot"- moment is yet to come in the new series?

    (oh and if you have any scientific questions about any of the content of the new series with Neil, i can answer them, just ask me. no, really, ima knowitall. seriously. different memory structure and such.)
    The Big Bang almost certainly (beyond reasonable doubt) happened 13.7 billion years ago. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Evolution is a fact, evolutionary theory explains why it happens and provides four different lines of evidence that coalesce to show that evolution is a fact. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    One third of the global economy relies on technology that is based on quantum mechanics, especially quantum electrodynamics (electron-photon or electron-electron interactions). If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Time Dilation is real, it is so real that all clocks if they are precise enough can measure it, and GPS could not possibly work without it.
    If you disagree, send me a PM.

    The 4 philosophically most important aspects of modern science are: Evolutionary theory, Cosmology, Quantum mechanics, and Einsteins theory of general relativity. Understand these to get a grip of reality.

    my favorite music video is online again, its really nice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oABEGc8Dus0
