Sagan, although he regretted it later and defended him, was front and center in silencing and censoring Immanuel Velikovsky and in forcing the publisher to drop Velikovsky as a client despite having been no#1 on the the bestsellers list for 11 straight weeks, something that had not happened before or since and opposite to the values he preached. To add insult to injury it was alleged that Velikovsky was pushing pseudoscience even though much of what he was proposing was self admitted speculation. Velikovsky has since been validated on the radio signals from Jupiter, The magnetized nature of moon rocks, the atmospheric composition and temperature of Venus, The electrical nature of Saturn and dozens of other points used to motivate his speculation. Sagan admitted the treatment of Velikovsky was wrong in his Cosmos series but stopped short of issuing an apology. He also clearly made the statement carrying bitterness from his consistent defeat at the hands of Velikovsky in 1 to 1 debates and couldn't resist getting in a couple of barbed comments, it was observed by many at the time that the only time they saw Sagan flusted was during his discussions with Velikovsky. That is not an excuse by the values of science that Sagan promotes so eloquently. I say this as a fan of Contact and SETI but not as a fan of burying those who disagree with you when they should be held in the very highest echelons of science for their remarkable intuitive grasp of scientific thinking personally and individually overturning thinking in 46 different scientific disciplines.
To make a comparison such as that, holds next to no merit. Both men reached their pinnacle in completely different worlds. In the most fundamental sense. Being a visionary is a rare trait these days, so for Musk and Sagan to stay true on their vision is something I greatly respect. It's something all others should strive for
That's what I really hate, intro's to 'important' lectures. Everyone knows who they've come to see and doesn't need anyone to tell them anything about the lecturer. They just can't help themselves. "Welcome all, Carl Sagan!" Would have been quite enough. :)
A physics poet. Took the most difficult language of nature and the stars and made it sound like it was right next door for anyone to grab hold and understand. One of the brilliant minds in the history of mankind. RIP to a legend
A true pioneer in a complex and complicated branch of the physical sciences which he simplified to a point where children are drawn and captivated by it! You are missed, Caal! You are missed!

Does anyone else suddenly realise they've been smiling whenever Carl Sagan is talking? Despite the sadness of knowing that he'd be gone three years later, and that he probably knew it himself at this time, I still found myself smiling the whole way through this ... What a human!
If there were sainthoods, and I'm not saying there are. But if there were I would suspect those such as sagan, hitchens, ghandhi, and such are probably saints. And to look upon a saint, even a soon to be saint how do you but smile.
@@bengee1040 personally I think Carl Sagan is a saint in a category of its own. I don’t think Hitchens showed the same generous humanity. And Gandhi had his issues. But Carl? I haven’t been able to find him a flaw yet.
@@scott6504 It's a joke dude. Carl was annoyed by that but he did say it just for fun once. Trust me I know more about CS than you can imagine. Have a nice day!
I am also from Nepal and Sagan became an inspiration, when I was in my eighth grade, I got to listen to him for the first time. Now, I am an undergrad student of physics at the Central Campus of Technology. And after my graduation, I want to bring changes in my country Nepal, as Sagan tried to bring in the USA.
R.I.P Mr Sagan. I'm sure he's out there Somewhere with all of the Other Great Minds Learning Even More, Getting Their Minds Blown From the Great Creator !!👉😜😇😇😇😇
"Btw, There's a fundamental reason why flash photography and projection slides wont work" Carl Sagan is humbling brilliant. Such a role model.. Even though she was probably taking a picture of Mr. Sagan.
@@Gaybraham.Lincoln He really isn't, he never believed in the fairy tales of "Afterlife". He was a true scientist, to the end. Highly intelligent, always said "It's a wonderful story, but there is NO evidence.".
My dad kinda knew Sagan. He worked as a photographer on the set of Cosmos, just taking behind-the-scenes shots of Sagan, the crew, the sets. There's a really nice shot of my dad and Sagan talking. My dad tells me that even after he became very famous he was still very friendly and would talk to anyone. He's got a couple Sagan stories, nothing very interesting, they weren't close or anything. But the way my dad describes him, he was a very nice man.
to hisvorpalsword, you must be very proud, these moments are the moments that make you smile after thinking about them, also, I could just imagine seeing a big undated black & white photograph of Carl Sagan with a smile on his face talking with another person heads slightly tilted, both talking, well really at this point The photo marks a most profound historical event, & I am not sure if your Father is still alive or not, but if I was you, I would find that photo, get it processed & enlarged as big as poster size, & put it up in the lounge room with a lovely framed background, think about this, you do this "& maybe within your lifetime we finally make contact, at least on the mainstream aspect, I don't presume to think it hasn't happened, but that in the big picture the period of the moment scince that photo taken, until the moment our species finds out that we have a much larger cosmic family, well the moment of the photo until the moment of confirmation of other life is like a time wise galactic nano second, because the relavence of that photo time wise until we observe fruits of our labour in terms of a young space faring planet, is currently still very relevant even if the photograph is like a classic black & white 1960's photo.

Crazy to think that - if Carl Sagan were alive today - he would be 84. Well into his mid eighties. And even at such an old age, I wonder what kinds of contributions to science he would make, if at all. Moreover, I wonder what kind of impact he would have on our world and our planet.
I don't believe it to be your intention, but you speak as if he does not still contribute. He continues to inspire young minds, including my nephew. He is 8 years old and loves watching Cosmos. Googol is his favorite subject for now. Thanks Carl.
@@plantpowered269 Look up Carl's "Bamboozled" quote along with his warning about only those in government understanding science. He saw Trump coming decades away.
Wow... this man was so amazing. I never seen more comments about a person who's past, be full of admiration, respect, love, and longing. Everyone brings up the fact that he's dead but do so in their own unique way. Its absolutely beautiful.. Carl Sagan would be filled with such delight if knew now how much people in the world still cared about his vision.
The way carl is able to articulate complex ideas into simpler form has motivated non science people to take interest in science and physics. Indeed he is one of the greatest mind to ever lived on this ''pale blue dot''.
I've just recently discovered Carl Sagan, fell in love with his legacy, and found out that he died. I'm listening this with awe and grief, and can't reconcile that he is no more among us. I can imagine how disappointed he would have been if he had known what happened during these 30 years: Trump, Amazon forest on fire, a very little progress in greenhouse gases pollution, hunger, devalvation of education, nuclear threat is still real...😥
I urge you to read or listen to "The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark" and you don't have to imagine anything, as he warned us these things would happen in this book, written back in 1995...
Not many people know about him anymore. I first read Cosmos back in the 90's when I was in high school. It was an eye opener and it encouraged me to delve into science. I was very sad when he died back in 1996.
I love the way he pronounce the words with soo much interest , so poetic ....everything articulated down into sentences , and his voice fits perfect for it ....hsh
A thought occurred to me as Mr Sagan was describing all the greenhouse gases we are adding to this planet. The aliens might believe that we are not indigenous to this planet but are terraforming it.
20:30 lmao Carl was actually very funny, I love the emphasis he puts on BOONdocks. It makes me laugh every time I watch this lecture, which I come back to regularly. RIP Carl we miss you, there will never be another quite like you. I enjoy Neil DeGrasse Tyson a whole lot, and he I believe he is the best from our era and does a fantastic job in his own way. But Carl was a very special individual and I still stand by my original statement. I also really enjoy the work done by Brian Cox as an honorable mention, the man is constantly smiling and you can tell how much he enjoys his work and bringing knowledge to people that otherwise might not learn about it
The man is genius. The first book I ever read was from him about our solar system. He would turn in his grave if we told him today there are still millions of people who insist the earth is flat! I know how that hurts a living human, but it does not hurt him any longer. I tend to say things as they are - which brings me often in trouble. The truth is troubling and I see Carl's frustration about ignorance between the lines of his speeches. RIP CARL SAGAN.
I remember watching Cosmo. Excellent series. He was brilliant in taking complex subjects and making a easy to understand scenario. I was so sad when we lost him. Thanks Dr. Sagan
Yes, I cried when I learned of his passing. …and my favorite quote from the original Cosmos series was when Dr. Sagan said, “In the deepest sense, the search for extraterrestrial life is the search for who we are.”
@@AALavdas wholly agree. I first read the COSMOS when I was just 11yrs old, and watched the series which aired in the UK on BBC2. It changed my whole outlook on life. One of many I have found though out my life. Dr Sagan is greatly missed. His ideas of introducing young kids to the universe with the message be what you can be, your imagination is the future. I always remember a story he told, he went as a kid to his local library and asked the librarian could he have a book on Stars, the lady librarian returned saying here you go kid! it was a book about the Hollywood stars of the era. He politely said no a book about the Sun you know stars. Just goes to show how dumb we treat Children. Sagan a true genius of our time, I hope in the future he goes down in history with the greats.
Mine too. FYI, I know you're more of a math[s] person, but an ellipsis is... Wait for it... Three dots, no space before, one after, capital letter following. Just some step in your prep. :D :P
They certainly were. The International Flat Earth Research Society was formed in 1956. They just didn't have the internet to organize and amplify their delusion on present scales.
no we just didnt know about it because People couldnt just believe every meaning they were inspired by online, because some sciencetist were just creating that universe
Indeed. And nobody was saying much of anything relating to our existence that wasn't first vindicated by Mr. Sagan. To watch Cosmos in real time when it was first aired was a wonderfully fresh and enlightening program of which I always watched wihout fail. It eventually went on to become a timeless and engaging way to look at life on Earth and in turn, our place in the immense distances and power of our solar system. I'd like to believe Carl is where he wanted to be long before his heartbreaking passing.
Great minds are not bound by time. We are lucky to have records of such people as Carl, so that we can still be taught by them when they are no longer with us.
It's interesting how much of this lecture is also featured in Sagan's book Pale Blue Dot (e.g, the segment about cars being Earth's dominant organisms)
You hit the nail on the head, again!!!! I started to view all your u tube videos since only July 2021 but I’ve watched , listened and verified 3-5 hours each night and you opened my mind to Life!!!! This is a must view by all in Life!!! All in Governments also!!! We are we’re blessed by your life- i thank you!!!
How sad that such an intelligent man as Carl Sagan was, had to die, instead of all those horrible politicians and other people in power that are still alive doing so much harm to us , to the earth, or to the "Pale blue dot" as Carl Sagan called it.
The sudden ending is our full teaching moment. And we have to ponder, if he was alive today - so much is in this lecture, imagine what he would be saying today. Maybe our fate is to end quickly....after a civilization festooned with billions of brilliant cosmological discoveries.
What a genius man this was. After learning, reading, hearing and seeing this much from him I proudly can say, he is one of 2 personalities that clearly and strongly influenced my life. Thank you so much carl, so so so much.
... Dr Carl Sagan, the consummate thinker, one of the finest students of Logic that I know of. one of my very few personal Heroes ... Rest in Peace, and know if you can, what a great loss your mortality was ...
Brilliant man, excellent presenter and speaker , great sense of humor and decent human being. Cosmos what is the best book an even better TV series. It was on a level anybody could understand.
When I heard My understanding of spiritual dimensions explained by carl with the 2-D 3-d example it changed my faith forever. He was trying to explain it relative to anti logic perspective but it definitely was founded in logic and reasoning originally and is one the coolest plagiarized examples of which he left many for us to teach by.
Carl Sagan explains the many observations made with Discovery 1 and Discovery 2. The picture of the pale blue dot was taken by Discovery 1 . Today NASA managed to recuperate signals from Discovery 1 - 46 years after its launch - as it leaves the solar system and ventures further- far overreaching its goals. The James Webb telescope gives us startling pictures of galaxies that we could only imagine when Carl Sagan made this speech. But his message then is further proven correct by scientific evidence. We miss Carl Sagan today to give us a glimpse of this
This lecture entitled “Is there intelligent life on Earth” .. two hours… begins w a funny.. old Persian story.. when a wise… visior (sp?) asks.. “which is more important the sun or the moon… answering: the Moon because it shines at nighttime and the sun shines in the daytime, when it’s light anyway”. Soooo great… gold.. ♥️🧡💛🥰💛🖤🌖.. notes for a Facebook post.. I’ll leave here as well.. what a pleasure this man is.. xoxox
This is what the internet is for people.
Exceptional human beings imparting knowledge and wisdom.
And exceptional beautiful ladies imparting sensuality and eroticism
OK, Elon Musk fans - if you want to know what an ACTUAL human hero looks like, sounds like, and acts like, then look no further than Carl Sagan.
C’mon, i admire both! One is a scientist and visionaire the other one is an engineer, visionaire and businessman, both worthy of praise and admiration

You hit the nail on the head, again!!!! I started to view all your u tube videos since only July 2021 but I’ve watched , listened and verified 3-5 hours each night and you opened my mind to Life!!!!
This is a must view by all in Life!!!
All in Governments also!!! We are we’re blessed by your life- i thank you!!!
Starts at 9:50.
thanks
How sad that such an intelligent man as Carl Sagan was, had to die, instead of all those horrible politicians and other people in power that are still alive doing so much harm to us , to the earth, or to the "Pale blue dot" as Carl Sagan called it.
Thank you for rescuing this wonderful talk!
85 yesterday. Happy Birthday!
Yes, the whole world misses this great man
Thanks for posting, love the Q&A
A man like this deserves a sound engineer not the janitor.
i'm parked in the galactic boondocks, please help, lol
So much knowledge, real genius
The sudden ending is our full teaching moment. And we have to ponder, if he was alive today - so much is in this lecture, imagine what he would be saying today. Maybe our fate is to end quickly....after a civilization festooned with billions of brilliant cosmological discoveries.
Many valid points. My life has changed since picking up your book. Rip Carl Sagan. Rest in Paradise friend
Phillip Anthony C. jr. 2pac pacman which book did you read?
What a genius man this was. After learning, reading, hearing and seeing this much from him I proudly can say, he is one of 2 personalities that clearly and strongly influenced my life. Thank you so much carl, so so so much.
... Dr Carl Sagan, the consummate thinker, one of the finest students of Logic that I know of. one of my very few personal Heroes ... Rest in Peace, and know if you can, what a great loss your mortality was ...
What a wonderful and refreshing spirit
Brilliant man, excellent presenter and speaker , great sense of humor and decent human being.
Cosmos what is the best book an even better TV series. It was on a level anybody could understand.
And May I add to that ebullient introduction many marijuana growers are deeply indebted to him.
fantastic lecture !!!
Clever, eloquent, witty and very very cool
The Bil Hicks of Astronomy. Funny, brilliant, and died too soon...
Wonderful
I do acknowledge it was a striking vue in this video.
انت السابق وأنا اللاحق ي دكتور ساجان ، سلام الئ روحك التي لن تعود لهذا العالم الفاني
هههههههه
I love how this video was ripped from an old VHS tape
It's so rare to find someone like him. What a legend.
His clarity has always been a breath of fresh air to me.
These recent vids have been KILLIN it!
I really don't like many people at all, Carl Sagan is an exception. A great intelligent humble man. Rest in peace x
Bet you're fun at parties? 🤣
Great video.
This is a diamond.
it's better than diamond, it's stardust.
Watch and listen to Carl segan at night to relax n go to sleep 😴. Love him. Super interesting and intelligent.
I'm starting to believe in life in other solar systems.
Dr.Sagan with his charisma and refreshing candour could have sold ice cubes to the Eskimo.
I am so happy I can even comment this time whilst mankind remembers him.
Remember what he said.
If anybody deserves to be part of the cosmos, it's def Mr. Sagan my hero!! The human race still doesn't get it, sad~
When I heard My understanding of spiritual dimensions explained by carl with the 2-D 3-d example it changed my faith forever. He was trying to explain it relative to anti logic perspective but it definitely was founded in logic and reasoning originally and is one the coolest plagiarized examples of which he left many for us to teach by.
Carl Sagan explains the many observations made with Discovery 1 and Discovery 2. The picture of the pale blue dot was taken by Discovery 1 . Today NASA managed to recuperate signals from Discovery 1 - 46 years after its launch - as it leaves the solar system and ventures further- far overreaching its goals. The James Webb telescope gives us startling pictures of galaxies that we could only imagine when Carl Sagan made this speech. But his message then is further proven correct by scientific evidence.
We miss Carl Sagan today to give us a glimpse of this
Before i say this i love hitchens and harris. This guy is my new HERO
This lecture entitled “Is there intelligent life on Earth” .. two hours… begins w a funny.. old Persian story.. when a wise… visior (sp?) asks.. “which is more important the sun or the moon… answering: the Moon because it shines at nighttime and the sun shines in the daytime, when it’s light anyway”. Soooo great… gold.. ♥️🧡💛🥰💛🖤🌖.. notes for a Facebook post.. I’ll leave here as well.. what a pleasure this man is.. xoxox
Sagan was a great man.
There is no truly intelligent lifr on Earth.
He definitely wrote it though. It's in first chapter of the book Cosmos, "billions and billions."
"A galaxy is composed of gas and dust and stars billions upon billions of stars."
I love this man.
What a genius! Sad we didn't listen.
For those looking for the bunion lecture, I'm working on it it's just been difficult to find the time recently.
Master of masters Humble as none.
It's a funny convention still common today to have someone introduce someone to introduce someone at a lecture.
Sagan in Swedish means fairytale. Exactly the same spelling.
and in polish means 'pot' or 'kettle'.
In English It means - genius
No shit? Props for the relate
Difficult to find people like him. Science for human wisdom, not humans for science.
Such an amazing human being .. wish he was around..😢
Damn, the way he answered that last question was a perfect 'mic drop.'
Unlimited "Thanks" to you, Carl, wherever you are.
He's nowhere... he's in the same place he was before he was born. His leftover physical bits are currently feeding worms.
Starts at 9:25
Thank you.
Holy light! He knew from 93 that those trash are destroying our planet..amd athmosphere
