    My own musical tribute to two great men of science. Carl Sagan and his cosmologist companion Stephen Hawking present: A Glorious Dawn - Cosmos remixed. Almost all samples and footage taken from Carl Sagan's Cosmos and Stephen Hawking's Universe series.
    RIP Dr. Sagan, you will be missed!!
    This song is now out on 7" vinyl through Jack White and friends at Third Man Records! Check it out here:

    Lyrics:
    [Sagan]
    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 of elegant truths
    Of exquisite interrelationships
    Of the awesome machinery of nature
    I believe our future depends powerfully
    On how well we understand this cosmos
    In which we float like a mote of dust
    In the morning sky
    But the brain does much more than just recollect
    It inter-compares, it synthesizes, it analyzes
    it generates abstractions
    The simplest thought like the concept of the number one
    Has an elaborate logical underpinning
    The brain has its own language
    For testing the structure and consistency of the world
    [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 full of strange sounding ideas
    [Sagan}
    How lucky we are to live in this time
    The first moment in human history
    When we are in fact visiting other worlds
    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
    Help us caption & translate this video!

    This song changed the trajectory of my life: after being disillusioned with musical theatre and losing a bit of myself, I saw this over 10 years ago. I read everything I could from Sagan, and others, and decided that I wanted to study astrophysics. I’ve earned my PhD now, have been published in scientific journals, and work to bring the inspiration that this brought me to others.
    I thank you, profoundly.

      Congratulations! It got me a bit emotional reading this. Thanks for sharing. How can I find your publications? I once wanted to be an astrophysicist myself. Studied a lot into the subject, but my field is computer engineering and neuroscience instead. I'll always love astronomy and physics with a passion of course. Really wishing you the absolute best in your journey ahead, let's keep pushing science forward.

      Well then you don't have time for interstellar hydrogen to collect into stars, undergo nuclear fusion to transform it into other heavier elements, the stars to go supernova, the resulting nebula to form the planet earth, the elements to combine into basic organic compounds, those organic compounds to form single celled organisms, and those single celled organisms to evolve into wheat, apples, cinnamon, chickens (for the eggs), sugar cane, etc. I suppose you could go out and buy pre-evolved apples, but then that's not really from scratch.

      I listened to the Cosmos episode this was lifted from. He was trying to describe the possible view from a world well above the galactic plane. Instead of seeing a smear of stars as we see the Milky Way from within the disk the view from above the plane would get to see the full spread of the spirals.
      I’d like to think of it as a possible future for humanity. A human presence that spans most of the 400 billion-or-so stars. A civilization whose exploits would utterly dwarf the grandest human exploits to the present day.

    • @Parpyduck
      @Parpyduck Před 2 lety +13

      Mankind's destructive nature, perversely, is what led to many great technological leaps, advances in medicine and engineering innovations that the scientific community co-opted and tweaked to better our collective lot and hopefully extend our species existence in the universe. From radar to rocketry to nuclear power, much of what allows us to discover our universe has its roots in man yearning to kill more efficiently.

I pulled out of a nose dive of destructive behaviors (addiction and belief in ridiculous things we're gonna not talk about) and decided to embrace the ideas Carl and Stephen stood for. Courageous exploration of the truth with no regard for where it might lead even if it changes everything? Sign me up.

My favourite line is at the end, where Sagan says the surface of the earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean ... and the water is inviting. Beautiful.

    Carl Sagan is not dead - He's alive as long as we remember who he was, for those of you under 50 - we'll meet him in VR in a few decades and talk to him directly
    THATS how high I am

      Don’t be pissed. Be happy you found it. Many people will never know of it. Of all the songs in the world it’s my favorite.

    After hearing about the movie about Stephen Hawking, wouldn't it be great to see one about Carl ?

    Such a great and haunting melody to accompany such a beautiful and poetic genius. I discovered this at least ten years ago and here it is June of 2024 and I still revisit often. Just wonderful.

    He's still part of the cosmos, as we all have been forever, and will be- forever.
