    "We Are All Connected" was made from sampling Carl Sagan's Cosmos, The History Channel's Universe series, Richard Feynman's 1983 interviews, Neil deGrasse Tyson's cosmic sermon, and Bill Nye's Eyes of Nye Series, plus added visuals from The Elegant Universe (NOVA), Stephen Hawking's Universe, Cosmos, the Powers of 10, and more. It is a tribute to great minds of science, intended to spread scientific knowledge and philosophy through the medium of music.

    Lyrics:
    [deGrasse Tyson]
    We are all connected;
    To each other, biologically
    To the earth, chemically
    To the rest of the universe atomically
    [Feynman]
    I think nature's imagination
    Is so much greater than man's
    She's never going to let us relax
    [Sagan]
    We live in an in-between universe
    Where things change all right
    But according to patterns, rules,
    Or as we call them, laws of nature
    [Nye]
    I'm this guy standing on a planet
    Really I'm just a speck
    Compared with a star, the planet is just another speck
    To think about all of this
    To think about the vast emptiness of space
    There's billions and billions of stars
    Billions and billions of specks
    [Sagan]
    The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it
    But the way those atoms are put together
    The cosmos is also within us
    We're made of star stuff
    We are a way for the cosmos to know itself
    Across the sea of space
    The stars are other suns
    We have traveled this way before
    And there is much to be learned
    I find it elevating and exhilarating
    To discover that we live in a universe
    Which permits the evolution of molecular machines
    As intricate and subtle as we
    [deGrasse Tyson]
    I know that the molecules in my body are traceable
    To phenomena in the cosmos
    That makes me want to grab people in the street
    And say, have you heard this??
    (Richard Feynman on hand drums and chanting)
    [Feynman]
    There's this tremendous mess
    Of waves all over in space
    Which is the light bouncing around the room
    And going from one thing to the other
    And it's all really there
    But you gotta stop and think about it
    About the complexity to really get the pleasure
    And it's all really there
    The inconceivable nature of nature

    My daughter first showed me this. She loved it and I loved it. We listened to it often. She would say Carl Sagan was her real dad (her dad decided not to be a dad). Then when she was diagnosed with cancer, we listened to it in the hospice and it was somehow comforting. Then after she died, we listened to it with her one last time. I hope she finds Carl in those billions and billions of stars.

      @AjarnSpencer he says "across the sea of space, the stars are other suns." And "we have traveled this way before, there is much to be learned."
      Basically, looking out into the night sky, every star is a sun for its own star system, not just a tiny point of light.
      And I think what he's referring to is that we are made of star stuff, the elements that make us what we are, who we are, were forged in long dead stars which were flung out into the universe, and we've found ourselves here. And now is the time we are beginning to reach out into space once again, but we have so much to learn as we progress farther and farther.

      I totally agree with your sentiment about how spiritually profound Sagan's works are. However, I don't think it's a paradox, because he was not an atheist, but an agnostic. As a practitioner of science, Sagan believed that conclusions should be based on verifiable evidence. Because there is no verifiable evidence for or against the existence of god (generally speaking), my understanding is that he didn't come to a conclusion one way or the other, but rather kept an open, albeit skeptical, mind to the possibilities.

    • @Sydebern
      @Sydebern 10 років тому +1

      Carl Sagan surely was not enlightened, he was probably into the transitional phase from the old awareness into the new enlightened state, as many people currently are. I'm not denying that he was a wonderful person who contributed positivity to this world, but if he was enlightened, he would know that thought and therefore science would always completely miss that which is absolutely crucial: the reality of now. That our bodies are made of 'starr stuff' is something which science can prove, but that is not at all the profound realization of enlightenment. It is through suffering (which is ones interpretation of reality) that enlightenment eventually will be realized in everybody, every point of awareness in the universe. Then it will be known that all is literally one, not as a concept of thought, but by absolute knowing. Science is looking everywhere, except where all true answers lie: beneath the human condition which is identification with thought.

    • @neuralmute
      @neuralmute 10 років тому +7

      Jason West
      True, he was far more agnostic than atheist; I usually think of him as being an atheist because of the strong association I draw between his works on critical thought, and the "new" atheist movement that has more or less adopted him as an icon of scientific thought. A little further thinking brings me to the conclusion that a person couldn't be a great scientist without being so full of wonder and awe at the Universe they study.
      Either way, Sagan was a truly great man, and worth every tribute.

I watched Cosmos: A Space Time Odyssey with Neil deGrasse Tyson back in 2014 when it came out and I was 10. It was not the sole reason I’ve always loved science, but it was impactful on me. To know where some of that came from with Sagan and Ann Druyan and discover the ogs. Very touching. It also brings literal tears to my eyes.

    Carl Sagan's words have changed the way I look at the universe and my own life. He has a way of weaving science into an inspiring tapestry of rhetoric that no other human being can compete with. When I imagine that all the atoms that I am made of were once part of a star, it makes all my life's problems seem trivial and gives me a deep feeling of comfort. Sagan has allowed the tiny part of the cosmos that is me to better know itself. Hang on...I think I have something in my eye... =')
    "I'm a collection of organic molecules called Carl Sagan. You're a collection of almost identical molecules with a different collective label. But is that all? Is there nothing inhere but molecules? Some people find that idea somehow demeaning to human dignity, but for myself I find it elevating and exhilarating to discover that we live in a universe which permits the evolution of molecular machines as intricate and subtle as we."

      Doug Blanchard While Watts did talk about the cosmos and how we go with it, he was also before Sagan. Sagan gained prominence after Watts died. Those two really were the wombo combo of articulation for what we really are, and it's a shame nobody has even come close to them since then.
      Watts showed us that the ego doesn't exist, and that there is no true, honest division in nature, and Sagan showed us very similar arguments with science. Watts used experience to realize this, and Sagan used data to showcase this, and I think both experience and data are really needed for one to understand the arguments fully. Both men showed us how interconnected this cosmos is, and it's unfortunate to see people who even in an experiential sense look at it all as cut off stuff, made by creator or mere fluke. Many feel they were something plopped into the world instead of being a process of the world.

      I concur. I try to explain this sometimes to folks but I don't think they understand, whereas I don't have to explain anything to you because you know exactly what I feel. A buddy and I have promised each other we'd fulfill each other's wish after the other's death, and I've instructed him to put this quote from Carl on my tombstone (which is from the SoS Our Place in the Cosmos also): "We've begun at last, to wonder about our origins. Starstuff, contemplating the stars, tracing that long path. Our obligation to survive and flourish is owed, not just to ourselves, but also to that cosmos, ancient and vast, from which we spring." Sagan's Cosmos series makes me so proud to be a part of the universe, but often times, so ashamed to be a human being =\

Which comes down to how powerful thoughts are. Scientists can't pin down what a thought is or where it comes from but yet we all have them and if you don't then you're mentally challenged on some level which appears bad to us.
