The incomprehensible vastness of the universe, the wonder of our own place in it all… Carl Sagan was able to explain the science of space in a way everyone could understand.
Among his long list of roles and accomplishments, the Cornell professor and NASA advisor is possibly best known for the 13-part television series, Cosmos, which reached millions of people worldwide and sealed his place as celebrity scientist. Maybe he was teased a bit for his tendency to say “billions”, a lot.
But Carl Sagan had this amazing talent for explaining the scientific wonders of the universe without losing the wonder. When he spoke about the science of space, he captured imaginations and held people in thrall.
As part of our special series, The Experimenters -- we’re uncovering interviews with the icons of science, technology, and innovation -- we found this conversation between Studs Terkel and Carl Sagan in the WFMT Studs Terkel Radio Archive. Following “Contact,” the book he wrote with wife Ann Druyan - and the major motion picture that followed it -- Carl Sagan spoke with Studs all about our continuing search for intelligent life out there, including how, for a long time, Hollywood just got it wrong. Here’s the tape.

I'm always proud to say that Carl Sagan graduated from my high school (Rahway High School). It amazes me that such a profound person walked some of the same halls I do.
why don't you lick the floors
@@carlcrow5990 Jealous much?
@@sagan08 carl sagan was a dimwit just like you!
@@carlcrow5990 And why was he a dimwit?
Rahway High School in NJ? That school has changed completely since the time when he was a student there. In fact probably the only thing that resembles it in any way whatsoever is how some of the outside of the school still looks the same as it did then.
Carl Sagan's demeanor and approach is so out of this world intelligent yet simple and humble in a way that everyone could understand or relate. That's what makes him so special.
I carried a copy of Cosmos with me everywhere in high school. I'd sneak a passage or two in between classes. A genuine inspiration who would never talk down to you. Miss you like crazy, Carl. ❤🌌

Such an amazing intellect, so eloquently spoken. You are deeply missed, Carl.
thank you.
Carl Sagan brought science into our homes and living rooms. He stirred our imaginations and our thirst for knowledge. I know so many people who went into the sciences because of his program, "The Cosmos." There should be a constellation named for him.
The best we have to offer is anything that comes in "Billions and Billions" is a Sagan... A Sagan of human beings, brain cells in a human head, stars in the Milky Way, or expletives describing American politics. The world is these days, about a Sagan shy of rational inquiries... and for that we miss Carl more than words can say.
i love carl sagan. he was such a dreamer and so intelligent!
@@johndoughboy2651 Fuck off loser.
Ashley Klug not so intelligent that he grasped that we are already being visited. Shame he is not around to see the footage released this month by the US Navy of UAP’s ....he would be amazed. Life can be so cruel.

CelestialWoodway That's funny.... anyway to believe that WE are the ONLY planet with Intelligent life in the Infinite Universe is the absolute same as believing that the WORLD is FLAT!!!
Carl the dumbass likes to pretend he goes by evidence as he ignores the science that proves the creation of the universe could not happen without God.
@blub blub and you thought that was science for your side. Wow.

Yes! All that yummy science, in that beautiful, smooth voice...
He sounds like principal skinnard.
Petertunes Space episode of Off The Air is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. it's an art BTW, not a doc.
Oh how I miss Carl Sagan. Gone but never forgotten , Carl. Thank you for your spark of incite into astronomy and science. It is so inspiring...I love looking up at the Universe. You made me want to know where we come from, where we are now, and what the future has in store. What I found out is that exploding stars give birth to new life. I love you Carl Sagan.
Thank you so much for this. I honestly didn't know who Carl Sagan was and your video brought me to further research. What I found is knowledge, and I can't thank you enough. I can only hope that your other viewers do the same about this and every other video you post. There are some serious mind bending personalities on here
It just so happen I got to pick him for an astronomy project, the same day this video was released, this gets me more excited to work on this project now. Thank you for showing this!
the art in this particular video is absolutely beautiful.
The style of this one was particularly fitting! Beautiful work, all!
Carl was an atheist, whatever came out of his mouth were lies.
Do you know who the father of all lies is and the deceiver of the whole world? Satan and he uses his evil, demon puppets in lost souls to speak lies. Be careful of who you listen and entertain with.
There’s more that meets the eye than just a college education, science, religion, and all that foolishness.
To look up and see a plane (and not see a pilot) and say the plane is pilotless is ridiculous, and it is just as ridiculous to look into the heavens and say there is no God just because we cannot see him.
Salvation is a gift offered to the world by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, yet people complicate it with religion.
Here is a message for lost souls - Jesus Christ is God, manifest in the flesh and He came on earth to die for our sins. He bore our sins on the cross of Calvary. Have you accepted His free gift of Salvation? Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour? Have you truly BELIEVED from your heart that Jesus Christ is LORD? Have you BELIEVED in the death, burial and resurrection found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KING JAMES Bible? That's how a lost soul can get saved.
Remember that it's NOT what we do that gets us saved, it's what Jesus Christ DID on the cross of Calvary, that's what SAVES a lost soul.
All you have to do to be saved, and on your way to heaven is place your TRUST in the shed Blood of Jesus Christ and nothing else, as sufficient for your salvation, (Romans 3:25 KJB - "Whom God hath set forth to be a PROPITIATION through FAITH IN HIS BLOOD, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;")
(Propitiation means the act of appeasing wrath, Jesus took your place on the cross.)
Will you accept Jesus Christ as your saviour by simple faith, simply trusting in his shed Blood which is sufficient to save your soul from hell?
The last sentence is all you must do to be saved, and that is FAITH, not works, TRUSTING in what someone else did for you is the only thing that is not a work.
Ephesians 2:8-9 KJB - 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
2 Corinthians 5:7 KJB - (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
Please get saved NOW before it's too late for your soul!! There's 1 Eternity to choose from, Heaven or Hell, choose wisely for your souls!!
Grace and Peace to all in Christ Jesus!!
@@1Corinthians15_1-4 Sagan often tells nonsense, as an atheist he has to, but in this short film it appears that he has not read anything from the Bible about this.
Genesis 1 to 5 tells exactly what happened. only the human-made stories are wrong and Sagan talks about that in this film.
Sometimes the Bible is hard to understand, but not this time.
This UA-cam channel is simply brilliant
I found this channel today and have been watching all their videos. Animated interviews of our greatest people is such a great idea. What an amazing channel.
Clear as water, and relaxing.
We need Carl more now than ever ❤️
...so nice hearing Sagan voice again...we all miss you Carl.
The audio portion was pretty good but the visual was mind-blowingly good.
Carl Sagan's voice is so deep and soothing!
A confident yet gentle voice.
Loved this interview, and the accompanying animation was excellent. Thank you!
Really loved this video, absolutely fab work guys, keep it up!
Feed your people you twat

Buckminster Fuller proved Creationism to be the scientific way of thinking while evolution only reverts to innuendo and stupidity.
Thank you to everyone for making these. Each video offers so much. Contact is one of my favorite films and so I was very happy to see this one pop up!

this is the most wonderful thing I've ever watched in a long while.
I was captivated by Dr.Sagan by the age of five. Personally for me one of the most intriguing human beings to ever live. I could listen to him lecture for hour's and hour's.
i never ever missed an episode of 'cosmos' when i was a kid..
Such a poetic voice! Love and still love watching Cosmos to this day.
Its now 2020 and his words still ring true.
More so now than ever
I really love your videos.Thank you,blank on blank, wherever you are.
Post the full video in the description like a civilized human being please
Dude just sliced and diced thru so many millions of people's belief systems in minutes using logic and reason and science and scientific data.
I’m just glad I got to live in a time with so much understanding of our origins. Experiencing and admiring the universe from which we came from. It was truly an amazing life on this pale blue dot
Thats a beautiful view. Like a childs endless optimism which correlates well considering how little we really know.
Not many videos/podcasts can give me goosebumps. Pleased to say this one did.
Carl Sagan ,you are one loved human being.
That's a lot of wasted love, as its object is a person that does not exist; most certainly by his characterizations of corporeal and tangible, when he did exist.
that guy was so epic - happy we have many records of his views and voice
Any Alan Watts fans out there? Just discovered him several months ago. Life changing.
The way Carl would talk about the world and the universe and humanity is one of the greatest sources of hope.
Humanity lost one of the greatest assets it could ever have when Dr. Sagan passed from this realm but continued on his exploration of the next realm. "He was a man, take him for all in all, I shall not look upon his like again.”
He died.
He was a wonderful person & was easy to listen to R.I.P.
A great man who will inspire for generations.
Carl Sagan passed away well before I was born, and yet hearing him speak I can't help but think that I know him both personally and intimately.
Carl’s common sense view and presentation makes space come to life...VIP
I never wanted the video to end..
He was wonderful.
This series is amazing. Well done.
Beautiful. You should totally do a Fiona Apple, or maybe John Frusciante interview, they have genius material.
+Frederico Hartmann that so? like what?
These are really great! This is easily one of my favorite YT channels. Good work!
THe Bible is the science of the Babylonians in the 6th Century B.C., we've learned some things since then.
made me laugh... try telling that to 40~% americans who believe earth is 6000 years old... :p
Microphunktv try telling that to half of the fucking world you stupid piece of shit you say Americans but you are no different defecate that has a change in it Islam Christian Hinduism Buddhism are all wrong
To be honest, I believe that it is way too early to even guess where we came from, what made us or where everything goes when we all dies. All we can do, is learn. And maybe, just maybe someday, future humans will know the answer.
Perhaps we are not meant to know everything.... and that might be the beauty of life.
@@cartooningfanart
Okay, yeah, but as far as I know science has only been used since now as a tool to investigate, "learn" as you say. No one is saying science holds the absolute truth. And Sagan would agree.
Theres no jesus coming down on a horse,lol
I appreciate the work guys. D'angelo interview would be very dope. In the Voodoo days
I wish I had had Carl Sagan in my life as I was growing up.
Studs and Carl. A thought provoking Dream Team.
sagan was a damn genius
too bad i didn't live in his lifetime and couldn't met him
Sagan was such a wise man. He knew full well of the futility of discussing extraterrestrial life.
We can talk all day long about the vastness of the universe and the potential billions, trillions and quintillions of life-supporting planets out there, but ultimately, we cannot say as a fact that life does exist out there. We simply don't know either way.
The best answer is always, "There **might** be Life out there."
But times change during that time discorverd life could exist everywhere or life as we don’t know it
Times are certainly changing, especially after the US Congress hearing on UAPs
Dr Carl Sagan, a beacon of light 💡 and knowledge, in a world obscured by ignorance, stupidity, and delusions, may the words and works of this fantastic thought provoking teacher, keep educating and enlightening free-thinkers, until the end of human extinction.
Enjoyed the video, huge admirer of Carl Sagan.
Great scientist one of the best
Carl Sagan and Bob Ross talking what they know best is existential listening.
The truth is: Carl was not ready for aliens.
Einstein said if one can't explain somthing easily then they probably don't know that specific topic all that well.
This is what I love about Sagan. He always has a metaphorical analogy to explain things for us layman's to understand.
Do a video on Alvin M Weinberg- a leading nuclear physicist behind not only the history of nuclear power- but who will be behind the future of it too. A fascinating story that shows how politics and business can interfere with the path of science and progress.
If you look at history, religion seemed to be the biggest obstacle. You have to pay the scientist.
Wish Carl Sagan was here to see the official reveal of extraterrestrials
Yes... thought provoking. I must agree and say that religion is holding us back in many ways.
Also the fast growing trend of pseudoscience. Apparently people are more attracted to pseudoscience than real science because it fulfills some of their fantasies contrary to what real science does.
@@robertimmanuel577 agreed
Well, he didn't say that, he said "as a work of science it is simply wrong" which is different.
You're right, *your* religion is holding you back. It's a good thing Islam encourage the advancement of Science, no matter how many centuries science will advance :)
@@robertimmanuel577 yeah pseudo science is ten times worse. Those people literally fight against anything related to science
SOOOOOO amazingly good!! As always!! Thank you!!
Do a Terry Gilliam episode.
Cosmos was my most treasured book showing the poetry of science
Mr. Sagan's books changed my early life. I miss his voice and writing deeply. I just wish he'd have lived to a great old age - he'd have been a great humanist advocate in this age of scientific strife and controversy. Well I guess he still is since us humans know how to preserve information, as per this video. Also, how backwards does it sound today when the interviewer calls our world "the ghetto" in reference to Sagan's assertion that alien life would be vastly more intelligent than us humans? To me it sounds pretty awful in 2016, and I was at least glad that Sagan didn't go on to use that same language.
The word "ghetto" is not used in the same context that you are thinking, I suspect.
It is used as a term to describe a neglected or disadvantaged area (neighborhood) of the Galaxy (Jewish slums of Nazi occupation).
It is not used as a word where rich white girls use it to describe almost everything that's not clad with lilly polos and pearls. It's also not used as a black culture reference, such as wearing house slippers out in public while shopping.
Regardless, Carl Sagan was a savage baller, shot caller.
Jacksirrom indeed I wish he had lived to a great old age he would be around to see the footage of UAP’s released this month by the US Navy and realise he had been totally wrong all his life about contact....he was the sort of person who I’m sure would have taken it on the chin. Hi
@Garrett Strauser I took all of ten seconds to look it up for you Garrett:
noun
a person having a strong interest in or concern for human welfare, values, and dignity.
a person devoted to or versed in the humanities.
a student of human nature or affairs.
a classical scholar.
I only heard his voice in the dubbed version, and hearing his real voice for the "first time" is awesome. I could hear him talking for hours and hours because his voice is so beautiful.
Carl Sagan would have loved mass effect.
Great channel, great episode. Well done.
Soooooo.......who's on board for a cinematic re-telling/autobiographical movie on Carl Sagen starring......wait for it...... Jeff Goldblum. This will work, I want credit and like 20% of all profits. Thank you!
What a great man he was. Some people transcend the norm and become iconic, an institution, Carl Sagan was one such man who you just don't want to leave us.
I loved this.
Always found something mesmerising about Carl Sagan
just a quick note him saying that Islam thinks the world is 6000 years old is incorrect because according to many scholars and from what I've researched, Islam never states how old the world is but rather only how long ago the prophet Mohamed lived. What he said was more of a generalization since they have similar origins. Interesting video though.
Alpha Bah To the best of my knowledge, in addition to the Koran, Islam believes in the Torah, the first 5 books of the Old Testament, just like Christians, Catholics, & Jews. So I guess by default maybe the do believe that the Earth is 6000 years old.
Lol no Muslim believes the earth is 6000 years old.
Most Christians don't believe in the 6000yr old universe. Only American biblical fundamentalist do. Most Christians are Orthodox, Mainline Protestant or Catholic. American fundamentalism is heresy.
Where can I hear the whole interview. I love Carl Sagan and I love Studs Terkel even more!
Basically we are the hillbillies of the universe. LMAO!!!!
I still stand by what I've said, that Carl Sagan was the most brilliant intelligent profound person. that ever graced this planet.
We are the Universe expressing itself as humans.
Amazing video, well done, awesome art.

I admire Carl Sagan so much
It’s incredibly arrogant - and incredibly short-sighted of us - to believe with 100% certainty that we are the only intelligent forms of life in the vast, endless cosmos. For that matter, it’s just as arrogant to consider ourselves to be intelligent at all, when history has proven to us, time and time again, that we are actually anything but.
I’m not referring to intelligence in scientific or technological advances that benefit humankind, there has definitely been bright, shining moments of that (and if Carl were still here, I think he’d acknowledge that) ... but it seems like every time we figure out a way to improve (or even save) lives, those moments are always accompanied by a rabid, closed-minded, selfish paranoia that breeds brand new ways to exploit others, destroy ourselves and each other, and accept our own stupidity with a sense of pride. Carl was unique, not only with his intellect, his open mind, and his forward-thinking approach to life, but also one of the very few who looked at the cosmos as a source of excitement, hope, and anticipation for great things... and not visualizing it as a threatening unknown abstract, or an apocalyptic earth-ending entity, or as a “place” to conquer, with human selfishness and power-hungry greed.
RIP Good Sir.
I hope there’s “another side”, a dimension that has confirmed your hopes, and that you are now there, and in the company of other “what if?” thinkers.
