Excerpts from Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in space. More specifically, from the chapter titled A Universe Not Made For Us. I edited together the audio from the audio-book, and added the video from Stephen Hawking’s Into the universe and Brian Cox’s Wonders of the Solar System. The music is Jack’s Theme from the Lost soundtrack.
I am overjoyed by the reaction to this video. To all those who have made such kind comments: thank you! It is a testament to Carl’s seemingly endless brilliance that he is still able to touch so many people over a decade since his death.

I do realize the subtitles are wildly inaccurate and somewhat offensive to some and for that I apologize. YouTube’s auto-transcribe function is still a work-in-progress, but I’ll see what I can do about adding my own subtitles.
If you enjoyed this video, read the magnificent book from which it originated: http://www.amazon.com/Pale-Blue-Dot-Vision-Future/dp/0345376595/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1278371196&sr=8-1

http://www.planetxvideo.com In 1976, Zecharia Sitchin stirred up a great deal of controversy with the publication of his book, The Twelfth Planet. In this and subsequent books, Sitchin presented his literal translations of ancient Sumerian texts which told an incredible story about the origins of humankind on planet Earth – a story far different and much more fantastic than what we all learned in school.
