Carl Sagan: A Universe Not Made For Us

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

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.

Watch this video with Spanish subtitles here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yPLzUpHqHM

Watch this video with Arabic subtitles here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWeNlZKhk4c
Watch this video with Russian subtitles here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HvhImhF914

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

For those of you interested in my other work, here is a zombie movie that some friends and I put together in a couple of days (NSFW): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS-pYx72kAI&feature=PlayList&p=67B53ADA0AC49FC1&index=0&playnext=1

Nibiru: Planet X Nibiru

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

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.

The ancient cuneiform texts – some of the earliest known writing, dating back some 6,000 years – told the story of a race of beings called the Anunnaki. The Anunnaki came to Earth from a planet in our solar system called Nibiru, according to the Sumerians via Sitchin. If you’ve never heard of it, that’s because mainstream science does not recognize Nibiru as one of the planets that revolves around our Sun. Yet it is there, claims Sitchin, and its presence holds great importance not only for humankind’s past, but our future as well.

Nibiru’s orbit around the Sun is highly elliptical, according to Sitchin’s books, taking it out beyond the orbit of Pluto at its farthest point and bringing it as close to the Sun as the far side of the asteroid belt (a ring of asteroids that is known to occupy a band of space between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter). It takes Nibiru 3,600 years to complete one orbital journey, and it was last in this vicinity around 160 B.C.E. As you can imagine, the gravitational effects of a sizable planet moving close to the inner solar system, as it is claimed for Nibiru, could wreak havoc on the orbits of other planets, disrupt the asteroid belt and spell big trouble for planet Earth.

Well, prepare for yet another possible apocalypse because, they say, Nibiru is once again heading this way – and will be here soon.

Edgar Cayce & The Universe part 5/12

Monday, April 26th, 2010

16 January 2008
Astronomy writer James Mullaney discussed his book Edgar Cayce and the Cosmos, which examines the “Sleeping Prophet’s” readings about the universe. As a scientist, he was initially skeptical about
the Cayce material (which was delivered in a trance state), but upon study, he was won over by its accuracy and insights.

Some highlights he presented from Cayce’s readings:

# Someone in antiquity had a telescope, but it was found rather than built by that person’s civilization.
# There is no life like ours in the solar system, but there are other beings/civilizations elsewhere in the universe.
# The stars and planets do not govern our future.
# In a sense, sunspots are caused by the turmoil of the human race.

Cayce, who died in 1945 and often spoke of past lives in his readings, may have reincarnated on another world, Mullaney suggested. Cayce’s entire 14,306 readings are available on a searchable
CD-ROM, which Mullaney said he used in his research.

Coast to Coast AM – Mar 26 2010 – Consciousness & the Universe part 1/9

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

PLAYLIST: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=54FCCA59399F6B0B
Filling in for George Noory, Art Bell welcomed renegade thinker and scientist, Robert Lanza, who discussed how life and consciousness are essential to the existence of our universe — a
controversial theory called “biocentrism”. Numerous experiments show that everything we see out there, every single particle, depends on the presence of an observer, he said.

Citing the two-hole experiment, in which particles are beamed toward a barrier with double slits, Lanza pointed out that an observed particle acts as one would expect and goes through a single
hole. When unobserved, however, the particle behaves like a wave and passes through multiple slits at the same time. Lanza suggested that our observations effect the world around us as well, and
without conscious observers (in the form of biological life) there would be no universe at all.

space and time are not external objects and do not exist independent of an observer’s mind, he continued. Lanza likened time to a vinyl record on a turntable. All of the songs exist simultaneously
even if you only experience them one at a time. He further proposed that the choices we make in our present can effect the past, noting the conclusions of a recently published experiment in which
scientists retroactively changed a quantum event that had already happened.

This theory of time may dramatically alter our understanding of what we think are linear-based events, such the Big Bang. According to Lanza, without a consciousness there to observe it, the Big
Bang exists only as a probability state. As an example, he referenced the work of late physicist John Wheeler, who advanced the notion that light from distant quasars only existed when it was
observed.

Lanza also spoke briefly about human cloning and stem cell research.
