The Known Universe by AMNH
The Known Universe takes viewers from the Himalayas through our atmosphere and the inky black of space to the afterglow of the Big Bang. Every star, planet, and quasar seen in the film is possible because of the world’s most complete four-dimensional map of the universe, the Digital Universe Atlas that is maintained and updated by astrophysicists at the American Museum of Natural History. The new film, created by the Museum, is part of an exhibition, Visions of the Cosmos: From the Milky Ocean to an Evolving Universe, at the Rubin Museum of Art in Manhattan through May 2010.

To think that all of our wars, problems, inovations, are all on this little tiny speck. makes you think about how many other worlds just like ours are going through the same stuff we are going through…its awesome
@awsomedude335 reporting from a [10] and agreed
i wonder how advanced would the research instrumentation need to be… WOW its amazing
the video does make me feel melancholy.
there is a lot of space out there , just fuckin mindblowing stuff i have got headache now

@hockeystard89 I agree. But thats the old saying. New version of small could be “Like a planet in the universe.”
@martynspeck Actually I believed in God for the first 22 years of my life, and followed religious teachings. It was my ability to think for myself to break free from religious indoctrination, I never had an atheist teacher- I sought knowledge on my own. Unlike yourself. I don’t follow the beliefs of anyone else, especially the popular ones, if that was the case I would still be a theist sheep like you. I don’t follow stereotypes.. I watch and understand people’s actions on my own.
earth isn’t a grain of sand, earth is more like an atom on a grain of sand.
Truly astonishing and mind blowing stuff. Glad to be alive and part of the universe!
what was the point in going back to the present?
Why can’t I add this to my Favorites?
Thanks for posting , truly awesome .
@MrPlaiedes Our civilization is built on faith AND reason. Science can tell us many things and we have many marvels because of it. However, the question of the origin of the universe is a historical question. It cannot be observed or repeated and therefore is not a scientific question.
@MrPlaiedes I posted a hymn. I find the intolerance of some instructive.
@SinceretheGhost Tell you what. Answer these questions since my other interlocutor has not responded.
But where does the universe come from if He didn’t create it?
Is the universe eternal? Did it self-create? All around me I see entropy and never spontaneous life. You ask me to believe in an eternal self creating universe rather than an eternal creator?
@MrPlaiedes btw. If you spell my name right I’ll see the messages easier.
Can you answer these questions for me?

And yet the question remains, “Where did the universe come from?” The naturalistic answers only replace the answer that it was created by an eternal God with an answer that it either self created or was created out of matter or energy that already existed and never answers where that pre-existing matter or energy came from
Ive said to others that all around me I see entropy and nowhere do I see life spontaneously occur. Yet I’m supposed to believe that live DID spontaneously occure.
Oh and most of these are fictional, we havent even discovered light travel yet or even traveled billions of light years away? And yet we assume too many things about the universe… tsk tsk… science is starting to sound like religion…
It makes you appreciate life, why you alone were chosen to live in such a tiny spot in the universe.
Watch this ^… listen to this >/watch?v=IUGzY-ihqWc… Consider how very, very insignificant you are and how very little your opinion on science or religion matters. Profit.
398 dude couldn’t believe they are smaller than atom
less than a spec of dust..
im high as fuck
@bluesojourn Observations of type Ia supernovae and other standard candles have confirmed that determining cosmological redshift is an adequately reliable method of measuring extragalactic distances. The need for dark matter and energy emerged from observations that did not go hand in hand with the cosmology of that era. If astronomical observations do not count as “EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE”, then I guess what ever you believe in is correct.
Carl Sagan would have loved this, although now he knows all the answers.
