00:00Hello, my name is Anne Drianne.
00:05When Carl Sagan, Steven Soder and I wrote the Cosmos television series in the late 1970s,
00:11a lot of things were different.
00:13Back then, the United States and the Soviet Union held the whole planet in a perpetual hostage crisis called the Cold War.
00:20The wealth and scientific ingenuity of our civilization was being squandered on a runaway arms race
00:26that employed more than half the world's scientists and infested the Earth with 50,000 nuclear weapons.
00:35So much has happened since then. The Cold War is history, and science has made great strides.
00:42We've completed the spacecraft reconnaissance of the solar system,
00:46the preliminary mapping of the visible universe that surrounds us,
00:50and we have charted the universe within, the human genome.
00:55When Cosmos was first broadcast, there was no World Wide Web. It was a different world.
01:01What a tribute to Carl Sagan, a scientist who took many a punch for daring to speculate
01:07that even after 20 of the most eventful years in the history of science,
01:12Cosmos requires few revisions and indeed is rich in prophecy.
01:18Cosmos is both a history of the scientific enterprise and an attempt to convey the soaring spiritual high of its central revelation,
01:28our oneness with the universe.
01:31Now please, enjoy Cosmos, the proud saga of how, through the searching of 40,000 generations of our ancestors,
01:40we have come to discover our coordinates in space and in time,
01:45and how, through the awesomely powerful method of science,
01:50we have been able to reconstruct the sweep of cosmic evolution,
01:54and to find our own part in its great story.
02:00the main purpose of how, through the
03:51Humensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home, the Earth.
03:57For the first time, we have the power to decide the fate of our planet and ourselves.
04:03This is a time of great danger, but our species is young and curious and brave.
04:10It shows much promise.
04:12In the last few millennia, we have made the most astonishing and unexpected discoveries about the cosmos and our place within it.
04:20I believe our future depends powerfully on how well we understand this cosmos, in which we float like a mote of dust in the morning sky.
04:30We're about to begin a journey through the cosmos.
04:40We'll encounter galaxies and suns and planets, life and consciousness, coming into being, evolving and perishing.
04:50Worlds of ice and stars of diamond, atoms as massive as suns and universes smaller than atoms.
04:59But it's also a story of our own planet and the plants and animals that share it with us.
05:06And it's a story about us, how we achieved our present understanding of the cosmos, how the cosmos has shaped our evolution and our culture, and what our fate may be.
05:17We wish to pursue the truth no matter where it leads, but to find the truth, we need imagination and skepticism both.
05:31We will not be afraid to speculate, but we will be careful to distinguish speculation from fact.
05:37The cosmos is full beyond measure of elegant truths, of exquisite interrelationships, of the awesome machinery of nature.
05:49The surface of the earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean.
05:54On this shore, we've learned most of what we know.
05:58Recently, we've waded a little way out, maybe ankle deep, and the water seems inviting.
06:04Today, some part of our being knows this is where we came from.
06:10We long to return.
06:13And we can, because the cosmos is also within us.
06:16We're made of star stuff.
06:19We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.
06:23The journey for each of us begins here.
06:26We're going to explore the cosmos in a ship of the imagination,
06:30unfettered by ordinary limits on speed and size.
06:35Drawn by the music of cosmic harmonies, it can take us anywhere in space and time.
06:41Perfect as a snowflake, organic as a dandelion seed,
06:47it will carry us to worlds of dreams and worlds of facts.
06:53Come with me.
06:54Before us is the cosmos on the grandest scale we know.
07:10We are far from the shores of earth, in the uncharted reaches of the cosmic ocean,
07:21strewn like sea froth on the waves of space are innumerable faint tendrils of light,
07:28some of them containing hundreds of billions of suns.
07:33These are the galaxies, drifting endlessly in the great cosmic dark.
07:41In our ship of the imagination, we are halfway to the edge of the known universe.
07:49In this, the first of our cosmic voyages, we begin to explore the universe revealed by science.
08:07Our course will eventually carry us to a far-off and exotic world.
08:19But from the depths of space, we cannot detect even the cluster of galaxies in which our Milky Way is embedded,
08:26much less the sun or the earth.
08:29we cannot detect even theREE.
