In "Cosmos: Possible Worlds" episode 12, the narrative focuses on exploring the potential futures of a baby born on the day the show premiered, highlighting the various paths her life could take depending on the choices made by society and the environment, often emphasizing the importance of addressing climate change and its impact on future generations; essentially illustrating how our actions today can shape the world a child will inherit.
Key points about the episode:
1. Central theme:
The potential for a child's future based on the choices made by humanity, particularly regarding environmental issues.
2. Focus on climate change:
The episode likely uses the baby's story to illustrate the potential consequences of climate inaction and the importance of taking steps to mitigate its effects.

00:05We all see our future somewhat blurred, but there was another era like today.
00:12Like when some people saw a star while passing through the darkness
00:18Carl Segan wrote, "When I was a child, it was a time full of hope. I was a child in my school.
00:26I wanted to be a scientist from an early age and that was the moment when I first realized this.
00:33I realized that the stars are mighty suns when I first
00:48But I definitely wanted to explore its vast world; I was captivated by the grandeur of the universe.
00:56I was fascinated by the possibility of how nature works, how deep mysteries can be solved.
01:03What will this new world be like, this Brahma?
01:24The romance of science is as charming and new to me today as it was the day
01:33I got to see some amazing things at the New York World's Fair in 1949.
01:47My future seemed set for this, but how could hope remain in 1949?
01:55The world had fallen into the hands of people who spoke no language other than hatred and division.
02:04were not
02:04Then the deadliest battle ever took place in which more than 60 people were killed.
02:11And this was only the beginning, yet in this period of darkness, young Karl Seguin and his contemporaries
02:18saw a golden future
02:21A future so full of possibilities that many of them worked hard for years to achieve it.
02:29could become a scientist and engineer
02:54Television, once considered a miracle, became a reality in the World War II of 1949.
03:01We had learned to channel electrons into a force that had the power to transform civilization.
03:07This is a working model of a TV set.
03:10It was made transparent so that critics could see that what they were looking at were just motion picture images.
03:18was not even
03:19The images on television were live signals coming from somewhere far away.
03:24Here, for the first time, a glimpse of a possible world with high technology was shown.
03:40Carl Sagan was the first person to explore space and time on the Ship of Imagination.
03:47Well, there is something else common between us, we both want to live our lives at this place.
03:52had transformative experiences
03:54here in Flushing Meadow New York
03:59My family took me to the 1964 World's Fair when I was about the same age as I was.
04:06I am with my parents on their left.
04:09Then, twenty-five years later, our world faced different problems.
04:14The superpowers filled the world with thousands and millions of nuclear weapons.
04:19And the tension was so high that an explosion could happen at any moment.
04:23School children like me often prepared for such an accident.
04:29We all knew that our lives could end at any moment.
04:33But the 1964 World Cup offered a glimpse of a future full of possibilities.
04:39In which there was no danger, where the direction of science and technology was again turned towards hopes and dreams
04:46Was
04:47The memories of this trip are still fresh in my mind.
04:50My father was the New York City Key Administrator during the Civil Rights Movement
04:55And the government named a monorail after him for a day.
05:00We proudly rode Tyson Comet at the fair
05:05I still remember the lifelike animatronic dinosaurs
05:09And I was amazed to think that we were able to learn about events that happened so long ago.
05:15Earth is the only place where we or humans exist.
05:19I still remember this feeling
05:22The main symbol of this fair was the Unisphere.
05:25This was Pritvi's prediction regarding the cosmos.
05:28No one had ever seen Prithvi from space before.
05:34This was the time when everything seemed desperate to touch the sky.
05:42Now it was as if the buildings also wanted to take off
05:45The future looked quite bright
05:48Prithivi seemed like a place where there was poverty and no hunger.
05:55Some promises were not fulfilled and some things happened like this
05:59whose completion could not even be imagined in dreams at that time
06:03Take one thing from me
06:05Forget about the comforts you have today.
06:09Imagine you've never seen a laptop, tablet, or smartphone.
06:15You've never searched for anything online.
06:18Or you never received an email or text message.
06:22This was the time when if you wanted to know about the history of life, about the lyrics of a song
06:28would have to know
06:29So you had to go to the nearest laboratory.
06:35Like many people of that era, this was where I first encountered a computer.
06:41On my right is the IBM Optical Character Reader
06:44This machine reads handwritten numbers.
06:47You can enter any date of your choice.
06:49And it will tell you about the news related to that day.
06:52Write this date on a card.
06:54And the IBM Optical Character Reader will read the numbers you type.
06:58Then this computer will give you the news related to that day.
07:04Imagine how surprised I would be to know this.
07:08that a machine can read my birth date
07:11And can even tell the most important events that will happen that day.
07:15How could a machine do this?
07:19But despite such a bright future
07:22The impact on it could not be avoided.
07:27The vehicles that dreamed of taking us to other worlds
07:31He was also threatening to destroy the world.
07:34They could also carry explorers.
07:37Or even mass murderers
07:40This Project Mercury spacecraft recently carried Scott Kapenter into Earth orbit.
07:46There was a Gemini spacecraft with two astronauts.
07:50which was not going to be operated on for another year
07:53And the best part was that the Apollo Command Station and the lunar lander were so close to me that I could have touched them.
08:00The first manned mission to the Moon was still four years away.
08:05Just think about the extraordinary courage of that era.
08:08We were going to put humans on the moon and bring them back safely.
08:12And these were amazing computers.
08:15Whose most amazing trick was to tell you what happened on the day you were born
08:23So many decades have passed
08:25But I can't believe we actually did all this.
08:28But like time, the hope I found in the Worlds Fair
08:32She could never be separated from me.
08:34Of course the odds were against us
08:36But fifty years later, we've come to this point.
08:40And still dreaming this dream
08:42what else could the future hold for us
08:52Come with me
08:53In the 2049 You You Yoke Worlds Fair
09:11Taniya Pie
09:12that this could be the case in the 29th century
09:20That brother, we and others will stay here.
09:22That and these are thirty-nine Mosin
09:28And till the time we remain, we two will play
09:31do it do it
10:10This is the year two thousand twenty nine
10:13And somewhere a girl is wondering what Bhavishya will be like.
10:31Do it, do it, do it, do it, how is the situation, this is a needle of Bhaavki.
10:47do it do it
11:15do it do it
11:41dreams are maps
11:44We can't go without them.
11:46This is a new massive structure.
11:49One of his many structures
11:52Which are built in every great harbor of the earth
11:56from calcium carbonate
11:58This is the same material
12:00Through which nature created a river under the sea
12:03for life to flourish
12:05The first ancient and lost city was built
12:08for climate change
12:10primarily responsible
12:12to Caban Diocide
12:13removed from our atmosphere
12:16has been converted into a mineral
12:18which created this huge tree of life
12:21These new wonders of the world
12:23It just doesn't tell
12:24that our species has experienced climate change
12:27I have found a way to avoid
12:29but also these ambitions of ours
12:32we declare that the rest of us
12:34in harmony with the people of Prithvi
12:36I want to live in love
12:38You are welcome
12:40In the New York World War II of 2049
12:42come with me
13:24Hello, I have to go to Rahi for the par
13:27Yes, now I want it from all of this
13:29Shupia we are right
13:43Come on, we are right
13:45Why take your city for what
13:50Pew Jupia Ha Ha Want Chomsky
13:52yes, take them
13:58Those little two
14:08Here at the Public of the Searchers, great people associated with the history of science are coming forward in live form and telling stories.
14:14Are
14:15How he brought the secrets of nature before everyone
14:18There is no restriction on asking questions here; you will get answers to all your questions.
14:23No question will be considered frivolous here.
14:27You can ask anything you want to know without hesitation.
14:31And these are not robots whose brains are filled with pre-recorded messages.
14:35We have found a way to regenerate the neural networks in their brains.
14:39These include their thoughts, their memories, their associations, these are their connectomes.
14:47Imagine a world where the story of our universe is told to every child in the same way,
14:53The way we tell them our poems and stories
14:57So what do we go now? That's good, okay.
15:01Just two questions: Were you surprised when gravitational waves were discovered? Because you believe that
15:08were not
15:09Yes
15:11And now the second question, your hidden variables, which are about the solution to the paradox of quantum mechanics, now
15:17We know it doesn't exist, what does that say about the nature of reality?
15:23You come with me
15:40This is the pavilion of the fourth dimension, time
15:44Here everyone sets their coordinates in space and time to reflect on the 14 billion years of evolution of matter.
15:51can view any fruit of the history of
15:53Isn't it surprising that we started science systematically only four centuries ago?
15:59Was
15:59Yet we have been able to gather so much information about events that happened billions of years ago without ever reaching there.
16:06only
16:06Jhaal already
16:48In this cosmic calendar, all time is confined to one Earth hour.
16:53And this is for you to explore.
16:55So now which event in the history of the universe would you like to see first?
17:00Not the new Big Bang, everyone wants to see it.
17:03And you must also be over 14 years of age.
17:06But we can go back to that nanosecond before the beginning of time
17:11Or even the days when dinosaurs were alive.
17:13Or you could spend time with Mitochondrial Eve, the mother of us all
17:20Or with that woman who is the mother of all of us humans
17:23Or you can also see the Giza Permits when they were new.
17:28You can choose any of these
17:30can
18:13Life is such a wonderful artist that it has reached everywhere on earth, even on the moon.
18:20Too
18:25When we first descend upon the lifeless dust of this land, there are only a couple of colours.
18:31Were
18:31And then we started to see how this Earthly life started to change and become happier as it came into the jumppark.
18:39started
18:43Now, after millions of years, what form was life going to take in the future?
19:15Look from the paddy
19:16It is the earliest ancestor of all living organisms that exist on Earth today.
19:23We humans also
19:26Saccharomyces coronarius was very small
19:29To us it may seem like a small black spot, but its role in our story is very big.
19:35Sacor flourished 500 million years ago and can be called the ancestor of wild animals.
19:42So we have to understand how the origin of our life is connected to this.
19:47The evolutionary process has given us a lot and time has made it possible to create such complex and seemingly impossible features.
19:55makes it
19:56that can arise from seemingly simple things
20:13Life is a thread four billion years long
20:16It has witnessed at least five incidents of mass destruction.
20:21And after each one, he has emerged stronger than before.
20:25Life shows that we are not just creatures made of flesh and bones.
20:29And even when our existence is in danger, we still find a way to return.
20:35No
20:42landmines
20:44These are the last remaining signs of the terror of violence that we have spread across the world.
20:49There are more than 100 million such tunnels in the world.
20:53Every year it either kills or disables thousands of people.
20:57This includes children who are playing.
21:02List
21:03Ten crore rupees buried under the ground
21:05How much global effort will it take to find the tunnels?
21:10Seems impossible doesn't it?
21:12But botanists have buried under our feet such
21:15A unique way has been found to detect dangerous VIS photos.
21:19He has fixed Dheli Cress plant through bio engineering.
21:23Its roots detect nitrogen dioxide gas.
21:27that comes out of IEDs and these landmines
21:29If the leaves of this plant turn red, be careful.
21:33But if its leaves remain green
21:36So you can play comfortably with your friends there
21:40We can avoid those dangers through our understanding of nature.
21:43that we have created for ourselves
21:53Let's go underground to New Jersey.
21:59We are aboard Mycelium Purg
22:01which is an underground network
22:04which connects 90 percent of the world's trees and plants
22:08It connects the four ancient kingdoms of life
22:12Plants, bacteria, fungi and animals
22:19New Jersey was a state in America
22:22Where the most polluted areas used to be
22:25The mistakes we made in the early stages of progress
22:28A glaring example of his
22:30But then we shook hands with the trees and plants
22:34Poplars trichloro ethylene gianni t c is co
22:37naturally change
22:39These are carcinogenic solvents that are common byproducts of the industry.
22:43But these trees did not harm them.
22:47converted into chloride ions, i.e., simple salts
22:50Microbiologists discovered that to neutralize T.C.I.
22:54He cross-breeds two varieties of poplar trees.
22:57Can make you more powerful
22:59Planting these trees in large numbers
23:01Not only is this area being presented to humans and other creatures
23:05could be freed from danger
23:07Rather, the number of such trees could also be increased.
23:10Which converts carbon dioxide, the most abundant gas in the world, into oxygen.
23:21We have accumulated a lot of garbage in this world through wars and our lifestyles.
23:26These include not only landmines and IEDs
23:29Including the toxic elements of our fossil fuels, our consumer silos, nuclear power plants, and weapons waste.
23:37Also, the electronic toys that we have thrown away in the garbage at an alarming rate.
23:41Contains heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, beryllium, and other impurities
23:46Whenever I think about this big problem
23:50So my mind starts spinning
23:53But life also provides solutions to such problems.
23:57This is called bioremediation.
23:59You see this gate at this intersection.
24:02This is yeast
24:03Without it, there would be no bread.
24:07And no beer
24:08But in this future it has worked to clean the entire world.
24:12Through this we have rendered our most dangerous rogue ineffective.
24:17Yeast traps these toxins and prevents them from contaminating water supplies and the rest of the environment.
24:23Just think about it
24:26Nature gives us a second chance to repair the damage we have caused ourselves.
24:33But how do we avoid making the same mistake again?
24:51What have humans done to the earth to save their future?
24:56We don't have a single institution that even acknowledges this.
24:59that there are great dangers in the future
25:01The question of finding solutions to them is far away.
25:04We simply forget everything in the excitement of the next quarter's economic data and the upcoming elections.
25:11Are
25:12But science is telling us that the time scale of our life is in billions of years.
25:18But how do we reach awareness of the extremes of life and our role in its future?
25:24maintain
25:25so that its operational consequences may remain
25:27So far, science has no way of making us intelligent and farsighted.
25:33It depends on us
25:38How many people have lost to the things we are currently fighting?
25:42Who knows how many worlds lie buried beneath the power of this world
25:46This treasure may never be revealed
25:48But in this round there is such a pivalin
25:52Where even the cultures that had died out long ago have come alive again.
25:56I know of a civilization that will flourish for thousands of years
26:01They had accomplished a lot
26:03He left behind a language that no one has been able to understand till date.
26:08We still have to find out why that Sabbhita disappeared.
26:12That's one of the mysteries that reside in this Pavilion of Los Worlds.
26:34the father of history in Greece, fifth century B.C.E.
26:37Herodotus wrote about the luxurious lifestyle of the Tartigenes on the Iperin Peninsula.
26:43They got this wealth from gold and silver extracted from the earth.
26:47They had their own language, their own culture, their own dance, their own music.
26:52But still there are very few traces of them like some of the beautiful designs of the braided things.
26:58Their world was one of the empires that disappeared from the face of the earth.
27:14The same applies to those unnamed people who lived in a place called Nauk in the country known today as Nigeria.
27:21Use to live
27:21For 500 years, their engineers used amazing technology to find new ways to shape iron.
27:29extract
27:30Like the Tartessins, these people also had their own unique culture.
27:35But today, as a mark of those people, some ceramic statues are found which are absolutely unique.
27:40And this is also an inscription on this wall, all other information related to it has been lost to time.
27:46But inside this pavilion, this lost civilization seems to have come alive again.
27:52It seems as if she is dancing again, which of these civilizations is she celebrating again today?
27:57be brought to life
27:59So let's talk about the Indus Valley Civilization, which was at its peak in 2500 BCE.
28:05There were many cities there then and their population was about fifty.
28:11Come with me to their most famous city, Mohenjo Daro.
28:35That whenever Ajsi will be there, he will also be strong
29:05We don't know how the spool, known as the Great Bath, was used.
29:09But we do know that this city was built very thoughtfully, whereas the Greeks built small buildings.
29:16The nomads, disguised as tribes, moved about as traders.
29:26Listen to your voice
29:30Yes, the people of Indis Valley used modern plumbing in their homes about five thousand years ago.
29:37This facility was not available to most people until the end of the twentieth century.
29:42He mastered many forms of hydro engineering.
29:45Such as underground pipes, sewerage management, kitchen, which had tap water.
29:59He treated teeth and weighed even the smallest things on a scale.
30:04He was a remarkable sculptor who excelled in creating human figures from clay.
30:17They had a written language, they hung signs on buildings, but even today we don't understand their meaning.
30:23found
30:24They used dice to play games of chance and other similar games.
30:30spent their evenings
30:32Another interesting thing about him is that he neither depicted war nor
30:37A lot of murders have been shown
30:39There is no evidence that the cities built according to his plans were ever burned by the enemies.
30:45was reduced to ashes
30:46This seems to be the most unique thing in the history of their contemporary empires and mankind.
30:59This statue is one of the few surviving traces of his heritage.
31:05But they were just like us.
31:10Their lives were just like ours.
31:38Just beyond the Pavilion of Los Worls is another pavilion.
31:42And that is of the coming world.
31:45We've launched spaceships towards the stars
31:48These are very backward and primitive space ships.
31:51And the distances they have traveled
31:53Their speed is very slow as compared to that.
31:56But in the future, their speed will increase significantly.
31:59We discovered thousands of worlds orbiting other planets and began studying them.
32:05And that too when we are stuck somewhere near the Milky Way.
32:08We did all this work just to be the first to see the Milky Way with our telescope using Kelleyo.
32:14done within four hundred years
32:16There are billions of stars in the Milky Way, and perhaps even more worlds.
32:20Somewhere in this vast area, there may even be an Encyclopedia Galactica
32:26A context in which all worlds of all stars can exist
32:49From our guesses about thousands of exoplanets, we now have a deep understanding of nearly half a million worlds.
32:58has taken
32:58Imagine a vast galactic database, the Library of Alexandria for the entire universe.
33:05That is, a way for our small world to achieve cosmic creativity.
33:10Imagine an Encyclopedia Galactica that keeps expanding and expanding.
33:15A place where everyone is gaining knowledge about the worlds of the universe.
33:29to myself
33:31These people who say "We Who Survived" are only slightly more advanced than us.
33:38If we could talk to him, he might tell us about the difficulties he faced in his early life.
33:45How did you do it
34:01The same applies to these
34:03We are in flower in Daknes
34:35What if there was a civilization more advanced than ours?
34:38There may be advanced worlds whose engineering levels are far beyond ours.
34:43There may be civilizations that disassemble other planets in their system to form a ring.
34:49Reassemble them in your world to get more space and more resources
34:59That means their future looks bright.
35:10But the poor people of this world have only 33 percent chance of doing so.
35:17What is this
35:21Is this their attempt to solve the energy crisis present in the entire solar system?
35:27It relies on solar power, but its star is only a faint red dwarf.
35:32Which cannot provide the energy needed for their multi-planetary civilization.
35:36It's probably used up all its fuel.
35:40So they're forming a shell that surrounds their star.
35:44And he will take advantage of every bit of sunlight possible.
36:00The question is how do we enter our entry into the Cosmic Encyclopedia of Possible Worlds
36:05Perhaps even at this time someone has already written for us.
36:09And this may have happened through our television broadcasts or some private survey mission.
36:15They can find a list of Blue Worlds in our galaxy.
36:20And then maybe they'll get our Pritvi's name too.
36:23So what will they think of us?
36:33We've been looking at the stars for a long time
36:36And we keep wondering if there are other worlds like ours.
36:40In this cosmic setting, vaster and older than ordinary human understanding
36:45So far we seem to be the only ones
36:52Fifty percent is all it takes
36:57I know a way to overcome these obstacles.
37:02We should take seriously what science is telling us.
37:18This is a dream about the cosmos, and this is the story science is telling us.
37:48Our universe began approximately fourteen billion years ago.
37:53When there was a kind of explosion in matter, energy, time and space
37:59The darkness was cold
38:01and light was hot, and the combination of these two extremes gave shape to matter.
38:08And then the structure came into existence
38:13Such amazing stars were formed whose mass was hundreds of times greater than that of our Sun.
38:19Then these stars exploded
38:22And from these came oxygen and carbon for the worlds to come.
38:26And this was true with gold and silver
38:32At the time of their death, these stars disappeared into darkness.
38:38And the light was weighed down by the weight of their darkness
38:44Then new stars were born from their death.
38:49And they started dancing with each other.
39:04After that the galaxies came into existence.
39:22Galaxies make stars
39:43The world is made of stars
39:50And from some other world, a living being is created
39:56Then came a time when from the melted center of this world
40:00The heat started to come out
40:02which heated the water and the matter that rained down from the stars
40:06it came to life
40:10Then he gained the power to think.
40:17And then Pritvi carved this life
40:21in its conflicts with other organisms
40:26Then grew a huge pair with many branches
40:30And it almost ended six times.
40:34But it still grows today.
40:37And we are a small branch of it.
40:40And this branch cannot grow without this tree.
40:45Then gradually we learned to read this book of God.
40:50Know its rules
40:51Learn to nurture this tree
40:54To become a medium through which the cosmos can understand itself
40:59and return to the stars
41:46Jhali can understand this tree
