It seems to me a fundamental dishonesty 0:06:48.074,0:06:51.852 a fundamental treachery to intellectual integrity 0:06:51.852,0:06:57.104 to hold a belief because you think it's useful and not because you think it's true. 0:06:57.104,0:07:00.127 Well, I would think in those people who find 0:07:00.127,0:07:07.891 some kind of religious code, helps them to live their lives,is in a very strict set of rules 0:07:07.891,0:07:10.369 the rights and the wrongs 0:07:10.369,0:07:15.635 These rules are generally quite mistaken 0:07:15.635,0:07:18.754 Great many of them do more harm than good. 0:07:18.754,0:07:26.536 and they will probably be able to find a rational morality that they can give back. 0:07:26.536,0:07:34.272 if they drop this irrational traditional taboo morality (that) comes out of savage ages 0:07:34.272,0:07:37.308 - What's is the point for...?

You understan' me? 0:28:39.922,0:28:42.374 The Christians say, Jesus is the messenger 0:28:42.374,0:28:44.558 The Muslims say, It's Mohamed 0:28:44.558,0:28:46.771 I say who gives a fuck who the messenger is 0:28:46.771,0:28:56.139 did you get the message?

it's a marvelous work of fiction 0:29:49.890,0:29:51.388 Oh yes 0:29:51.388,0:29:56.356 Yes there is no such thing as planet "Nimbubu" or whatever they say it. 0:29:56.356,0:29:57.891 It's just fiction 0:29:57.891,0:30:01.676 and they cite sources that cite NASA sources 0:30:01.676,0:30:03.206 they don't cite NASA. 0:30:03.206,0:30:04.659 Just check their website and you'll see. 0:30:04.659,0:30:08.886 It's all related to the doom day predictions of the year 2011 0:30:08.886,0:30:12.913 Yes that's where you get in at, that's behind your question, isn' t it? 0:30:12.913,0:30:14.814 Yes 0:30:14.814,0:30:16.537 Yes 0:30:16.537,0:30:17.818 Yes 0:30:17.818,0:30:22.032 You wanna know if the world it's gonna end on the December 21st 2011? 0:30:22.032,0:30:24.585 Because the same website that tells you about planet X 0:30:24.585,0:30:30.068 This secret planet that would have a strongly elliptical orbit 0:30:30.068,0:30:32.100 that will come into our zone in 2011 0:30:32.100,0:30:33.835 and knock earth off it's axis 0:30:33.835,0:30:37.871 combined with on December 21st 2011 that center of the galaxy 0:30:37.871,0:30:41.724 the sun and the earth will come into perfect alignment 0:30:41.724,0:30:47.472 and the excess gravity will then also tip her of his axis and would be the end of the world as we know it. 0:30:47.472,0:30:49.542 This is what these webpages will tell you. 0:30:49.542,0:30:53.208 (It) turns out, if you go to december 21 0:30:53.208,0:30:55.922 and look at the star charts 0:30:55.922,0:30:59.157 it's true, the center the galaxy, the sun and the earth 0:30:59.157,0:31:01.679 will come into perfect alignment. 0:31:01.679,0:31:04.024 It will, it's true, it's true. 0:31:04.024,0:31:12.402 What the site does not tell you, is that it happens every year on December 21. 0:31:12.402,0:31:18.458 They left that out of the account. 0:31:18.458,0:31:21.021 So it's a fun work of fiction 0:31:21.021,0:31:23.735 earth will be here before January after 2012. ??? 0:31:23.735,0:31:28.522 I would add that the movie 2012, that's big marketive right now 0:31:28.522,0:31:30.389 That's gonna come out in 2012 0:31:30.389,0:31:33.063 and they want you do all the homework for the movie so they say 0:31:33.063,0:31:38.432 just google it, and if you google 2012 it's filled with thousands of webpages of doomsday 0:31:38.432,0:31:43.957 writen by people who didn't take enough science in school. 0:31:43.957,0:31:49.707 So you google it, I saw some of the previous for it 0:31:49.707,0:31:52.953 and I was worried that , you know all of us in this business 0:31:52.953,0:31:57.288 will just be inundated with having a sort of correct misconceptions. 0:31:57.288,0:31:59.771 Then I saw what they actually show in the movie. 0:31:59.771,0:32:03.621 And the movies is like: Aliens come and they take over the capital. 0:32:03.621,0:32:08.624 That's all, just another sort like the movie "Independence Day", that's fine. 0:32:08.624,0:32:14.326 It's just hollywood 0:32:14.326,0:32:19.128 Remember: it's much easier, and safer, to observe and define, 0:32:19.128,0:32:20.986 instead of believing such ideas 0:32:20.986,0:32:24.952 and trying to find arguments that support them. 0:32:24.952,0:32:29.615 In fact it's a total loss of time to analyze all these ideas, 0:32:29.615,0:32:33.196 those who support them must come with evidence. 0:32:33.196,0:32:44.900 In addition to this it is impossible to prove such a negative. 0:32:44.900,0:32:51.181 How can we prove that Santa Claus does not exist? 0:32:51.181,0:32:53.347 We follow all the houses on Christmas Eve 0:32:53.347,0:32:59.900 and if we do not notice Santa Claus then does it means that he doesn't exist? 0:32:59.900,0:33:03.928 No, it means that he didn't appear that Christmas. 0:33:03.928,0:33:08.895 We go even to the North pole to look and we don't find him. 0:33:08.895,0:33:13.571 But we still have not demonstrated that he doesn't exist. 0:33:13.571,0:33:19.834 We just proved that in that night of Christmas and in that time on north pole,he is not present. 0:33:19.834,0:33:21.315 That's all. 0:33:21.315,0:33:23.347 You can not prove that Santa Claus does not exist 0:33:23.347,0:33:29.793 but only, maybe, that he is unlikely to exist. 0:33:29.793,0:33:35.250 The same thing happens with religion, God, conspiracy theories and so on. 0:33:35.250,0:33:39.412 Remember: it is impossible to prove such a negative. 0:33:39.412,0:33:44.548 Do not forget: the universe exists, what is happening is happening. 0:33:44.548,0:33:48.667 Human beings are just trying to observe and define, 0:33:48.667,0:33:49.366 that's all. 0:33:49.366,0:33:53.266 It makes no sense to invent convenient stories. 0:33:53.266,0:33:57.469 All these ideas are accepted or promoted by the monetary system 0:33:57.469,0:34:00.416 so we can blame it for the poor educational program 0:34:00.416,0:34:07.898 and promotion of false values. 0:34:07.898,0:34:11.330 Many people have been trusted 0:34:11.330,0:34:13.718 their decision making to government. 0:34:13.718,0:34:14.916 Bingo! 0:34:14.916,0:34:16.868 and many people 0:34:16.868,0:34:21.486 have also given that decision making to the deity. They created the deity, 0:34:21.486,0:34:24.368 and they say: He will make the most appropriate decisions. 0:34:24.368,0:34:26.015 Prevent my house from burning down, 0:34:26.015,0:34:28.579 prevent my children from being killed, 0:34:28.579,0:34:31.881 and help us along, away. 0:34:31.881,0:34:35.062 But, it's going to take time for people 0:34:35.062,0:34:37.945 to take on the responsibility of managing 0:34:37.945,0:34:40.995 this wonderfull gift of nature the Earth, 0:34:40.995,0:34:44.097 water, all the wonderfull things we have (on) topsoil 0:34:44.097,0:34:45.765 and we have to take care of the Earth. 0:34:45.765,0:34:49.320 We have to assume responsibility. 0:34:49.320,0:34:51.230 We have brains. 0:34:51.230,0:34:54.178 And the brains can be programmed in many different directions. 0:34:54.178,0:34:56.450 They can go into the abstract region 0:34:56.450,0:34:59.768 which has nothing to do with improving our lives 0:34:59.768,0:35:02.201 we can invent reasons for nature 0:35:02.201,0:35:05.062 or we can say: I don't know how nature works 0:35:05.062,0:35:08.222 and hold that in advance??? and try to find out 0:35:08.222,0:35:11.116 That's a difference between science and religion. 0:35:11.116,0:35:14.352 Religions has answers. Many ??? 0:35:14.352,0:35:18.281 ..The Lord works in strange ways when they can't account for anything. 0:35:18.281,0:35:20.503 The science says: I don't know. 0:35:20.503,0:35:23.434 What are you gonna do about it? It goes into the lab and try to find out. 0:35:23.434,0:35:25.565 What's the best shape for a boat? 0:35:25.565,0:35:30.718 What's the best arrangement for sails to get the most effective movement from the wind? 0:35:30.718,0:35:34.043 It says: I don't know, so he sets up an experiment. 0:35:34.043,0:35:37.427 An experiment is: truth seeking, 0:35:37.427,0:35:39.889 potentiably truth seeking. 0:35:39.889,0:35:44.850 But in philosophy and theology you sit back on an armchair. 0:35:44.850,0:35:48.515 You say: "I guess the trees are here to give us oxygen. 0:35:48.515,0:35:53.651 The science says:"The trees are here to produce oxygen and that enable us to survive" 0:35:53.651,0:35:55.469 They are not here for that purpose. 0:35:55.469,0:36:02.092 Because there are many remote islands that have trees ,without any humans, (that) produce the oxygen. 0:36:02.092,0:36:06.710 You know? And there are many tidal waves that go over islands without people on them. 0:36:06.710,0:36:08.400 so they are not there to punish people 0:36:08.400,0:36:10.847 [Journalist] Humans are amazingly anthropomorphic. 0:36:10.847,0:36:11.969 [Fresco] Terribly so. 0:36:11.969,0:36:13.949 [Journalist] Oh, yeah it's all about us. 0:36:13.949,0:36:18.148 [Fresco] My brother??? used to be like that. He used to say: "The ant's going home to feed its young" 0:36:18.148,0:36:22.745 I say: How do know that? Maybe it's going home to eat it's young, 0:36:22.745,0:36:24.413 you know like the spiders, 0:36:24.413,0:36:27.778 the mate, then the female eats the male. 0:36:27.778,0:36:40.995 And I'm not talking about pornography, I'm talking about digesting them. 0:36:40.995,0:36:55.933 [ Alternative Solutions ] 0:36:55.933,0:36:57.731 Education about the issue of death, 0:36:57.731,0:37:02.132 the reality which tells us that we are the same with the universe. 0:37:02.132,0:37:07.351 Scientific reality could make you feel different about this process called death. 0:37:07.351,0:37:08.999 There is the telescope itself. 0:37:08.999,0:37:12.388 It's conduit to the Cosmos. 0:37:12.388,0:37:17.461 It's a physical, it's a tool, it's a conduit 0:37:17.461,0:37:17.721 My special.. was the ...of the milkyway galaxy 0:37:17.721,0:37:20.733 And I sit there and I reflect on it. My specialty was the Center of the Milky Way Galaxy, 0:37:20.733,0:37:22.576 30.000 light years away. 0:37:22.576,0:37:27.428 And so I had my digital detectors, I got the telescope, it's dark, 0:37:27.428,0:37:30.783 it's just me on this mountain and the universe. 0:37:30.783,0:37:34.441 And look up, and I just think to myself: "They are photons. 0:37:34.441,0:37:39.758 They've been traveling for to 30.000 years. 0:37:39.758,0:37:43.627 And I'm sort of snatching them from this journey 0:37:43.627,0:37:47.531 and planting them into my digital detector. 0:37:47.531,0:37:49.345 And then I start feeling bad for the photon. 0:37:49.345,0:37:53.133 Maybe it want to continue. But I got in it's way. 0:37:53.133,0:37:59.665 But then I say: "No, those are probably happier photons than the ones slammed into the mountainside. 0:37:59.665,0:38:06.364 That would go un-analyzed, and will not contribute to the depth of the understanding of the universe. 0:38:06.364,0:38:09.548 But so... So there is not only the fact that I'm in the mountaintop, 0:38:09.548,0:38:13.254 there is the knowledge and the feeling, 0:38:13.254,0:38:18.368 that I'm reaching out to the universe with this methods and tools of science. 0:38:18.368,0:38:24.596 We can trace the elements. They would forged in the center of stars, high massed stars, they went unstable, 0:38:24.596,0:38:26.650 at the end of their lives they exploded, 0:38:26.650,0:38:31.547 scattered their en-riched content across the galaxy 0:38:31.547,0:38:34.824 sprinkled into gas cloud and then collapsed 0:38:34.824,0:38:35.835 and form stars, and planets and life. 0:38:35.835,0:38:41.838 And so these ideas, these cosmic perspectives 0:38:41.838,0:38:44.901 this a pilgrimage to the Cosmos. 0:38:44.901,0:38:47.614 The people who say this makes me feel small 0:38:47.614,0:38:49.761 because I need see the inmensity of the Cosmos. 0:38:49.761,0:38:53.688 I say: "no you are not thinking about of the right way" 0:38:53.688,0:38:57.516 you know, by the way when we opened out facilities I got a letter from a psychologist 0:38:57.516,0:38:59.557 from the University of Pensilvania, 0:38:59.557,0:39:02.563 he's seen our show, which is a zoom-out from Earth 0:39:02.563,0:39:05.233 and Earth just shrinks to nothingness and you go to the edge of the universe, 0:39:05.233,0:39:08.350 and he wrote me a letter (that) says: I specialize 0:39:08.350,0:39:10.045 in the psychological effects 0:39:10.045,0:39:14.211 of 0:39:14.211,0:39:22.210 how did he word it, excuse he said: "Hello Dr Tyson, I'm... you know, Jonny Joe, I'm a psychologist specializing 0:39:22.210,0:39:26.668 effects of things that makes people feel insignificant. 0:39:26.668,0:39:30.633 I thought "??? of a job man. Is that what you do for a living?" 0:39:30.633,0:39:37.870 and he said, "needless to say your show was the greatest elicitor of feelings of smallness I have never seen. 0:39:37.870,0:39:43.382 would you allow me to conduct a survey on the people who visit your show? 0:39:43.382,0:39:47.735 And I thought to myself, "there's something wrong here cause why does he feel small?" 0:39:47.735,0:39:50.402 When I look up in the universe, I feel large. 0:39:50.402,0:39:55.640 Then I realized the problem was his ego was too large to begin with. 0:39:55.640,0:39:58.234 he came to the problem 0:39:58.234,0:40:02.151 thinking highly of who and what he was to begin with, 0:40:02.151,0:40:04.562 because then everything that happened to the show 0:40:04.562,0:40:07.278 destabilized his self image. 0:40:07.278,0:40:11.001 Whereas I know that molecules in my body are traceable 0:40:11.001,0:40:13.910 to phenomenon in the cosmos 0:40:13.910,0:40:19.649 and that, and it's fifteen pounds of gray matter that figured this out. 0:40:19.649,0:40:25.019 There is a kinship with the Cosmos that resonates deeply with New Age thinking, 0:40:25.019,0:40:28.403 but I'm not apologetic about that, it's what we find. 0:40:28.403,0:40:33.667 if whoever we find resonates with whoever, (then) go ahead take it. 0:40:33.667,0:40:38.964 but what I wanna know is... We are one of the greatest centers of Neurophysiology. 0:40:38.964,0:40:43.014 I want somebody to put electrodes on my head 0:40:43.014,0:40:47.151 and when I reflect on our kinship with the Cosmos 0:40:47.151,0:40:51.440 when I do the calculation that shows that a 50-ton meteorite 0:40:51.440,0:40:55.613 that we have at the in the center of the Raw Center of Earth and Space, it's an iron meteorite. 0:40:55.613,0:40:57.712 right to the calculations that shows, that if you take all of the iron from the hemoglobin 0:40:57.712,0:41:03.301 of the people in the tri-state area of New York City 0:41:03.301,0:41:06.533 you can recover that much iron out of their blood 0:41:06.533,0:41:09.963 and realize that the iron from that metorite and the iron from your blood has common origin 0:41:09.963,0:41:13.731 in the core of a star. 0:41:13.731,0:41:18.396 Tell me what part of my brain is lighting up, because that excites me. 0:41:18.396,0:41:24.482 That makes me wanna grasp people in the street and say: have you heard this? 0:41:24.482,0:41:31.188 There is not simply... As Carl Sagan says, we are star stuff but 0:41:31.188,0:41:34.488 there is a more poetic and I think more accurate way to say it. 0:41:34.488,0:41:38.228 it's quite literally truth that we are stardust, 0:41:38.228,0:41:42.545 in the highest exalted way one can use that phrase. 0:41:42.545,0:41:45.729 And so, I feel 0:41:45.729,0:41:50.307 and I use words, I bask in the majesty of the Cosmos. 0:41:50.307,0:41:53.078 I use words, compose sentences 0:41:53.078,0:41:57.931 that's sound like the sentences I hear out of people that have revelations of Jesus 0:41:57.931,0:42:04.384 who go to, who go on their pilgrimages 0:42:04.384,0:42:06.467 to Mecca. 0:42:06.467,0:42:08.768 There's some commonality of feeling. 0:42:08.768,0:42:14.015 I know it... well I don't know it, I want someone to do that experiment, because the day you do 0:42:14.015,0:42:17.671 if the same centers in my brains are excited 0:42:17.671,0:42:21.851 by this cosmic thoughts as they were going on in the mind of the religious person, 0:42:21.851,0:42:26.030 That's something to know, that's gonna be a really interesting finding. 0:42:26.030,0:42:30.702 Because what that tells me as an educator is 0:42:30.702,0:42:33.944 let me offer the universe to people. 0:42:33.944,0:42:35.552 And they will start taking it in 0:42:35.552,0:42:40.092 and they will start achieving those feelings that they had before 0:42:40.092,0:42:42.813 and I don't so much care whether they abandon previous feelings 0:42:42.813,0:42:45.729 I've got an offering that keeps growing 0:42:45.729,0:42:47.576 that keep becoming more majestic. 0:42:47.576,0:42:50.562 When the Humble Telescope was announced, that we are gonna cancel 0:42:50.562,0:42:51.627 oops... 0:42:51.627,0:42:56.002 When it was announced that we were gonna cancel the Humble Telescope, 0:42:56.002,0:42:57.781 the greatest outcry to not do that was not the astrophysicists, 0:42:57.781,0:43:00.414 it wasn't within NASA, it was the public. 0:43:00.414,0:43:03.667 It was all over the webpages, and in the talk shows. 0:43:03.667,0:43:06.016 The public took ownership of the Humble Telescope because, 0:43:06.016,0:43:09.400 the universe is coming into their bedroom 0:43:09.400,0:43:11.736 into their living room, onto their computer. 0:43:11.736,0:43:14.965 They were participant on the frontier of discovery. 0:43:14.965,0:43:18.292 And I far as I can tell, if you let them know 0:43:18.292,0:43:20.619 there is something that we are in the universe, 0:43:20.619,0:43:24.804 but in fact given the chemistry of it all, 0:43:24.804,0:43:27.001 and the nuclear physics of it all, 0:43:27.001,0:43:28.543 not we are in the universe, 0:43:28.543,0:43:32.434 the universe is in us. 0:43:32.434,0:43:37.982 And I don't know any deeper spiritual feeling 0:43:37.982,0:43:42.969 than what that brings upon. 0:43:42.969,0:43:48.718 I'm gonna to leave you with those things 0:43:48.718,0:43:53.682 [Jiddu Krisnamurti] You see, we have made life into a tedious thing 0:43:53.682,0:43:56.735 living. 0:43:56.735,0:43:59.710 life has become a battle 0:43:59.710,0:44:03.003 which is a not obvious fact 0:44:03.003,0:44:06.468 constant fight fight fight 0:44:06.468,0:44:13.433 and we have divorced that living from death. 0:44:13.433,0:44:19.304 We separated death as something horrible, 0:44:19.304,0:44:23.880 something to be frightened about, 0:44:23.880,0:44:28.732 and we say, and towards this living which is misery 0:44:28.732,0:44:35.280 is we accept, if we didn't accept this existence as misery 0:44:35.280,0:44:50.343 then life and death are the same movement 0:44:50.343,0:44:53.427 If the general picture of the a ??? big ban, 0:44:53.427,0:44:56.871 followed by an expanding universe is correct 0:44:56.871,0:44:58.733 what happened before that? 0:44:58.733,0:45:01.246 Was the universe devoid of all matter 0:45:01.246,0:45:07.118 and then the matter suddenly somehow created, how that happened? 0:45:07.118,0:45:10.445 many cultures, the customary answer. 0:45:10.445,0:45:15.926 is that a God or Gods created the universe out of nothing 0:45:15.926,0:45:19.544 but if we wish to pursue this question courageously 0:45:19.544,0:45:22.550 we must of course ask the next question 0:45:22.550,0:45:24.765 where did God come from? 0:45:24.765,0:45:29.835 If we decide that this is an unanswerable question, why not save a step and 0:45:29.835,0:45:34.178 include that the origin of the universe is an unanswerable question. 0:45:34.178,0:45:38.225 Or if we said that God always existed 0:45:38.225,0:45:42.827 why not save a step and conclude that the universe always existed. 0:45:42.827,0:45:45.682 There is no need for a creation. It is always here 0:45:45.682,0:45:47.593 These are not easy questions. 0:45:47.593,0:45:52.423 Cosmology brings us face to face with the deepest mysteries 0:45:52.423,0:45:55.077 with questions that once treated only 0:45:55.077,0:46:15.484 in religion and myth. 0:46:15.484,0:46:19.415 The bizarre behaviour of human beings that invent and then try to prove, 0:46:19.415,0:46:24.825 it's normal when they do not have the knowledge and technology to discover. 0:46:24.825,0:46:33.017 So human beings must be properly educated.
