And there are many tidal waves that go over islands without people on them. 535 00:36:06,710 --> 00:36:08,400 so they are not there to punish people 536 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,847 [Journalist] Humans are amazingly anthropomorphic. 537 00:36:10,847 --> 00:36:11,969 [Fresco] Terribly so. 538 00:36:11,969 --> 00:36:13,949 [Journalist] Oh, yeah it's all about us. 539 00:36:13,949 --> 00:36:18,148 [Fresco] My brother??? used to be like that.

My specialty was the Center of the Milky Way Galaxy, 553 00:37:20,733 --> 00:37:22,576 30.000 light years away. 554 00:37:22,576 --> 00:37:27,428 And so I had my digital detectors, I got the telescope, it's dark, 555 00:37:27,428 --> 00:37:30,783 it's just me on this mountain and the universe. 556 00:37:30,783 --> 00:37:34,441 And look up, and I just think to myself: "They are photons. 557 00:37:34,441 --> 00:37:39,758 They've been traveling for to 30.000 years. 558 00:37:39,758 --> 00:37:43,627 And I'm sort of snatching them from this journey 559 00:37:43,627 --> 00:37:47,531 and planting them into my digital detector. 560 00:37:47,531 --> 00:37:49,345 And then I start feeling bad for the photon. 561 00:37:49,345 --> 00:37:53,133 Maybe it want to continue. But I got in it's way. 562 00:37:53,133 --> 00:37:59,665 But then I say: "No, those are probably happier photons than the ones slammed into the mountainside. 563 00:37:59,665 --> 00:38:06,364 That would go un-analyzed, and will not contribute to the depth of the understanding of the universe. 564 00:38:06,364 --> 00:38:09,548 But so... So there is not only the fact that I'm in the mountaintop, 565 00:38:09,548 --> 00:38:13,254 there is the knowledge and the feeling, 566 00:38:13,254 --> 00:38:18,368 that I'm reaching out to the universe with this methods and tools of science. 567 00:38:18,368 --> 00:38:24,596 We can trace the elements. They would forged in the center of stars, high massed stars, they went unstable, 568 00:38:24,596 --> 00:38:26,650 at the end of their lives they exploded, 569 00:38:26,650 --> 00:38:31,547 scattered their en-riched content across the galaxy 570 00:38:31,547 --> 00:38:34,824 sprinkled into gas cloud and then collapsed 571 00:38:34,824 --> 00:38:35,835 and form stars, and planets and life. 572 00:38:35,835 --> 00:38:41,838 And so these ideas, these cosmic perspectives 573 00:38:41,838 --> 00:38:44,901 this a pilgrimage to the Cosmos. 574 00:38:44,901 --> 00:38:47,614 The people who say this makes me feel small 575 00:38:47,614 --> 00:38:49,761 because I need see the inmensity of the Cosmos. 576 00:38:49,761 --> 00:38:53,688 I say: "no you are not thinking about of the right way" 577 00:38:53,688 --> 00:38:57,516 you know, by the way when we opened out facilities I got a letter from a psychologist 578 00:38:57,516 --> 00:38:59,557 from the University of Pensilvania, 579 00:38:59,557 --> 00:39:02,563 he's seen our show, which is a zoom-out from Earth 580 00:39:02,563 --> 00:39:05,233 and Earth just shrinks to nothingness and you go to the edge of the universe, 581 00:39:05,233 --> 00:39:08,350 and he wrote me a letter (that) says: I specialize 582 00:39:08,350 --> 00:39:10,045 in the psychological effects 583 00:39:10,045 --> 00:39:14,211 of 584 00:39:14,211 --> 00:39:22,210 how did he word it, excuse he said: "Hello Dr Tyson, I'm... you know, Jonny Joe, I'm a psychologist specializing 585 00:39:22,210 --> 00:39:26,668 effects of things that makes people feel insignificant. 586 00:39:26,668 --> 00:39:30,633 I thought "??? of a job man.

big ban, 667 00:44:53,427 --> 00:44:56,871 followed by an expanding universe is correct 668 00:44:56,871 --> 00:44:58,733 what happened before that? 669 00:44:58,733 --> 00:45:01,246 Was the universe devoid of all matter 670 00:45:01,246 --> 00:45:07,118 and then the matter suddenly somehow created, how that happened? 671 00:45:07,118 --> 00:45:10,445 many cultures, the customary answer. 672 00:45:10,445 --> 00:45:15,926 is that a God or Gods created the universe out of nothing 673 00:45:15,926 --> 00:45:19,544 but if we wish to pursue this question courageously 674 00:45:19,544 --> 00:45:22,550 we must of course ask the next question 675 00:45:22,550 --> 00:45:24,765 where did God come from? 676 00:45:24,765 --> 00:45:29,835 If we decide that this is an unanswerable question, why not save a step and 677 00:45:29,835 --> 00:45:34,178 include that the origin of the universe is an unanswerable question. 678 00:45:34,178 --> 00:45:38,225 Or if we said that God always existed 679 00:45:38,225 --> 00:45:42,827 why not save a step and conclude that the universe always existed. 680 00:45:42,827 --> 00:45:45,682 There is no need for a creation. It is always here 681 00:45:45,682 --> 00:45:47,593 These are not easy questions. 682 00:45:47,593 --> 00:45:52,423 Cosmology brings us face to face with the deepest mysteries 683 00:45:52,423 --> 00:45:55,077 with questions that once treated only 684 00:45:55,077 --> 00:46:15,484 in religion and myth. 685 00:46:15,484 --> 00:46:19,415 The bizarre behaviour of human beings that invent and then try to prove, 686 00:46:19,415 --> 00:46:24,825 it's normal when they do not have the knowledge and technology to discover. 687 00:46:24,825 --> 00:46:33,017 So human beings must be properly educated.
