These videos are all you need to get a better understanding of the universe. Come with me on this journey into the cosmos, haha. Also, I highly recommend anything with Neil Degrasse Tyson if you are ready to take the extra leap into making things clearer.

That first one alone blew my mind, i watched the first 2 mins of the third one and now im waiting till i get offa this tbreak man. I cant even imagine how amazed ill be if im Blazed Thanks man!
the first and second ones I liked, no one (well not too many) really ever puts all the things we know together and shows it as one body of knowledge. I like to try and imagine all of the second one happening in some other part of the first. Although not really a fan of the one's that bring in the religion debate, both things have their own beauty to me and they each lose some when you try and mix them.
Yeah i agree with him ^ The first one explained it to me in a way nobody else has and i feel like i have a MUCH better understanding about the anatomy of the universe. Its just too hard to imagine the distances until you see it right there, Got any more videos?
there's too many to post but watch all of the interviews Neil Degrasse Tyson did with John Stewart. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiOwqDmacJo]YouTube - 10 Questions for Neil deGrasse Tyson[/ame] dropin knowledge bombs on yo face!

So beautiful when he says "the cosmos are also within us we're made of star stuff" [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGK84Poeynk]YouTube - Symphony of Science - 'We Are All Connected' (ft. Sagan, Feynman, deGrasse Tyson & Bill Nye)[/ame] Lyrics: [deGrasse Tyson] We are all connected; To each other, biologically To the earth, chemically To the rest of the universe atomically [Feynman] I think nature's imagination Is so much greater than man's She's never going to let us relax [Sagan] We live in an in-between universe Where things change all right But according to patterns, rules, Or as we call them, laws of nature [Nye] I'm this guy standing on a planet Really I'm just a speck Compared with a star, the planet is just another speck To think about all of this To think about the vast emptiness of space There's billions and billions of stars Billions and billions of specks [Sagan] The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it But the way those atoms are put together The cosmos is also within us We're made of star stuff We are a way for the cosmos to know itself Across the sea of space The stars are other suns We have traveled this way before And there is much to be learned I find it elevating and exhilarating To discover that we live in a universe Which permits the evolution of molecular machines As intricate and subtle as we [deGrasse Tyson] I know that the molecules in my body are traceable To phenomena in the cosmos That makes me want to grab people in the street And say, have you heard this?? (Richard Feynman on hand drums and chanting) [Feynman] There's this tremendous mess Of waves all over in space Which is the light bouncing around the room And going from one thing to the other And it's all really there But you gotta stop and think about it About the complexity to really get the pleasure And it's all really there The inconceivable nature of nature
We are nothing to the rest of the universe. There's probably millions of other planets with life like us out there but space is way too big for any of us to know about each other. Also the universe is so old, so civilizations could have come and gone. Humans have barely existed in the timeline of the universe. It's amazing how people 500 years ago thought the world was flat.
