I have this song on loop. I'm not sure how many times I've listened to it, but it never gets old! I want to watch Cosmos but it's old and I'm sure the science has changed. I'm worried about learning things wrong (I don't really know anything about astronomy). The Universe that's on Hulu is practically an action show but I might be able to get some neat tid-bits out of it. I think in the end I'll have to resort to reading/studying from a few Astronomy books...Oh, and I'd hate to forget about Academic Earth's astronomy videos: http://academicearth.org/subjects/astronomy

I have watched the Cosmos series. Loved it, used to DVR it., I'll check the Universe on Hulu and see if that is the right one. by the way download the Hulu desktop app, best way to watch HULU!

Yeah, I downloaded the track too. I'm also addicted. I wish Carl Sagan was still alive...

Have you ever actually watched either series? I know they have Cosmos on hulu, and they have a series titled "The Universe" but I'm not sure if that's the work of Stephen Hawkings (I don't think it is). I haven't had enough time to watch either one but I'd like to and probably will eventually.

I'm addicted... I have heard it 88 times as I write this...

This is the image for the album cover that I assigned to the track in iTunes. Yes I downloaded the track... lol..

Lyrics:

[Sagan]
If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch
You must first invent the universe

Space is filled with a network of wormholes
You might emerge somewhere else in space
Some when-else in time

The sky calls to us
If we do not destroy ourselves
We will one day venture to the stars

A still more glorious dawn awaits
Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns
The rising of the milky way

The Cosmos is full beyond measure of elegant truths
Of exquisite interrelationships
Of the awesome machinery of nature

I 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

But the brain does much more than just recollect
It inter-compares, it synthesizes, it analyzes
it generates abstractions

The simplest thought like the concept of the number one
Has an elaborate logical underpinning
The brain has it's own language
For testing the structure and consistency of the world

[Hawking]
For thousands of years
People have wondered about the universe
Did it stretch out forever
Or was there a limit

From the big bang to black holes
From dark matter to a possible big crunch
Our image of the universe today
Is full of strange sounding ideas

[Sagan}
How lucky we are to live in this time
The first moment in human history
When we are in fact visiting other worlds

The surface of the earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean
Recently we've waded a little way out
And the water seems inviting
