there takes up less than a single pixel
in that image you know
appearing is a tiny blue dot and you can
see it this looks like more more than a
dot but it is in fact less than a pixel
this is where we live
on a blue dot look again at that dot
that's here that's home that's us
on it everyone you love everyone you
know everyone you've ever heard of every
human being who ever was lived out their
lives the aggregate of our joy and
suffering thousands of confident
religions ideologies and economic
doctrines every hunter and forager every
hero and coward every creator and
destroyer of civilization every King and
peasant every young couple in love every
mother and father hopeful child inventor
and Explorer
every teacher of morals every corrupt
politician every superstar every Supreme
Leader every saint and sinner in the
history of our species lived there
on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam
our planet is a lonely speck in the
great enveloping cosmic dark in our
obscurity in all this vastness there is
no hint that help will come from
elsewhere to save us from ourselves the
earth is the only world known so far to
harbor life there is nowhere else at
least in the near future to which our
species could migrate
[Music]
everything we've ever known and done is
on this tiny blue dot people also get
they get too trapped in there it's like
squabbles amongst humans and just don't
think of a big picture they take
civilization and our continued existence
for granted we shouldn't do that look at
the history of civilizations there is
and they fall and now civilization is
all it's globalized and so our
civilization I think now rises and falls
together there's no there's not
geographic isolation this is a big risk
things don't always come up that should
be that's an important lesson of history
I wonder order how many dead one plant
civilizations are out there in the
cosmos
[Music]
that never made it to the other planet
and ultimately extinguish themselves
over destroyed by external factors
probably a few it's only just possible
to try to travel to Mars just barely
as finally the universe appears to be
13.8 billion years old
earth like four and a half billion years
old
[Music]
you're another half million years or so
the Sun will expand and probably
evaporate the oceans and make life
possible on earth which means that if it
had taken consciousness temps not longer
to evolve it would never have altered
all attempts at longer I wonder
order how many dead one plant
civilization star out there in the
cosmos
I've never made it to the other planet
and ultimately extinguish themselves or
were destroyed by external factors
probably a few it's only just possible
to
tried to travel to Mars just barely
gee-whiz Simpson more wouldn't work
really
if you FG with stamps not lower be easy
that's where everyone you know and
everyone you ever heard of every human
being who ever lived lived out their
lives it's a very small stage in a great
cosmic arena
[Music]
you
