This is a great video. The significance of the image taken by the Hubble ultra deep field camera is even more breathtaking when explained by someone like Neil deGrasse Tyson. But once you understand what you are looking at, and that the contents of all those thousands of galaxies is not only the same as the contents of the human body but almost found in the same proportion, no thinking person can logically conclude that we are alone in the universe. (We "carbon based life forms" as the sci-fi writers like to call us, are comprised of lots of things, but the first three, in order, are hydrogen, oxygen and carbon -- three of the first four elements on the periodic chart.)
What I don't like about the piece is the way it pokes fun at astronomers using big numbers. Well, dammit, it's not their fault that the universe is so big! Unlike doctors, who use worlds like "contusion" instead of "scrape" or "laceration" instead of "cut" and do everything possible to make their specialty seem mystical and beyond mere mortals, astronomers are quite the opposite. A really big blue star is called simply a "Blue Giant," and a really small red star is a "Red Dwarf." A giant gravitational well that appears to be a black hole sucking everything around it into it is called, yes, a Black Hole. While astronomers must use big numbers, their conscious choice of simple names to describe what's out there certainly earns them kudos as being among the top communicators in complex professions.
And one might argue for another "most important" space image of all time, which in my mind is the first color image of Earth from space, taken during the early Apollo space program. It was only AFTER we had seen what a miraculous, tiny, fragile blue sphere we live on, and how deeply alone in the black vacuum of space, that we began to develop an environmental conscience; Earth Day, a concept proposed by Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson for years without success, suddenly took hold and was an instant, world wide phenomena just a few month after that photo was published.
Yes, we are of the stars and out atoms are the atoms of the stars, and we move in the universe just as the atoms move in us and the protons and neutrons move within the atoms. We are the universe. From it we come. To it we must return.
Thanks for posting this. One of my favs.
hopefully they will be coming to get me soon (joke)
