In December 2004, GLONASS gained three more satellites Cosmos 2411, Cosmos 2412 and Cosmos 2413.

And they travel out into the cosmos at the speed of light.

It extends from the subatomic scale to the farthest reaches of the cosmos.

Which is why in this vast and lonely cosmos, we are so wonderfully optimistic.

One is exploring the cosmos on the outside, and the other one is exploring our interior being.

Life happened very quickly, and that bodes well for the potential of life elsewhere in the cosmos.

The first Astrid was launched on 24 January 1995 from the cosmodrome at Plesetsk on a Cosmos launcher.

While this is something that comes from our mind, it also has its roots deeply into the cosmos.

I was pretty good at the video games. I was not very good at the other part, so I stayed alone with the cosmos.

We believe that all of this emerged from a Big Bang a hot, dense state. So how did that amorphous Big Bang turn into our complex cosmos?

And he said, Speaking for myself, I can only say that the grandeur of the cosmos serves only to confirm a belief in the certainty of a creator.

And it gives us a new way of thinking about not only what's going on on our planet, but what might be going on elsewhere in the cosmos.

But the unfinished business for 21st century science is to link together cosmos and micro world with a unified theory symbolized, as it were, gastronomically at the top of that picture.

And of course, in the Buddhist cosmos there are millions and billions of planets with human life on it, and enlightened beings can see the life on all the other planets.

In this wide ranging, thought provoking talk from TEDxAmsterdam, Kevin Kelly muses on what technology means in our lives from its impact at the personal level to its place in the cosmos.

But let's suppose some aliens had been watching our pale blue dot in the cosmos from afar, not just for 40 years, but for the entire 4.5 billion year history of our Earth.

And I first begin with a pie chart and I promise this is the only pie chart in the whole presentation but it sets up the state of our knowledge of the cosmos.

So, ultimately what's going to determine the success or failure of SETI is the longevity of technologies, and the mean distance between technologies in the cosmos distance over space and distance over time.

So, one needs a very deep appreciation of the diversity and incredible scale of life on this planet as the first step in preparing to make contact with life elsewhere in the cosmos.

I am even prepared to entertain the notion that the cosmos might be sending us signals in every planetary alignment. But what makes us so credulous as to believe that soothsayers understand the code?

At Serious Play 2008, astrophysicist George Smoot shows stunning new images from deep space surveys, and prods us to ponder how the cosmos with its giant webs of dark matter and mysterious gaping voids got built this way.

And that feeling also led me to a pilgrimage of sorts, to go literally to the ends of the earth to see telescopes, detectors, instruments that people are building, or have built, in order to probe the cosmos in greater and greater detail.

For the last few decades, the modern scientific endeavor known as astrobiology has been seeking to determine whether or not all of this life, death, and evolution has happened elsewhere in the cosmos. Humans have long asked this question, but the evidence the raw data was lacking.

And then I find this All the evidence available in the biological sciences supports the core proposition that the cosmos is especially designed whole with life and mankind as its fundamental goal and purpose, a whole in which all facets of reality have their meaning and explanation in this central fact.

Not only is there a relationship between the ethics of science and the ethics of being a citizen in democracy, but there has been, historically, a relationship between how people think about space and time, and what the cosmos is, and how people think about the society that they live in.

I have been basically spending the last few years documenting the efforts of some extremely intrepid men and women who are putting, literally at times, their lives at stake working in some very remote and very hostile places so that they may gather the faintest signals from the cosmos in order for us to understand this universe.

A concerted experimental and theoretical program has taken shape in the fields of particle physics, cosmology, astrophysics, and gravitational physics to discover a dark matter particle candidate in the next decade or so. What is at stake are paradigms that have held for the past 76 years, and that have been supported recently by spectacular measurements of the cosmos.

Moving to the other end of the scale, our ancestors never had to navigate through the cosmos at speeds close to the speed of light. If they had, our brains would be much better at understanding Einstein. I want to give the name Middle World to the medium scaled environment in which we've evolved the ability to take act nothing to do with Middle Earth.
