Hello, Mrs. MacGruder. Hello, Miss Daniels.

just a minute, Mrs. MacGruder.

Think about those oldest living things on Earth, but in a cosmic proportion.

I'm going to become a crotchety old lady.

Eventually they would go out into space, and start colonizing and exploring the universe.

This is a very strange love affair. Why?

How does the Sun reach out across empty inert space and exert influence?

And the picture is that the whole universe and that doesn't mean just space, it means me as well, and inside you the whole universe is full of something called a Higgs field.

This is the noise that Penzias and Wilson heard the oldest sound that you're ever going to hear, the cosmic microwave background radiation left over from the Big Bang.

And then there's a part of the universe we can't see because it's so dense and so hot, light can't escape.

I'd like to convince you that the universe has a soundtrack and that soundtrack is played on space itself, because space can wobble like a drum.

I suppose rob is archaic.

Just let me look at him.

And this is a Titan class ship in the space game, EVE Online.

But you can see the edge of the Sun, and the universe gets that way, and you can see that.

So in 1543, Nicholas Copernicus published The Revolutions of Heavenly Spheres, and by taking the Earth out of the center, and putting the sun in the center of the solar system, he opened our eyes to a much larger universe, of which we are just a small part.

Here you are, ladies. Montague Square, ladies.

Secondly and you're going to hear more from me about this we have to become an outward looking, space faring nation.

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

17 artificial Earth satellites from the Cosmos series (Cosmos 2306 to Cosmos 2322)

Eight artificial Earth satellites from the Cosmos series (Cosmos 2327 to Cosmos 2334)

The nerdy side of me thought, Wow, this is amazing.

So we have this picture, which is quite a spectacular picture, and I'll come back to the beginning, where we're going to have some mysterious process that kicks the universe off at the beginning.

Your throne is established from long ago. You are from everlasting.

Your throne is established from long ago. You are from everlasting.

Thy throne is established of old thou art from everlasting.

Thy throne is established of old thou art from everlasting.

But the distances on the universe are so large and the time scales are so large that it takes a long time for this to form.

I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, before the earth existed.

I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, before the earth existed.

I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

That's wonderful, Mr. Cordova, but all this... The classics...

The first thing I want to say, and this is straight from Wonders of the Solar System, is that our exploration of the solar system and the universe has shown us that it is indescribably beautiful.

7 March three satellites (Cosmos 2307 to Cosmos 2309) and

24 July three satellites (Cosmos 2316 to Cosmos 2318).

Any universe simple enough to be understood is too simple to produce a mind able to understand it.

Some people don't care for it.

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

And then suddenly, bang! A universe appears, an entire universe.

Cosmic Strings

The sacred river, the Urubamba, or the Vilcanota, which is itself the Earthly equivalent of the Milky Way, but it's also the trajectory that Viracocha walked at the dawn of time when he brought the universe into being.
