Title: Pale Blue Dot
Post by: Adamiks on September 19, 2015, 09:12:15 PM
 See "Pale Blue Dot" By Carl Sagan here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpZHUjKnDpE)

This is a version with HD pictures, because original pictures was low quality (the images are from 1990 year and some people don't watch videos if they aren't at least 720p. Ahh... That generation ;d). But because autor removed original image taked by a sond Voyager 1 i will put it here:

What do you guys think about it? Also, remember that his speech was made in 1990-1992 (i can't find exact date, but i know when sond made pictures) - in that year people on Mars was just Sci-Fi :)

Also, he made a book about it, so check it out if you want - i really need to read it someday.

I picked up a copy of this book just the other day, haven't gotten to read it yet but I will soon.

Here's a little visual feast for you with a voice over from the introduction of Pale Blue Dot:

Turn off the lights, put it in HD, put on your headphones for this one.

There is theory about 10 dimensions. Number 10 is all universes, all times, all possibilities - everything.

Now space is BIG

If you mean string theory, isn't it 11 dimensions?

Actually there is a lot of theories about these dimensions. In one version i heard about 11 but in some science-based video i heard about 10.

Anyway, it's all only theory so it don't really matter.
