Often described as the “sequel” to Cosmos, the audio version of Pale Blue Dot is, at this moment, regrettably out of print. This video is “episode one” of an unauthorized attempt at producing a series of videos based on Carl Sagan’s “Pale Blue Dot” audio book combined with a soundtrack and appropriate video and still images intended to recall the feel of the classic documentary series “Ascent of Man” and “Cosmos”.

It is the most widely watched PBS series in the world.

We’re about to begin a journey through the cosmos. We’ll encounter galaxies and suns and planets, life and consciousness, coming into being, evolving and perishing. Worlds of ice and stars of diamond, atoms as massive as suns, universes smaller than atoms. But it’s also a story of our own planet, and the plants and animals that share it with us. And it’s a story about us, how we achieved our present understanding of the cosmos, how the cosmos has shaped our evolution and our culture, and what our fate may be.

Looking at these images, one cannot help but be humbled by what they mean. At a glance, they show us how tiny humanity is in comparison to the size of the universe.

But travel beyond your line of vision deep into space and the reality is altogether different. Brilliant planetary impacts and wondrous celestial fireworks are commonplace. Narrated by Robert Redford, Cosmic Collisions reveals the explosive encounters that shaped our solar system, changed the course of life on Earth, and continue to transform our galaxy and universe today. Images from space and visualizations based on cutting-edge scientific data showcase catastrophic planetary meetings, the merging of massive galaxies, and the continual explosions that occur in the center of the Sun.

Strings provide a unified framework for viewing the universe, but for a while, confusingly, there were five different versions of string theory. What physicists thought were five different theories turned out to be five different ways of looking at the same thing. String theory was unified at last. The extra dimension of space required to unify string theory suggests that we may be trapped on just one tiny slice of a higher-dimensional universe. The weakness of gravity compared to the other forces has confounded physicists for decades, but now string theorists believe that gravity may be leaking into parallel universes. The origin of the universe has always been a mysterious event in which the laws of physics appear to break down. Could it be that the big bang was caused by the collision of two parallel universes? The hunt is on for evidence that supports string theory—for example, extra dimensions or supersymmetry. Will string theory turn out to be a dead end? Most string theorists believe that such an elegant and mathematically beautiful idea couldn’t be completely wrong.

Many physicists now believe that strings—miniscule vibrating strands of energy thought to make up all matter—hold the key to uniting the world of the large and the world of the small in a single theory. In the 1960s, physicists caught a glimpse of what appeared to be strange, string-like objects hidden beneath the abstract symbols of a 200-year-old equation. Meanwhile, mainstream science was embracing particles as points, not strings, and the Standard Model was born, uniting the strong force, the weak force, and electromagnetism. By the 1970s, a few young physicists worked on taming the unruly equations of string theory and succeeded in describing how gravity works in the subatomic world, a key element missing from the Standard Model. A revised version of string theory, free of mathematical inconsistencies, seemed capable of describing all the building blocks of nature, and it launched a hot new field of physics. Despite our perception that we live in a universe with four dimensions—three spatial and one temporal—string theory demands that our universe has 11 dimensions. By the mid-1980s physicists had developed five different versions of string theory, raising the question of whether it would prove to be a theory of everything or a theory of nothing.

Although Newton discovered the law of gravity nearly 300 years ago, until Einstein came along, scientists had no idea how gravity actually worked. Einstein’s success in explaining gravity as warps and curves in the fabric of space and time set him on a quest to unify gravity with electricity and magnetism. As Einstein struggled to unite the weak force of gravity with the much stronger force of electromagnetism, physics moved on, examining the bizarre way tiny bits of matter interact with one another inside the atom. According to quantum mechanics, at the tiny scale of atoms and particles, the world is a game of chance. For decades, no one could figure out how gravity operates when you get down to the quantum world of atoms and subatomic particles. Now string theory—the idea that everything is made of tiny, vibrating strands of energy—holds out the hope of unifying the world of the very large and the world of the very small. String theorists have a problem: strings, if they exist, are so small that there’s little hope of ever seeing one, so how can the theory be tested?
