- Exekutor, on 10/20/2009, -1/+46I never though I'd actually like something with autotune. Kudos to the author.
- illepic, on 10/21/2009, -0/+43Just as good, just as Sagan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSgiXGELjbc
- shutaro, on 10/20/2009, -0/+39SCIENCE!
- Kempachi, on 10/21/2009, -1/+29I cried watching this. We are so little...
- valleyvideo, on 10/21/2009, -0/+27Apparently Bill Nye is the lost Beastie Boy.
- Alias1431, on 10/20/2009, -1/+25My god
It's full of stars. - iCosmos84, on 10/21/2009, -0/+18I believe Sagan and Feynman would have smiled to see the enthusiasm for astronomy on sites like digg and youtube. I am convinced that the next Sagan or Feynman will emerge from an electronic medium.
For a moment, consider the idea posited by all of these men (Sagan, Feynman, Tyson, Nye): "We are star stuff." It is perhaps one of the most humbling, exhilarating ideas ever conceived of by the human species. It is what connects you, me, everyone you've ever known or heard of; every planet and galaxy--everything. Evolution has assembled star stuff with exquisite intricacy on this little planet, tucked away in the outskirts of a galaxy of billions of suns, that floats among billions of other galaxies to an infinity that confounds the most brilliant minds. - kinologik, on 10/21/2009, -0/+16Dugg for The Powers Of 10!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUUkjWsNC9k - brandnewx, on 10/21/2009, -0/+15As Carl Sagan said, "The earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and in triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. "
- ljohnblaze, on 10/20/2009, -0/+14I Love it. Let's push things forward - look towards the stars and start feeling the human/earth/galaxy connection. I find it difficult to know people still fight with each other when we are literally shooting across the galaxy on this awesome planet. Love it!
- ReDBuLLCuRT, on 10/20/2009, -0/+12That's moronic compared to the submission.
- RandomGorilla, on 10/21/2009, -1/+12And alas, millions will be ignoring all of this while watching 'reality' shows on TV tonight. How very sad.
- Velenne, on 10/21/2009, -0/+11Thanks, Carl.
- mac888, on 10/20/2009, -1/+11Brilliant
- lunxer, on 10/21/2009, -0/+9Dugg for Neil deGrasse and of course, Carl sagan.
- bill679, on 10/21/2009, -0/+9Melodysheep has done it again. It's great way to step a way from the spinning infotainment carousel for a few minutes a day and focus on what's REALLY important and bigger than any of our momentary distractions.
- japandave, on 10/21/2009, -0/+9Wow man this totally deserves an exponential amount of diggs!
- brandnewx, on 10/21/2009, -0/+8"Makes me want to drag people in the street, and ask them 'Have you heard this?' " LOL... Check that part out if you haven't.
- kprooney, on 10/21/2009, -1/+9if you want real, modern wisdom no need to consult the bible, Quran etc.
just listen to some of todays greatest minds - sid1662, on 10/21/2009, -0/+8I cringed as I started watching this (with thoughts of pop stars whose mind-numbing crap gets altered by this type of software all the time). But as the song unfolded I was absolutely blown away by how appropriate an application this is when mated to words of such beautifully poetic logic — Bravo!
- jhydig, on 10/21/2009, -0/+7Like it, we are for sure all connected just wished we were not so divided :)
- kebinusan, on 10/21/2009, -3/+10Me too but I think that was because of autotune
- eanbowman, on 10/21/2009, -0/+7Thoughts like these are so beautiful and humbling.
It reminds me of the fact that we fairly recently aimed Hubble at apparent nothingness only to find a treasure-trove of beautiful swirling masses.
There is just so much we haven't seen yet. There is so much we don't know, and instead of fear I find that thought strangely comforting. - teddylj, on 10/21/2009, -0/+7http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSgiXGELjbc
Try this one, then - TrevorBradley, on 10/21/2009, -0/+6The first melodysleep vid was a bit better I think... at least from a musical perspective. Neil deGrasse Tyson is not a tenor!

That being said, I love me some Feynman on the drums. - Exekutor, on 10/21/2009, -0/+6"We're made of star stuff." Awesome.
- Spaztiq, on 10/21/2009, -0/+6Sagan's line: "We are a way the cosmos can know itself" just blew my mind. I had never thought about it from that angle.
- TrevorBradley, on 10/21/2009, -0/+5The laughter of many missing days came out after reading this. May you be blessed with 100 diggs!
- Corr0sive, on 10/21/2009, -0/+4I ***** love Science.
- kooch888, on 10/21/2009, -0/+4I read "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" in high school. enjoyed it and have always meant to read more of his work.
- manbeef, on 10/21/2009, -0/+4Way to make me feel small and insignificant, jerk.
Seriously though, that was ***** awesome, thank you very much for posting that. - the2989, on 10/21/2009, -0/+3I'm still better than you, though.
- SilentSpyder, on 10/21/2009, -0/+3That's the part that made me lol the hardest.
- TheKillDoctor, on 10/21/2009, -0/+3I miss him now more than ever.
- eanbowman, on 10/21/2009, -0/+3Well it's definitely possible to make either a work of art or a complete failure out of the same material.
I'd say you're a complete failure for failing to see the point, that we're all made of the same stuff. That doesn't make us the same so much as we are made of the same things. :P
That and, in the grand scheme of things we're a dot somewhere in a space so immense we'll probably never see it all.
/tryingtoarguewithanobvioustroll - joshmoney, on 10/21/2009, -0/+2It's actually a vocoder, not autotune. That maybe be why you like the sound more. With autotune, you are hearing the actual vocal wave re-tuned to a more steady frequency. With vocoders, you're actually hearing a synthesizer that has been modulated with the formant and shape of the vocal. Also since this synth is polyphonic, you are hearing chords and harmonies not possible with a single autotuned wave. just my two ; )
- Dudely, on 10/22/2009, -0/+2Me too. *tear*
- teebird, on 10/21/2009, -0/+2@Exekutor...That's one of Sagan's most unforgettable quotes and it leads to what I think is one of his deepest observations: "We are a way for the cosmos to know itself."
- ihinck, on 10/21/2009, -0/+2Amen! I love this video! I think I like A Glorious Dawn more actually.
- Remelox, on 10/21/2009, -0/+2No, this is a good use of auto-tune. Musicians should stay away from it.
- OPR8R, on 10/21/2009, -0/+2Tyson (in autotune):
I know that the molecules in my body are traceable to phenomenon in the cosmos; that makes me want grab people on the street and say, "Have you heard this!"
rAmen, brother Tyson - detcade, on 10/21/2009, -1/+3..the *****?
- Hourglasseyes, on 11/08/2009, -0/+1Great Love Song, we need to bring back the corduroy jacket that Sagan rocked so well
- obsessedglobe, on 10/21/2009, -0/+1I'm a big carl sagan fan, but I didn't think I would find him in an improvised sciency music video. Best music video about human insignificance ever!
- echelonist, on 10/22/2009, -0/+1Yea, awesome. But, hmmm, they took Sagan, deGrasse Tyson, Nye and Feynman and robotize their voices but somehow manage to leave Hawking's awesome greater-than-autotune robotic voice on the side?
lol ? - oriondr, on 11/01/2009, -0/+1The truth is far greater than any human fiction, no matter what religion

I like science :) - explodingzebras, on 10/24/2009, -0/+1for a moment i thought it was a linkin park video...
- Dudely, on 10/26/2009, -1/+2Oh, and Tyson DOES do research. They built an astrophysics lab for him in the Hayden planetarium.
- Dudely, on 10/26/2009, -1/+1Feynman's and Sagan's greatest contributions were as teachers. I think somehow you missed one of the points of the song.
