(If he did, and I overlooked it, I apologize). But, I certainly do not remember it being covered, and i was looking forward to that topic, because it was perhaps the most amazing development in physics since the last Cosmos was produced. They should have dedicated an entire episode to Higgs. Also, the 2014 producers chose cartoons for the storytelling segments instead of real life dramatic actors like those used in Cosmos (1980). The 1980 dramatic production involving Keplar and Brahe was remarkable.

Excellent explanation using Flatland and a Tesseract. A three-dimensional object moving through Flatland would be what H.P. Lovecraft described as "the crawling chaos" as chaotic shapes appear, disappear, reappear. Carl Sagan mentioned that the Flatlander was surprised but rational when an apple visited Flatland. I would say that most Flatlanders would be terrified with some going mad. Lovecraft said, "I have harnessed the shadows that stride from world to world to sow death and madness." This is a mathematical explanation that Lovecraft's fictional alien entities like Cthulhu and Azathoth were multi-dimensional entities which appear as amorphous, shifting, shadowy, and chaotic volumetric shapes which our febrile minds perceive as pseudopods or tentacles, piercing our veil of reality.

Wow! This man just blew my mind! The hypercubes shadow or tesseract is what he is holding in his hand. What he is holding IS the shadow of the 4th dimensional cube. He is only able to display the shadow it creates because there is no way of actually displaying anything in the 4th dimension. You can only imagine it. Why? Because we are trapped in a 3D world (what we see). We are incapable of projecting any 4D image. Brilliant!

A 2D flatland environment is literally a "piece of paper" in a 3D world where paper is used to create, learn, and have fun with. The next world up from us owns this 3D world. Our 3D world's mysteries could be a project in the next realm? Could the next world above us be conscious, mental, and spiritual? "I hold it entirely possible that a technology exists, which encompasses both the physical and the psychic, the material and the mental. There are stars that are millions of years older than the sun. There may be a civilization that is millions of years more advanced than man's. We have gone from Kitty Hawk to the moon in some seventy years, but it's possible that a million-year-old civilization may know something that we don't ... I hypothesize an 'M&M' technology encompassing the mental and material realms. The psychic realms, so mysterious to us today, may be an ordinary part of an advanced technology." -J.Allen Hynek Allen Hynek worked for the US Government's Project Bluebook in the 50's and 60's. His job was to interview witnesses, debunk reports, and discourage public interest in UFOs making witnesses look foolish. By the 1970s however he had admitted that the purpose of the Bluebook project was not to investigate, but to create public doubt. For 20 years Hynek conducted these interviews with witnesses right after the report was made. After conducting years of interviews he noticed the witnesses gave peculiar common details of their experiences. Things are changing with regard to public disclosure of UFO phenomena. Sightings are becoming more and more common. As Earth technology continues to advance the evidence points to the only answer that checks all the boxes.

Listening to Carl Sagan is just so soothing. Just something so paternal about his voice, almost like he is talking one to one with you and cares so deeply that you understand the material he is presenting. Such a shame he had to leave us clearly far before he should have. Thankfully we have people like michio kaku and one of sagan's own pupils, neil degrasse tyson.

I was (am) so very fortunate to have come upon Carl Sagan-fortunate in that I wasn't born until the 90s. And although I did regularly watch educational documentaries of all sorts alongside my father from the start, I wasn't old enough to effectively seek it out on my own volition until the 2000s. "Cosmos" was decades old and Carl Sagan was not here anymore, at least not in physical form. I must have come upon it on PBS but I was enamored with Carl and with astronomy immediately. I was so young that the only way I had access to Cosmos was by regularly searching for it through the menu guide of our cable provider. It could only look not more than a few weeks ahead. So most of the time my search results for Cosmos would turn up nothing more than "not avaliable." But I always looked. And though very rarely, I would at times find an airing. And would set a reminder. This was my only available access. But I never stopped searching for airings. When I sat down to watch Cosmos, one that I had found and set a reminder for weeks prior, I was always so elated that I was moments away from the episode airing, one that I had been anxiously awaiting for weeks. "Weeks" is a very long time when you're 10 years old. Eventually I'd have immediate access once streaming became more accessible. We had a desktop PC and dial up by 2000 but my parents had 0 ability and 0 motivation to learn how to use one and therefore couldn't navigate it at all, whatsoever. I had to teach myself, which I did. I was fortunate in that my parents did not indulge in the purposely exaggerated, sometimes hysterical "stranger danger" narrative pushed by mainstream media in the days where internet use and access began to skyrocket in regularity in the homes of regular Americans. I was an elementary aged young girl but I had total and complete access to the world in this relatively brand new concept. I used it safely, and effectively. And I've never stopped using it for learning. I've never stopped having such profound gratitude and appreciation for our ability to have instantaneous access to anything and everything. Carl Sagan was my first "teacher" in the sense that he's the first I ever sought out on my own. My first vessel in independent, willful knowledge as an individual human being, separate from the teachers and teachings I encountered in the traditional way at the behest of forces outside myself. Through Carl Sagan I became enlightened to the concept of independent limitless learning.

A note from a very thoughtful Student! I was thinking about the concept of a three dimensional being taking a two dimensional flat lander and lifting him out of his plane of existence. As he came fluttering down, he would be “above” all of his flat lander friends, and he would be able to see them in their entirety. However, I find that there are two things wrong with this. One, there is the assumption that the flat lander suddenly gains two dimensional vision. I believe the case for a true flatlander oblivious to existence outside the two dimensions to which he is confined to is that he can only see in one dimension, a line. Objects farther away would appear as smaller line segments. As they approached, the line segment would span a greater portion of the flatlander's field of vision. Having two dimensional vision would mean being able to see a two dimensional shape in all of its entirety. The sides, and the interior of a two dimensional object can be seen by a being with two dimensional vision, but to a two dimensional being, its one dimensional vision prevents it from directly viewing the interior or the behind of another two dimensional being. So if a flatlander was fluttering “down” back to its own plane of existence, its line segment field of vision would be rapidly changing, with objects jumping into and out of its vision. One moment it would see a line cross section of the inside of a circular two dimension rock, the next second, the direction the flatlander is looking in could change entirely, suddenly looking into a line cross section of a hexagonal berry bush. Our vision is two dimensional in nature, in that we cannot see in three dimensions. We can see two dimensional objects in their entirety (provided we zoom out enough) but we cannot see three dimensional objects in their entirety. We cannot see the inside or the behind of three dimensional objects. Objects that are far away appear as small two dimensional shapes. As they approach, they appear as larger and larger two dimensional shapes. Our sense of touch and parallax allows us to perceive things as having volume. If a three dimensional being like ourselves was suddenly whisked away from his space of existence, (for a two dimensional being, it would be his plane of existence) we would not be able to see the entire universe in its entirety. We wouldn't suddenly be granted three dimensional vision, allowing us to view inside and behind all objects at once. However, much like the two dimensional being fluttering back to its plane of existence, what we see would also be rapidly changing as we wildly changed directions whilst fluttering down to our space of existence. One moment we would be looking from a distance at Neptune, the next, we would be swallowed by an immense brightness as we briefly witnessed the interior of the Sun, the next, a darkness broken only by a swath of bright dots as we peer into interstellar space. But even this isn't totally correct, because Two, there is the assumption that there is only one plane of existence. In reality, there are an infinite number of infinitely thin stacked planes, each one with their own flatlanders. Actually, it depends on which dimension you go in, since you actually have a variety of choices. So these planes are actually stacked in multiple axial dimensions. If you have a line in the x direction, you can either decide to go in the y direction or the z direction. With the flatland 2D world, you can choose to go in a temporal direction, so that flatlands in one direction of the stack would be flatlands of the past while flatlands in the other direction of the stack would be flatlands of the future, sort of like travelling in a y axis. However, if you stayed in the same moment of time, you can also go in another direction and traverse parallel universes, sort of like travelling in a z direction. A plane in one direction could contain an existence where a flatlander decided not to go to work today while a plane in another direction could contain an existence where a flatlander did decide to go to work. Within that scenario, I actually described four dimensions: the two spatial dimensions of the flatland, one time dimensions, and one dimension would cross into parallel universes of the same period of time after the Big Bang, a probability space. This flatlander experience is different from what you and I experience in that it lacks a third spatial dimension. It could still experience time and probability leading to parallel universes. Actually, I haven't yet described what I think would happen if you traversed along a stack of flatlands along a third spatial dimension. I don't know. I guess you'd experience slightly different but at the same time very different versions of reality. Perhaps you can imagine a field of square brick pyramids. One plane would contain these pyramids, but they'd appear as squares of bricks in that cross section. Go along a third spatial dimension onto another plane and the square shrinks. The square however is still made of bricks. Go instead along a time dimension and the square might not be there, since the pyramid in the three dimensional world has been eroded away by weather, or has not yet been built. Go instead along a dimension crossing into parallel universes (universes which originated at the same Big Bang) and things could suddenly get dimmer: maybe something occurred long ago that caused less hydrogen gas to coalesce into a star, causing the “Sun” to be a red dwarf instead. No life was created to build the pyramids and you end up with a dark plane flooded in red light. No square. So going back to what a flatlander would experience, it depends on which dimension you pull the flatlander in, and to what degree. So what is the flatlander's displacement? I guess you could represent that as a crazy more than three or four dimensional vector, . All I know is that for a flatlander and a three dimensional being, if they were whisked suddenly from their usual existence, things in their vision would change very rapidly. Objects would pop into and out of existence. Things could get very bright and very dark very quickly. Both would experience a psychedelic firework array of rapidly changing colors, shapes, and bright nesses. A flatlander would traverse infinitely many planes of existence, and thus wouldn't be able to see his own plane of existence until it settled back down there. That is, assuming there was an attractive force pulling it to its plane of existence in the first place, in this case, what we call “gravity.” And for us, we would be traversing potentially infinitely many universes in a short period of “time” (what is time anymore even? Couldn't we potentially travel through crazy lengths of time, or no time at all?). Then I'd have to take back everything I said about “rapid” and “quick” since those are words denoting a large number of actions or experiences in a short period of “time.” Also, another somewhat unrelated thought. Projections of higher dimensional shapes onto lower dimensions. The Carl Sagan video showed us a projection of a hypercube onto the third dimension, as a sort of tesseract. However, the hypercube could be further projected into the second dimension. Easy examples to find are images of tesseracts shown online. However, things get weird when you attempt to project such an object into the first dimension. Suddenly, the hypercube loses so much of its depth, length, etc. At least we could visualize it to a limited degree when the hypercube was projected onto the third and second dimensions. So then begs the question. how much of higher dimensions hypercubes, like fifth and sixth dimensional hypercubes, are we actually missing out on? How much is hidden from us at a given moment in time when we view such a hypercube in a certain “orientation?” Thanks for showing us the Carl Sagan video in class. I remember you showing us that video while I was in your pre-calc research class and it had profoundly changed the way I view dimensions.

CARL SAGAN F**KED UP ! = a one dimensional being could not see anything = it would be a part of its own environment because two objects can not occupy one dimension and an eye needs three dimensions to function + a two dimensional being , if it could see, would only see itself occupying both dimensions with no room for a second object just as above. DID NO ONE TELL HIM "2 OBJECTS CAN NOT OCCUPY THE SAME SPACE AT THE SAME TIME"? DEAR SCIENCE: The universe is three dimensional = in order to make a fourth dimension you would need to fold the universe back on itself creating two parts of the same object occupying the same space at the same time. the idea of other dimensions is pure FANTASY.

This while the living room TV, with everyone else, had either football on, the news or 60 Minutes. I eagerly devoured this series. Bought the book and the record music album. I had an interest in Astronomy since the age of 12 and this series just reenforced that. I took Astronomy 150 at Ohio State (5 credits) and I got a grade of A-. Most of this course in college I self learned prior. That was the best I good do in this subject because the Calculus and the Physics series humbled me.
