"This video covers the library at Alexandria, and all that was lost to us from that time. Sagan discusses the library again in a later episode. The basic point was that the ancient Greeks uncovered a great deal about the universe that we needed to spend 2000 years rediscovering - or supporting through evidence. This video also covers the concept of the entire history of the universe compacted into a year - which would mean that all human history would take place within the last 10 seconds of the year." - Todangst (in a follow up post below)

Quick review: This video

Quick review:

This video covers the library at Alexandria, and all that was lost to us from that time. Sagan discusses the library again in a later episode.

The basic point was that the ancient Greeks uncovered a great deal about the universe that we needed to spend 2000 years rediscovering - or supporting through evidence.

This video also covers the concept of the entire history of the universe compacted into a year - which would mean that all human history would take place within the last 10 seconds of the year.

"Hitler burned people like Anne Frank, for that we call him evil.
"God" burns Anne Frank eternally. For that, theists call him 'good.'
