Cosmos: A Space time Odyssey
In my point of view, the episode Standing Up In The Milky Way was pretty interesting. The way Neil deGrasse described all the things science had discovered the past years of life. Scientist, astrophysicist, etc. say that science created the world and life. In my opinion I find that science did create many things in life, however, I am a child of two parents who strongly believe that God created life. In some cases I am in a neutral position into believing who actually created life and how it happened. In this episode of Standing Up In The Milky Way, it thought me a lot of how science may have created life. For Example, Neil introduced the Cosmic address (Earth, Solar System, Milky Way Galaxy, Local Group, Virgo Super cluster, Observable Universe) which dates back to the Big Bang. “Human eyes see only a sliver of the light that shines on the cosmos, but science gives us the power to see what our senses cannot.” Neil uses this quote often in this episode, explaining that the universe is what you can only see with a naked eye. For example, He states how a man name Bruno, wanted to know everything about Gods creation. Bruno read the books that the church had banned; one of them was Lucretis book. In Lucretis book, it asks to imagine standing at the edge of the universe and shooting an arrow outward, the arrow keeps going then clearly the universe extends beyond what you thought was the edge. But if the arrow doesn’t keep going and say it hits a wall, then that wall must lie beyond what you thought was the edge of the universe. Now if you stand on that wall and shot another arrow, then there are two only possible outcomes, it ethers flies forever into space or it hits another boundary were you yet hit another arrow, making the earth unbounded and the cosmos is infinite. Another example would be the Cosmic Calendar. The Cosmic calendar begins with January 1st with the birth of our universe. It
