A still more glorious dawn
Just saw my favorite YouTube video of all time, and have to share it. I’m one of those guys who has very high hopes for the human race, and believe, along with Norman Cousins and others, that our race is still in its infancy, and the future holds strange and wonderful glories undreamt of by us big babies.
A still more glorious dawn awaits, not a sunrise, but a galaxy-rise.

Many thanks to John Boswell at Colorpulse for creating that masterpiece.

This is genius! Pure Genius! oh my god!
Isn’t that amazing? To me it’s so inspiring, and then to turn Stephen Hawking’s robot voice into beautiful music to top it all off…it just blew me away, totally. Like a confirmation of all my hopes for our future. Beautiful.
Thanks for the comment, Jake.
It’s special. Don’t know what else to think of it yet.
Hey Ron, thanks for the comment. It is special, at least to me. Not sure it calls for much active thought, just looking and listening. Do you think there’s a hidden message in there?
Sagan may be contacting us here through fourdimensionalism. That is the probability that not-now is connected to now as not-here is connected to here, relatively speaking with the great astronomers since Einstein.

That’s a real interesting idea, of fourdimensionalism, in that the future and past are not here in time the same way the moon is not here in space. But just as the moon exists even though it’s not here, so the past and future also exist. Cool!
Thanks Ron, you keep me thinking!
Now and always. Infinity forward, infinity backward. All at the same time.
Thanks Andrea. Infinity is weird. Not only forward and backward, but sideways too, and in all directions, an infinity of directions actually. We are all pinpoints inside infinity.
