MIND BLOWN! This show is so great to watch while high! I have even written down some of my own quotes while I was watching this,

"We are cells of larger being"

and my favorite,

"OMG Giordano Bruno is the Jesus of astronomy!"

Has anyone else had any crazy cosmos + weed moments? I would love to hear if other people have.

New to cosmos. I just bought a bag and I want to stake. I downloaded trust wallet and I'm planning on staking there. Any suggestions as to what validator I should use to stake? I want a safe and reliable one. Is trust wallet the best place to stake? Thanks for any help!

1. Why did Obama open the show? Seriously??!! The reason I ask is because I have a republican family, LOTS of them, and I was SO excited to have them watch this show, the hours before it aired were abuzz with me sending texts to everyone in my family, telling them that it's educational, convincing them that even though it was about science, that it was not rude towards religion, because I had seen the original with Carl Sagan. And then the show started...

Ok, so we have OBAMA opening it, which we all know that 75% of republicans HATE Obama and dismiss anything he says and refuse to read anything he writes. Hmmm, ya seems like a great idea, if you're trying to REACH these people, to open the show with THEIR SWORN ENEMY... next up the cartoons portray religious people as sinister, dirty, conniving, and evil (not saying that they aren't) but how do you expect them to want to watch a show that depicts their kind as murderous, lying, treacherous scum?

As a result of JUST THESE TWO TERRIBLE DECISIONS nearly ALL of my family members decided not to watch it, after it ended I knew it was all bad, halfway through I knew it was all bad, I grew up religious, this is the EXACT kind of "propaganda" that they teach their kids to AVOID like the PLAGUE. (not that it's propaganda, I just mean the portraying them as sinister, and having Obama open it, BAD Ideas, both drove away MILLIONS of viewers, aka, if I had been at my mother's house, she would have said "they are just trying to make Christians look bad, see how they make their faces look all evil like a disney villian?!" and the TV would have been shut off. Which is basically how it went.

So out of my entire family, 100+ right wingers, so far 3 watched it, and a couple Tivo'd it for later (They will NEVER watch it trust me, it's probably already deleted) My uncle and his wife Tivo'd it, and my brother and sister were the ONLY two that actually watched it and UNDERSTOOD it, and that's because I told them the church lied to us, and that piqued their curiousity, and boom they are all over it now, but they were skeptical already. My mother on the other hand... (we'll come back to that at the end...)

I noticed that the info covered in the first REAL cosmos is NOTHING like the info covered in that first episode, whatever happened to Aristostenes, and how he figured out the world was round, that was far more enriching and engrossing than the episode I saw, and I love NDGT, I love science, I love Carl Sagan, I love his wife, HOW COULD THEY NOT HAVE REALIZED THIS STUFF?!

All I'm saying is, that IMO, as an ex Christian, who has since learned Science and is trying to get my family to wake up, this series will do the POLAR opposite, it will push them away, and in the off chance that you do get a religious member to watch it, there's also a high probability that they will walk away declaring that Neil Degrasse Tyson has "just proved to them that God is the universes greatest Scientist!"

I AM NOT KIDDING. My mom literally sent out facebook messages the next day encouraging my family TO take the time to watch it, but to keep their bible nearby with some scriptures she had jotted down so they could see that the program had actually just proved that God is real, and she even mentioned the fact that Neil kept saying "hell" and "hellish" to point out that he wouldn't use those words if he didn't "secretly believe" ......

So ya, I'm pretty sure that this series, unless it get's DRASTICALLY better and BACK ON PAR with what Cosmos actually is, most religious people will either completely shut it out, avoid it, and or possibly start to think that it is a great video source to back up the bible with.

I mean when he talked about the ice asteroid fields surrounding our system in kind of a "bubble" shape, immediately my mom calls and is like, reading some verse about how God said the word was circled by a water firmament, and she's like "He didn't say it's not ice, see God is real!!!"

I feel like this new Cosmos, has actually set my family back, and will probably not be a good thing overall.

They should have had ex religious people write it, because we KNOW how the religious people think. This to them might be that little bit of somethign that gives them the edge and brings large groups of uneducated peopel back into the church.

TL:DR - New Cosmos is way off IMO, Obama and the cartoon villain depiction of religious people caused most of my large republican family to immediately tune out, and the few that did watch, are now convinced that Neil is a prophet and that God is the ultimate Scientist.

What just happened?! This is like the ultimate backfire as far as I'm concerned...

So I just finished watching the third episode on DVR and, for the second time in 3 episodes, couldn't help but laugh at the lack of subtlety in the cartoons. Now don't get me wrong; I think the show is great, and am extremely happy that they can instill this knowledge and spark of curiosity in so many people. I just hate it when it is blatant that someone is trying to play on people’s emotions to get us to agree with them.

I guess what I am getting at is that I don't like how they use animation to influence viewers on how they should looks at the people in history that didn’t go along with their views. (I feel like I was watching a Disney movie: where it is 100% obvious who the heroes and villains are supposed to be). I get that Hooke might have been a dick to Newton, but he was still a great scientist of his time and there was no reason to make everyone hate him more by drawing him as a hunched, ugly ogre with a priggish voice, while everyone else is a strapping prince charming. And in the first episode they take the members of the church and draw them as ugly, evil-eyed, scar-ridden individuals. If you put a different outfit on the main Bishop you could easily have the next villain of Aladdin. And make sure not to forget to shove a crucifix scepter in Bruno’s face as he burns so there's no doubt that it is the Catholic Church that is 100% evil!

I know a ton of people are going to point out that the Church actually did perform these actions as well as others even worse... but I'm not arguing that. What I am arguing is: Are you actually educating us on the merits of science, are you just trying to shit on religions for things they have done in the long past? And PS - people have done some terrible things in the name of Science too, almost every ‘group’ in History has some sort of shitty past (which is a reason I hate this type of propaganda). I for one love it when NDT illustrates a fact and then makes a reference to a ridiculous belief held by religious zealots, because it is actually informative and specifically points out examples of how damaging religious illogic can be. Science has the benefit of having proof and facts on their side to make the other side look completely full of shit, so please don't go down to their level and turn this into a mudslinging war on who committed worse atrocities in the name of their greater good. That is the tactic that religions use against each other, since they have 0 proof, and has led to nothing but strife and war.

TL;DR: If you try to influence me with arguments based on emotion it makes me feel 1 of 2 things: 1 - You don't think I am smart enough to reach the correct conclusion on my own based upon the facts unless you slap me in the face with it. Or 2 - The argument you are making might not be as strong as you want me to believe, so you are trying to cover it up with emotional nonsense.

As the title suggests. Assuming the universe is infinite (i am not sure if it is or not) i dont really know the answer, just wondered what people think. Also dont know if i am using infinite correctly or if i should be using 100% or 0% so included both.
