--> 00:01:39,682 Things around us aren't always what they seem. 4 00:01:55,699 --> 00:01:59,911 In the everyday world, we use a simple scale, ourselves... 5 00:02:00,078 --> 00:02:04,123 ...to know what's small and what's large. 6 00:02:13,634 --> 00:02:17,220 But what about the worlds that lie beyond? 7 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:23,184 What is truly large and truly small? 8 00:02:30,567 --> 00:02:34,153 To explore, to observe... 9 00:02:34,321 --> 00:02:38,699 ...to understand the wider world we call the universe: 10 00:02:38,867 --> 00:02:42,453 This is one of the great human adventures. 11 00:02:56,844 --> 00:03:02,098 As we look out at the distant horizon, we may ask ourselves... 12 00:03:02,266 --> 00:03:05,935 ...what is our true place in the universe? 13 00:03:09,064 --> 00:03:11,357 We are all travelers... 14 00:03:11,525 --> 00:03:15,152 ...on an unending voyage of discovery. 15 00:03:54,526 --> 00:03:58,487 More than 25 centuries ago, among the Greek islands... 16 00:03:58,655 --> 00:04:02,950 ...here at the vibrant crossroads of Africa, Asia and Europe... 17 00:04:03,118 --> 00:04:05,828 ...philosophers began to devise rational theories... 18 00:04:05,996 --> 00:04:07,997 ...about the world around them. 19 00:04:11,376 --> 00:04:14,503 The wondrous waves and forms of nature, they said... 20 00:04:14,671 --> 00:04:16,672 ...could be understood. 21 00:04:46,870 --> 00:04:48,996 One Greek thinker suggested that the Earth... 22 00:04:49,164 --> 00:04:52,124 ...actually moved around the sun. 23 00:04:55,087 --> 00:04:59,507 Another taught that everything, the work of man and nature... 24 00:04:59,675 --> 00:05:03,886 ...was made of particles too small to see. 25 00:05:07,933 --> 00:05:10,851 Others estimated the sizes of the Earth and the moon... 26 00:05:11,019 --> 00:05:12,895 ...and the distances between them... 27 00:05:13,063 --> 00:05:16,649 ...and reasoned that both were spheres. 28 00:05:18,902 --> 00:05:23,072 But it would be many centuries before we had the tools to extend our vision... 29 00:05:23,281 --> 00:05:27,243 ...and confirm the wisdom of these early thinkers. 30 00:05:28,245 --> 00:05:29,870 In the meantime... 31 00:05:30,038 --> 00:05:35,042 ...people around the world gazed on the stars and gave them names. 32 00:05:35,210 --> 00:05:41,340 Most assumed that the Earth was the center of an unchanging universe. 33 00:06:14,374 --> 00:06:16,125 Two thousand years passed... 34 00:06:16,293 --> 00:06:20,004 ...before a revolutionary breakthrough was made by a mathematics professor... 35 00:06:20,172 --> 00:06:24,216 ...in the ancient, maritime republic of Venice. 36 00:06:24,593 --> 00:06:28,095 In 1609, Galileo Galilei... 37 00:06:28,305 --> 00:06:32,808 ...demonstrated an instrument that would soon be called the telescope. 38 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,272 From the tallest bell towers... 39 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,983 ...he showed the device could spot approaching ships... 40 00:06:41,151 --> 00:06:45,029 ...hours before their sails were visible to the naked eye. 41 00:06:46,198 --> 00:06:49,575 Later, when he aimed his telescope at the night sky... 42 00:06:49,743 --> 00:06:53,662 ...Galileo discovered that the moon was a world with mountains... 43 00:06:53,830 --> 00:06:55,790 ...Jupiter had its own moons... 44 00:06:55,957 --> 00:07:00,211 ...and the Milky Way was a band of countless stars. 45 00:07:04,508 --> 00:07:07,426 Our own cosmic voyage begins here... 46 00:07:07,594 --> 00:07:11,847 ...in the center of Galileo's Venice, St. Mark's Square. 47 00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:21,398 Since the universe is a big place, we could easily get lost... 48 00:07:21,566 --> 00:07:26,028 ...so we'll need signposts to give us a sense of scale. 49 00:07:28,115 --> 00:07:32,201 The acrobats' ring is 1 meter wide. 50 00:07:34,454 --> 00:07:38,332 The crowd is 10 times wider, 10 meters across. 51 00:07:38,500 --> 00:07:41,460 Larger by one power of 10. 52 00:07:45,048 --> 00:07:48,592 Now, with every step, every ring... 53 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,804 ...we travel 10 times farther from Venice... 54 00:07:51,972 --> 00:07:56,308 ...and our view of the universe is 10 times wider. 55 00:07:58,562 --> 00:08:01,647 The 100-meter ring surrounds St. Mark's... 56 00:08:01,815 --> 00:08:06,777 ...and 1000 meters, 1 kilometer, the city's center. 57 00:08:07,946 --> 00:08:12,408 As our speed increases, four steps, four powers of 10... 58 00:08:12,576 --> 00:08:15,744 ...reveal all the islands of Venice, the Adriatic Sea... 59 00:08:15,912 --> 00:08:18,831 ...and the mainland of Northern Italy. 60 00:08:25,046 --> 00:08:26,755 Six steps take in Europe... 61 00:08:26,923 --> 00:08:30,843 ...from central Germany across Italy to the Balkans. 62 00:08:33,847 --> 00:08:37,308 And soon, we can see the entire planet. 63 00:08:37,475 --> 00:08:40,102 Our home in space. 64 00:08:51,072 --> 00:08:53,282 Eight steps on our outward journey... 65 00:08:53,450 --> 00:08:58,787 ...eight powers of 10, and we pass the farthest reaches of human travel: 66 00:08:58,955 --> 00:09:00,706 The moon. 67 00:09:25,941 --> 00:09:29,318 If we visualize the paths that the nine planets take... 68 00:09:29,486 --> 00:09:32,279 ...in their orbits around the sun... 69 00:09:32,906 --> 00:09:36,116 ...at 13 steps from St. Mark's Square... 70 00:09:36,284 --> 00:09:40,079 ...the entire solar system comes into view. 71 00:09:49,005 --> 00:09:53,509 And with 15 steps, 15 powers of 10... 72 00:09:53,677 --> 00:09:57,346 ...we can see that our sun is just another star. 73 00:09:57,847 --> 00:10:02,017 From here on, our voyage will be measured in light-years... 74 00:10:02,185 --> 00:10:06,105 ...the distance light travels in an entire year. 75 00:10:07,732 --> 00:10:11,986 Only now do we fly past our nearest neighbor stars... 76 00:10:12,153 --> 00:10:15,698 ...almost five light-years away. 77 00:10:16,324 --> 00:10:19,618 The same journey at the speed of today's spacecraft... 78 00:10:19,786 --> 00:10:23,831 ...would last 100,000 years. 79 00:10:30,422 --> 00:10:32,589 As we cross the perpetual night... 80 00:10:32,757 --> 00:10:36,093 ...our voyage takes us up and out of our sun's neighborhood... 81 00:10:36,261 --> 00:10:40,139 ...near the edge of a great pinwheel of stars. 82 00:11:02,037 --> 00:11:05,039 The Milky Way is actually a spiral galaxy... 83 00:11:05,206 --> 00:11:10,586 ...and our own sun is just one of a hundred billion stars in it. 84 00:11:10,962 --> 00:11:14,840 At this immense scale, 23 powers of 10... 85 00:11:15,008 --> 00:11:18,093 ...each shining light we see is not a star... 86 00:11:18,261 --> 00:11:23,349 ...but an entire galaxy composed of countless stars. 87 00:11:24,017 --> 00:11:25,517 Astronomers have discovered... 88 00:11:25,685 --> 00:11:28,854 ...that galaxies are flying away from one another. 89 00:11:29,022 --> 00:11:32,775 The universe is expanding. 90 00:11:33,693 --> 00:11:36,320 Our own galaxy, and all the others... 91 00:11:36,488 --> 00:11:39,990 ...form clusters and superclusters of stupendous size... 92 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,619 ...hundreds of millions of light-years across. 93 00:11:46,623 --> 00:11:51,168 And here, about 15 billion light-years from Venice... 94 00:11:51,336 --> 00:11:55,297 ...we approach the outer limits of the visible universe. 95 00:11:55,507 --> 00:12:01,095 What lies beyond this cosmic horizon, we cannot see... 96 00:12:01,471 --> 00:12:03,639 ...and do not know. 97 00:12:19,322 --> 00:12:23,283 While Galileo's telescope allowed us to take an outward voyage... 98 00:12:23,451 --> 00:12:26,829 ...another innovation, here in the Dutch town of Delft... 99 00:12:26,996 --> 00:12:31,166 ...would lead us on an inward journey of discovery. 100 00:12:40,885 --> 00:12:42,678 Over three centuries ago... 101 00:12:42,846 --> 00:12:46,515 ...Anton van Leeuwenhoek perfected the early microscope... 102 00:12:46,683 --> 00:12:50,686 ...and used it to study droplets from the waterways of Holland. 103 00:13:14,169 --> 00:13:17,212 As students today make their own discoveries... 104 00:13:17,380 --> 00:13:21,467 ...imagine when Van Leeuwenhoek peered through his more powerful instrument... 105 00:13:21,634 --> 00:13:26,972 ...and discovered a living kingdom in a drop of water. 106 00:13:34,189 --> 00:13:37,232 This busy world of single-cell paramecia... 107 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,068 ...is only 1 millimeter across. 108 00:13:40,236 --> 00:13:43,989 Three powers of 10 smaller than a meter. 109 00:13:47,702 --> 00:13:50,370 The microscope allows us to continue our journey... 110 00:13:50,538 --> 00:13:53,540 ...into the realm of the very small. 111 00:13:53,708 --> 00:13:56,293 As we move into the cell nucleus... 112 00:13:56,461 --> 00:13:58,921 ...each new ring now reveals a world... 113 00:13:59,088 --> 00:14:04,092 ...ten times smaller in diameter than the last. 114 00:14:06,095 --> 00:14:08,347 Deep within the nucleus... 115 00:14:08,515 --> 00:14:11,934 ...we come upon truly remarkable constructions. 116 00:14:12,101 --> 00:14:16,271 Long, spiraling molecules of DNA. 117 00:14:18,358 --> 00:14:20,400 DNA holds the chemical codes... 118 00:14:20,568 --> 00:14:23,987 ...for the reproduction of most organisms on the planet... 119 00:14:24,155 --> 00:14:29,409 ...whether they're paramecia, people or petunias. 120 00:14:35,625 --> 00:14:38,001 Voyaging on, we see that molecules... 121 00:14:38,169 --> 00:14:42,464 ...are made of even smaller parts called atoms. 122 00:14:47,303 --> 00:14:51,473 The tiny world of the carbon atom is very strange indeed. 123 00:14:51,641 --> 00:14:56,144 Its six electrons seem to swarm everywhere at once. 124 00:14:58,898 --> 00:15:01,191 Now our voyage takes us through a void... 125 00:15:01,359 --> 00:15:05,862 ...that appears as vast as the space between the stars. 126 00:15:06,030 --> 00:15:08,824 Ahead lies the atomic nucleus... 127 00:15:08,992 --> 00:15:11,201 ...so fantastically small... 128 00:15:11,369 --> 00:15:14,454 ...that if the whole atom were the size of this theater... 129 00:15:14,622 --> 00:15:18,625 ...its nucleus would be like a speck of dust. 130 00:15:19,002 --> 00:15:23,046 Yet the nucleus contains almost all of the atom's mass... 131 00:15:23,214 --> 00:15:27,968 ...packed into particles called protons and neutrons. 132 00:15:29,053 --> 00:15:35,517 And these, in turn, are made of still smaller, mysterious things called quarks. 133 00:15:37,895 --> 00:15:39,354 Exploring this... 134 00:15:39,522 --> 00:15:41,607 ...the inner frontier of the universe... 135 00:15:41,774 --> 00:15:44,318 ...physicists wonder if quarks might contain... 136 00:15:44,485 --> 00:15:47,696 ...even tinier building blocks of matter. 137 00:15:54,412 --> 00:15:59,875 Scientists are investigating this mystery in an underground tunnel near Chicago... 138 00:16:00,043 --> 00:16:03,337 ...home of the giant Fermilab particle accelerator... 139 00:16:03,921 --> 00:16:07,215 ...designed to create conditions like those that existed... 140 00:16:07,383 --> 00:16:10,594 ...just after the birth of our universe. 141 00:16:13,348 --> 00:16:15,891 Millions of protons and antiprotons... 142 00:16:16,059 --> 00:16:18,685 ...race through these pipes in opposite directions... 143 00:16:18,853 --> 00:16:24,483 ...nearly at the speed of light in a kind of subatomic demolition derby. 144 00:16:52,387 --> 00:16:57,015 Now our cosmic voyage enters another dimension... 145 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,434 ...the dimension of time... 146 00:16:59,977 --> 00:17:02,938 ...where knowledge is much less certain. 147 00:17:03,106 --> 00:17:06,358 Studying traces of quarks from these collisions... 148 00:17:06,526 --> 00:17:10,278 ...physicists try to learn what our universe was like when it began... 149 00:17:10,446 --> 00:17:14,491 ...after the explosion known as the big bang. 150 00:17:16,619 --> 00:17:19,204 One of them outlines the theory: 151 00:17:19,622 --> 00:17:21,123 Welcome to Fermilab. 152 00:17:21,457 --> 00:17:24,167 Today, astronomers see the universe expanding. 153 00:17:24,335 --> 00:17:26,795 Imagine running the expansion backwards. 154 00:17:26,963 --> 00:17:28,338 Billions of years ago... 155 00:17:28,506 --> 00:17:31,717 ...everything must've been packed together at enormous density. 156 00:17:31,884 --> 00:17:34,636 It seems incredible, but we think that the matter... 157 00:17:34,804 --> 00:17:38,640 ...making up everything we see in the universe today, everything... 158 00:17:38,808 --> 00:17:42,811 ...the buildings, trees, people, planets... 159 00:17:42,979 --> 00:17:46,022 ...stars out to the most distant galaxies... 160 00:17:46,190 --> 00:17:49,901 ...was once crammed together into a volume smaller than this. 161 00:17:51,154 --> 00:17:52,821 And then.... 162 00:18:08,463 --> 00:18:13,133 Space itself exploded, in a burst of radiant energy. 163 00:18:14,510 --> 00:18:16,887 In those first dazzling moments... 164 00:18:17,054 --> 00:18:21,892 ...the newborn universe began to expand and cool. 165 00:18:22,435 --> 00:18:25,604 Quarks combined into protons and neutrons... 166 00:18:25,772 --> 00:18:29,858 ...which later attracted electrons to form atoms... 167 00:18:30,026 --> 00:18:33,653 ...and the vast fog lifted. 168 00:18:47,293 --> 00:18:49,169 For hundreds of millions of years... 169 00:18:49,337 --> 00:18:54,049 ...the force of gravities slowly drew matter together into a gigantic web. 170 00:18:54,217 --> 00:18:57,385 The architecture of the cosmos. 171 00:19:03,059 --> 00:19:05,852 Two billion years passed. 172 00:19:06,020 --> 00:19:09,815 Clouds of gas and dust condensed like giant water drops... 173 00:19:09,982 --> 00:19:14,528 ...along the cosmic strands and formed galaxies. 174 00:19:26,207 --> 00:19:28,458 Where the great ridges of matter crossed... 175 00:19:28,626 --> 00:19:31,795 ...galaxies came together in clusters. 176 00:19:56,362 --> 00:19:59,489 Some galaxies evolved into gigantic disks... 177 00:19:59,657 --> 00:20:03,660 ...and spirals of stars, gas, and dust. 178 00:20:04,203 --> 00:20:07,455 Neighboring galaxies trapped by their mutual gravity... 179 00:20:07,623 --> 00:20:11,585 ...draw together in the fantastic collision. 180 00:20:11,752 --> 00:20:15,964 In real time, it would last a billion years. 181 00:20:53,586 --> 00:20:57,172 The force of gravities stretch long tails of gas and stars... 182 00:20:57,340 --> 00:21:00,050 ...from the huge new galaxy. 183 00:21:02,303 --> 00:21:05,305 And yet stars almost never collide... 184 00:21:05,473 --> 00:21:08,516 ...so vast are the distances between them. 185 00:21:18,319 --> 00:21:21,029 Perhaps 10 billion years pass... 186 00:21:21,197 --> 00:21:23,365 ...and we encounter our own galaxy: 187 00:21:23,532 --> 00:21:25,450 The Milky Way. 188 00:21:25,910 --> 00:21:28,995 In it, stars have formed... 189 00:21:29,163 --> 00:21:31,206 ...and some have died. 190 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,505 Stars are nuclear furnaces. 191 00:21:38,714 --> 00:21:41,424 They shine until they use up their fuel. 192 00:21:41,592 --> 00:21:45,345 Massive stars end explosively. 193 00:21:58,901 --> 00:22:02,570 These exploding stars, or supernovas... 194 00:22:02,738 --> 00:22:04,990 ...send out the elements of life: 195 00:22:05,157 --> 00:22:08,535 The oxygen we breathe, the carbon in our muscles... 196 00:22:08,703 --> 00:22:10,787 ...the iron in our blood. 197 00:22:11,789 --> 00:22:15,166 Now a cloud of cosmic gas sprinkled with these elements... 198 00:22:15,334 --> 00:22:18,253 ...comes together in the grip of gravity. 199 00:22:23,592 --> 00:22:27,637 A new star, our sun, ignites. 200 00:22:29,932 --> 00:22:32,600 Around it, planets form. 201 00:22:34,770 --> 00:22:38,773 In their infancy, over four billion years ago... 202 00:22:38,941 --> 00:22:41,443 ...our Earth and moon were bombarded constantly... 203 00:22:41,610 --> 00:22:45,405 ...by cosmic dust, asteroids... 204 00:22:45,573 --> 00:22:47,574 ...and comets. 205 00:23:42,505 --> 00:23:47,050 With violent impacts, volcanic gases, acid rain... 206 00:23:47,218 --> 00:23:50,678 ...and potent ultraviolet radiation from the sun... 207 00:23:50,846 --> 00:23:54,682 ...the young Earth was a very hostile world. 208 00:23:57,019 --> 00:24:01,356 And yet the basic ingredients of life are already here. 209 00:24:08,155 --> 00:24:09,823 Water... 210 00:24:09,990 --> 00:24:11,449 ...carbon... 211 00:24:12,034 --> 00:24:13,660 ...and energy. 212 00:24:16,789 --> 00:24:21,126 Molecules, sheltered by the sea, somehow combined... 213 00:24:21,293 --> 00:24:24,420 ...multiplied and gave rise to life. 214 00:24:24,588 --> 00:24:29,759 For millions of years, Earth's only organisms were tiny bacteria. 215 00:24:29,927 --> 00:24:33,221 Some, called blue-green bacteria... 216 00:24:33,389 --> 00:24:37,058 ...slowly released tiny bubbles of oxygen... 217 00:24:37,226 --> 00:24:41,563 ...and profoundly changed the atmosphere. 218 00:24:42,898 --> 00:24:48,069 Above the clouds, some of this oxygen formed a thin layer of ozone... 219 00:24:48,279 --> 00:24:52,073 ...blocking most of the sun's ultraviolet rays. 220 00:24:57,121 --> 00:24:59,664 In this changed environment... 221 00:24:59,832 --> 00:25:03,001 ...new organisms flourished in the Earth's waters. 222 00:25:04,295 --> 00:25:08,548 Colonies of green algae produced more oxygen. 223 00:25:16,182 --> 00:25:20,602 Then organisms evolved in an astonishing variety of forms. 224 00:25:21,937 --> 00:25:26,524 Some with shells or skeletons for protection and support. 225 00:25:36,202 --> 00:25:41,748 Others evolved complex life cycles, like this tiny crustacean. 226 00:25:42,625 --> 00:25:48,963 The shallow waters of the seas filled with a teaming diversity of life forms. 227 00:26:00,851 --> 00:26:06,606 Life's next challenge was to colonize the harsh, dry land. 228 00:26:09,109 --> 00:26:15,156 Bacteria were first, followed by algae, plants and animals. 229 00:26:39,515 --> 00:26:44,936 Vertebrates appeared on land, feeding on both plants and animals... 230 00:26:45,729 --> 00:26:50,316 ...and gave rise to larger and larger life forms. 231 00:26:53,028 --> 00:26:55,863 Some of them conquered the realm of the air... 232 00:26:56,782 --> 00:27:00,743 ...and others, the great open plains. 233 00:27:20,347 --> 00:27:24,183 Our cosmic voyage, from the big bang to the appearance of humans... 234 00:27:24,351 --> 00:27:28,146 ...took about 15 billion years. 235 00:27:29,148 --> 00:27:32,233 From the beginning, we were explorers... 236 00:27:32,401 --> 00:27:35,778 ...inventors and technicians. 237 00:27:43,954 --> 00:27:48,583 And in a few thousand years, just an instant in cosmic time... 238 00:27:48,751 --> 00:27:54,589 ...curiosity and technology would take us back toward the stars. 239 00:28:23,869 --> 00:28:26,037 Since it was launched into orbit... 240 00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:28,831 ...the Hubble Space Telescope has captured images... 241 00:28:28,999 --> 00:28:31,125 ...that reveal ever more beautiful... 242 00:28:31,293 --> 00:28:36,589 ...and mysterious regions of the universe, where stars are dying out. 243 00:28:39,968 --> 00:28:41,886 And within the Eagle Nebula... 244 00:28:42,054 --> 00:28:47,183 ...strange towers of glowing gas are giving birth to new stars. 245 00:28:48,644 --> 00:28:50,561 In the great Orion Nebula... 246 00:28:50,729 --> 00:28:55,858 ...disks of dust seem to be turning into solar systems just like our own. 247 00:28:59,822 --> 00:29:04,158 The grand adventure of cosmic exploration is accelerating rapidly... 248 00:29:04,326 --> 00:29:08,329 ...taking us into realms that once were the stuff of science fiction... 249 00:29:08,497 --> 00:29:12,333 ...like the mysterious black hole. 250 00:29:16,922 --> 00:29:21,134 Here, a red giant star is slowly being consumed... 251 00:29:21,301 --> 00:29:25,680 ...its gases swirling into the depths of a black hole. 252 00:29:29,685 --> 00:29:34,230 Some black holes may be collapsed cores of very massive stars... 253 00:29:34,398 --> 00:29:38,943 ...with gravity so powerful not even light can escape them. 254 00:29:39,111 --> 00:29:44,407 But they can be detected when they attract and swallow nearby stars. 255 00:29:53,459 --> 00:29:55,543 For the first time in our history... 256 00:29:55,711 --> 00:30:01,382 ...we now have strong evidence that there are planets orbiting other stars. 257 00:30:02,009 --> 00:30:07,138 Scientists think there could be millions of Earth-like planets in our galaxy alone. 258 00:30:10,726 --> 00:30:14,896 If so, do any of them have life? 259 00:30:18,650 --> 00:30:20,818 Some radio telescopes search for signals... 260 00:30:20,986 --> 00:30:24,906 ...that may reveal the presence of alien civilizations. 261 00:30:25,866 --> 00:30:27,950 It's a daunting task. 262 00:30:28,118 --> 00:30:31,579 But if one day we should receive a signal... 263 00:30:31,747 --> 00:30:35,249 ...it would forever change our view of ourselves... 264 00:30:35,417 --> 00:30:37,585 ...and our universe. 265 00:31:02,361 --> 00:31:06,364 Telescopes, such as the giant Keck Observatory in Hawaii... 266 00:31:06,532 --> 00:31:09,659 ...are like time machines capturing the faint light... 267 00:31:09,826 --> 00:31:13,704 ...that has traveled towards us through all of cosmic history. 268 00:31:14,122 --> 00:31:19,919 The deeper astronomers look into space, the farther back they see in time. 269 00:31:35,477 --> 00:31:38,145 The more we learn about the universe... 270 00:31:38,313 --> 00:31:41,065 ...the more new mysteries we uncover... 271 00:31:41,233 --> 00:31:47,154 ...profound questions for future generations of cosmic explorers. 272 00:31:50,033 --> 00:31:54,078 Will the universe go on expanding forever? 273 00:31:54,246 --> 00:31:57,456 Exactly how did life arise? 274 00:31:57,624 --> 00:32:01,794 Could there be other universes beyond our cosmic horizon? 275 00:32:01,962 --> 00:32:04,964 And are there others elsewhere in the universe... 276 00:32:05,132 --> 00:32:07,675 ...asking the same things? 277 00:32:07,843 --> 00:32:11,846 Even to ask such questions is ambitious. 278 00:32:12,014 --> 00:32:15,308 But look how far we've traveled since our ancestors... 279 00:32:15,475 --> 00:32:19,353 ...took the first steps in our cosmic voyage. 280 00:36:03,286 --> 00:36:05,287 [ENGLISH] 22663
