Symphony #3

Yet another work of brilliance comes to us via the infamous YouTuber MelodySheep and the 'Symphony of Science' series of science-themed songs. Our Place in the Cosmos is another interesting song that features great quotes and clips from various talks, also in the clip are visuals taken from the films Baraka, Kooyanisqatsi, History Channel's Universe series, and IMAX Cosmic Voyage. There are several scientific heavyweights featuring on this song including: of course, Carl Sagan, Richard Dawkins, Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku, and Dr Jastrow! A description accompanying the video claims that "The themes present in this song are intended to explore our understanding of our origins within the universe, and to challenge the commonplace notion that humans have a superior or privileged position, both on our home planet and in the universe itself" Enjoy, and may this help you to discover our infinite place in the cosmos!
