Every time Carl Sagan said million, billion, trillion, and quadrillion

If Carl Sagan teach us anything about our existence in Cosmos , he taught us how minor we are in the grand scheme of thing . The universe handle in magnitudes far beyond our inclusion : billions of galaxies , trillions of stars , quadrillion of particles . So many , that one crazy fancompiled all those ‘ illions into one trippy supercut .

The video ’s premise is very simple . It ’s literally every time Sagan says million , billion , trillion , or quadrillion on his seminal 13 - part series — in ordering . At first , it ’s risible . Then , as you begin to comprehend the unbelievable scurf of numbers these big , it ’s juststaggering .

Thanks to Sagan , though , many people realise how we should n’t be frightened of our impossibly huge macrocosm . We should be intrigued . Andwe should be explore it .
