A Cosmic View
Don't miss this mind-expanding science documentary,
Journey to the Edge of the Universe.
Journey is a powerful documentary on the nature of the cosmos,
vividly rendered and narrated.
Despite having read a fair number of science, astronomy, and cosmology books in my brief time, including one I am still reading, The Elegant Universe by astronomer Brian Greene, I was still wowed by this excellent documentary.
The film is user-friendly, but not basic. It stretches the mind. And one feels awe and admiration, and a sense of infinity.
Thanks to National Geographic for creating the film, and for ever-rewarding Netflix making it available.
And the movie was a welcome vacation from the daily news. In the midst of so much wrong, sorrow, angst, despair, and human debacle, it was a very good time to step back and take a cosmic view through a science video.
Viewing and hearing about the limitless, intellectually beautiful structure of the universe, and it's cosmic journey creating time and space as it advances into an ever expanding reality, was exhilarating and helped me keep the current bad religious and political scene in perspective.
In the Light,
Daniel Wilcox
