Thank you, Eric, for the chance to participate in this amazing project. Thank you, fellow singers. I love it! I feel honored and humbled both as a singer and a human. Such beautiful images and music. I'm in awe.
The world needs more of this. I think this is the most calming, meditative thing I've ever found on the internet. Pale Blue Dot, people - it's all we've got. Our world, each other.

The Creation of the Universe: Allah the Exalted said: Have not those who disbelieved seen that heaven and earth were one solid mass, whereupon We divided them and made all living things of water? Don't you want to believe? (Translation of Sura 21 Verse 30) This verse explicitly mentions the common origin of the entire universe, a fact that was only discovered about forty years ago with the help of "nuclear physics". The separation mentioned in the verse seems to refer to what scientists today refer to as the "Big Bang." Also, as the verse also mentions, all living things are made up of protoplasm, which is 80 to 85 percent water. Allah the Exalted said: Thereupon Allah turned to the sky which was (then) of (formless) smoke (or mist) and said to it and to the earth: "Come here, willingly or unwillingly!" They said: "We come voluntarily". So He (Allah) completed them as seven heavens in two times, and in each heaven He assigned its task. And We adorned the lowest heaven with lights (stars) (which are also) for protection. This is the creation of the Supreme, the All-Knowing. (Translation of Sura 41 Verse 11-12) At the time the Qur'an was revealed, the word "space" was unknown and everything above the earth was called "heaven". The word "smoke" aptly describes the primordial state of the universe, which consisted of hot, gaseous matter whose gaseous particles moved like clouds of smoke. From this matter the stars, the planets and the earth were formed. Allah the Exalted said: We have created the sky (the universe) with (Our) power, and see how We are (constantly) expanding it! (Translation of Sura 51 Verse 48) It is now a generally accepted fact that we live in an expanding universe. Allah the Exalted said: Allah is the Creator of the heavens and the earth! When He decides something, He only says, "Be!" and it is. (Translation of Sura 2 Verse 117) Allah only has to "Be!" speak to trigger an explosion (big bang). Aside from that: Black holes are characterized by three properties: 1. You are invisible 2. They pass at very high speed 3. They attract everything to themselves. It's like sweeping the sky Black holes are called "giant cosmic sweepers or vacuum cleaners" in science. Allah the Exalted said: “No! I swear by alkhunas (the unseen stars), algawar (the ones leading) Alkunas (the sweeping). (Translation of sura 81 verse 15-16) Pulsars are rotating neutron stars. Allah says in the Qur'an: By heaven and by the one who throbs (or knocks)! And what makes you know what the throbbing is? (It is) the piercing bright star. (Sura 86 verse 1-3) "Tarek الطَّارِقُ" means the one who knocks. The Arabic word "Thukb ثقب" means a hole; "Thakeb ثَّاقِبُ" means the one who makes a hole. The Qur'an describes a knocking star making a hole. Pulsars are rotating neutron stars (it rotates 30x per second!). As more matter falls into a neutron star, its mass increases, and as its mass increases, its gravity increases. But gravity is warping of space-time. A neutron star distorts space-time. The more matter falls into a neutron star, the more distortion it causes. A point is reached where the distortion would have grown so much that it caused a hole in space-time. How could an illiterate (meaning Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him) who lived 1400 years ago know that pulsars bore holes in space-time? That can only have been inspired by God, the omniscient. Supernova and Iron: One of the most important consequences of supernova explosions is that heavy elements, including iron, are thrown into the interstellar medium. Allah says in the Qur'an: And We sent down the iron. In it is strong power and benefit for the people. (Sura 57 verse 25) The use of the word "sent down" is very interesting. A look at the modern astronomical books that deal with the formation of galaxies and stars will give us a better understanding of the "let down" translation. Iron alloys were already used in ancient times, but only from meteorites, which often contain the alloy iron-nickel (Fe-Ni). Since meteorites were rarely found, items made of iron were correspondingly valuable. The Sumerians called it "heavenly metal", the Egyptians "black copper from heaven". The iron is of a strange composition. The electrons and neutrons in its atom require four times the energy potential of our solar system to be brought together. In other words, our solar system does not have sufficient structure to produce iron. Where did the iron come from then, which is found in our earth? The scientists explained this phenomenon by saying that the heavy metals in the Universe are produced in the cores of giant stars. When the iron count exceeds a certain limit, the star can no longer carry the iron and eventually explodes (this explosion is described as a "nova" or "supernova"). As a result of this explosion, meteorites containing iron are formed and scattered. They fly around the universe until they are attracted by a planet's gravitational pull. The same thing happened to the earth tens of thousands of years ago when meteorites penetrated deep into the earth's surface and which are now known as ferrous metal! In summary, supernova explosions are violent deaths of massive stars. The course of these gigantic explosions and their far-reaching consequences are very interesting. They are the only source of iron and other heavy metals in our solar system. They show the mercy of God, because without them life on earth would not be possible. At the same time, they can be seen as an incredible demonstration of divine power. As the Holy Quran says at the end of the verse where iron is mentioned: Surely Allah is the Mighty, the Glorious with irresistible power. (Sura 57 verse 25)

“It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.” - Carl Sagan
Beautiful CGI , sorry, but earth is flat, there is no universe, all that satellite and space probes programs and no real video of universe? Uh? Where is real videos of the universe from space probes?
This MASTERPIECE made me cry, it's so breathtakingly beautiful, have chills down my spine with how magnificent our universe actually is-the background music showcased the images superbly! Bravo!! 👏 🙌
Been waiting months to finally hear how this would all sound and Fellow Virtual Choir members........It sounds amazing!!!!! It was an honor to be part of something on this magnitude and helping to shape one voice!
How incredibly blessed are we to even have the consciousness to begin to fathom what we are looking at here? And as ridiculously tiny as we are on this floating rock in space, we have created the technology to view even a sliver of existence in this much detail. It truly takes me breath away. The human existence might be full of pain but it is also immensely beautiful everywhere you look or imagine.
Human existence IS the most beautiful phenomenon. There is no concept of beauty without consciousness. The "vast" universe with all its wonders is only beautiful because of our existence. The vastness of it is only relative to our existence.
With our help, the universe is able to perceive themselves. The physic of the universe is out there, manifested in stars, nebulars, black holes and all these things. But at the same time its in our brain in the shape of mathematic formulars and imaginations. And our Brain is maked with the same subatomic particles. That is kind of strange.
@@lindstheteacher1611 I've been subscribed to Eric Whitacre's RUclips channel for a while and he posted direction videos of the various choir parts and how to be a part of it.
Looking back on this!! The best performance I’ve ever been apart of, and I’m a trumpet player but it felt good to sing with a choir again, even if it was virtual. Thank you Eric Whitacre for the amazing opportunity!!
No words can describe this feeling I got after watching this... but I would love to thank each and every person who has been a part in making this video possible from the creators of this video to the creators of hubble telescope. Thank you so much...
As one sits here and watches this absolutely breath-taking project, one has no other choice but to smile ruefully and with great sadness when one thinks about how incredible insignificant and ridiculously small we all truly are. Especially with our perceived slights, inconveniences and overall general lack of compassion for one another that is so prevalent in today's society. In the grand scheme of things, which this video is the absolute embodiment of, our notions of "who is right, who is wrong" and "I am better than others" really are of incalculable unimportance. Thank you, infinitely many times over, to the creators of this magnificent work. Watching this was truly a humbling experience and it really puts humanity and all of it's "issues" into sharp perspective. Well done!!!

I’m so proud to have my voice included in this magnificent composition. So meaningful to join with eight thousand voices across the globe to reflect on and celebrate our place in this unimaginably vast universe. Wish everyone shared the perspective that we are all one planet, one people.
bitesizefirst i was scrolling through the comments and came across this. I was one of those voices too. It’s Eric Whitacre’s virtual choir, and this was the 5th one. It’s such a cool thing to be part of. Visit ericwhitacre.com/the-virtual-choir for more info and to join us for Virtual Choir 6!
Thank you Eric! This is so so so beautiful! From the moment the choir started singing I got goosebumps and tears streaming down my face :) I'm very honored to be part of this virtual choir! It was my first expierience and I loved it. Lots of greetings from Belgium!
A mystical, humbling experience. why are we fighting each other down here when we are part of this incredible universe so vast we will never see it all. An absolutely outstanding film and music score. Thank you so much to the creators
@@J0791 Thanks for the gratuitous insult. I try to engage in intellectual discourse and you bash me. Yeah, the universe is really fucking big. Get over it. And get a job.
@@abelinkin9644 there is nothing intellectual about calling some one a soy boy and you lack all reason. You came to troll a video that is explicitly celebrating the massive scale of the universe, and all you've done is show how small your heart and mind are. Good luck with all your misguided hate. You should probably seek out a therapist. It must be tiring to hold onto all that hurt that made you this way.
@@J0791 Geez, I'm sorry I brought it up. I wish I had the time to sit around all day, smokin' weed, and saying "wow, the universe is bigger than shit, and quarks are teeny, teeny, tiny." What a grouch. I think the Wuhan bat bug has you a little upset.
Imagine taking every grain of sand on earth, suspending them in the air with a couple inches inbetween, somewhere in there, is one grain of sand we call, "Earth". That is for lack of better words, fucking crazy.
Right? There's "wow", and then there's "tears drop from your eyes everytime you glimpse into the vast size of the universe". There's "wow" and then there's "dreaming multiple nights in a row of the astronomically large scale of the universe". It's big. It's the biggest thing that we know of that exists.
Just listened to this for the first time while on a walk out in rural Texas at sunset. The stars came out and I definitely cried. I just laid out on my front lawn and stargazed. Probably the best way to listen to this piece.
I wish I could have been there to share that,,,, I wish Mr Whitacre would clear this creation for the planetariums and IMax theatres to use and play,,,,,,,just a thought,,,,😏😏😏🙂.
Kinda crazy just want to come back to this as I'm listening to it now, but 5 years in I'm now graduated from engineering school and I work for NASA training astronauts. The impact of music is very very real.
You know they're keeping all the GOOD stuff to themselves... You know.. I think we ought to train our 👁️ on some local objects .. lots of super interesting stuff here in our solar system...
Or actual maps created by the Gaia satellites. I'm a little bummed how seemingly (to an amateur) little thought went into our local area, we know lots about our neighborhood stars.
One of the more beautiful films I have watched in my life. Made me cry and feel so much. I don't feel small when I watch this, I feel apart of something much bigger.
A finely fashioned work of art surely necessitates an artist.The Maker of the world possesses infinite beauty and perfection.Since things exist and they are full of art, they surely have a Maker.

What about all humnity actually using their brain and realizing this didn't come about all on its own natrually? Everyday life from what? In a universe from what? Damn, think!
@@pct2025 clearly you can't give science for a natural creation so you need to be the useless person you love to be by asking a ridiculous question like all you clowns do. So in your way of foolish thinking, if a supernatural creator created the natural realm, then that supernatural creator who created the natural realm with its natural laws has then become also bound by those natural laws the supernatural creator created. So explain why a supernatural creator is also bound by the laws the supernatural creator created. Or, show how smart you are and just give your science for creation happening naturally and don't forget to give your science how the natural laws were created, too. If you want to act smart, it may be a good idea to actually show you are.
The last shot of the Earth vanishing into a pixel is perhaps the best way to explain our existence. We exist only to amuse ourselves, nobody or nothing cares if we exist or not. Our actions don't matter to the Universe. So why bother? why worry? Just enjoy this brief consciousness called life. Easier said than done though.
When I was a young child my Dad told me we live on a ball, and he bought a globe. He said this ball we are on floats, spinning, suspended in nothing. But it turns around the sun, which is also a ball, a ball of fire. Susan, he said, Space is infinite and unimaginable, and we are insignificant. I wish he was here to see this.
We aren’t insignificant, only very small! We are part of the infinite mind of the universe, in a way we are the universe, knowing itself, being and growing together :)

@@KaminariHouse the cosmos is made up of infinite amount of ‘insignificant’ things. A star is huge and amazing but without all the tiny individual atoms inside it it could not exist. The galaxies are nothing with the stars, the solar systems nothing without the planets, planets nothing without the atoms that make them up! Everything is connected and everything matters.

Other than on planet Earth, there exists no evidence of life anywhere else in the universe.

If indeed we are alone, as the evidence, or lack of it suggests, would this not indicate that humanity and life on Earth is exceedingly and utterly special, significant and important?

In watching this, I am reminded of the fact; that as much as we think we know, there is so very, very, very much we don't know. We are babes in the vastness of space & time. To be arrogant enough to think we truly know, understand or even possibly could predict the size, age or end of it's existence even further proves our ignorance. Just looking at what we think we see, how could we ever imagine that Space is finite in any degree. It is truly a world without end. Its wonderful, magical and so very beautiful. Thank you.

I cannot find the proper words to express just how deeply awestruck I feel from witnessing these images. An awakening of the heart and mind, reverence for my true self. The feeling of vast emptiness and yet perfect balance as the cosmos meld together. Everything in harmony despite the chaos of the celestial planes...

"We came from the stars and we will return to them.." No, the universe came from God and so did we. If not, give your science for how the universe came about naturally and how we did too.
I watched this film whilst falling asleep and it opened my mind to the wonders this universe has, which we often forget about or disregard as if it wasn't part of us. The universe is beautiful, with every planet, star, space, and light, everything truly puts life into perspective.

Life, the universe, the utter perfection and the impossible magnitud of all. Our minds are uncapable of fully understand or be really aware of all this. Which lead us to humbleness to realize how impossibly tiny we are. And because of this partial understanding we are unconciously destroying the biosphere. This type of videos should be show and taught in schools more than other assigments we think are needed for "making a living"...
Damn. Why am I not surprised to find that, where the intersection between the astonishing science represented by the Hubble Space Telescope and its Deep Field observations and the human wonder and artistic expression of that discovery occurs, I should find Eric Whitacre giving voice to it all? Genuinely breathtaking, Eric. _Molte grazie!_
This was so crisp I felt like I was actually in those stars for a minute. The visuals synced with chill inducing sound, just brilliant. Beautful and amazing work.

Thank you Eric Whitacre for composing this magnificent work and thank you to the rest of the team who pulled it all together. WE are so humbled to have taken part in this masterpiece.
Could you imagine how much knowledge we could gain if every country, instead of bickering among each other, worked on a scientific endeavor to be compiled in a worldwide database. So much has gone to waste...time, resources, lives. But it's only human nature, I suppose. Perhaps this is our true purpose, to set aside our differences and survive our own extinction, which only comes closer to inevitability as time passes.
While we are an insignificant grain for the scales of the universe or multiverses, each person, animal or being that lives, has lived or will live on this tiny Earth are unique beings, a miracle of life, that come from the stars. We are everything and nothing at the same time. This is the eternal paradox of life, and this amazing video pictured this with perfection.
Just amazing work. I couldn't think of a better video to explain the size of the universe. Every person in existence should be required to watch this video.
I feel like Gandalf after he defeated the Balrog. "Darkness took me, and I strayed out of thought and time. Stars wheeled overhead, and every day was as long as a life age of the earth. But it was not the end. I felt life in me again."
Perhaps you will incarnate there one day, who knows. It would be arrogant of humanity to think we know what happens after death, after seeing the immensity of the Universe. I think it's rather humbling.
Ask yourself this question. Why are you having the conscious experience as you, on this planet in this moment of time? Seems rather logical to me that you would at least be able to experience life multiple times in a Universe that is already in existence for Billions of years.
I cannot even begin to express how astounding this video is, the poverty of language will simply fail to express its due praise. My most sincere gratitude to all involved that brought this utter masterpiece to life. I stand in awe of your accomplishment.
It's beautiful, is impressive how all the things in the universe can be complex. Nothing is simple, nothing. When you see to the space, you think, this is simple! But when you study you i'll see how this is complex. For example, our tiny brain, who can't hold any computer in calculation is actualy making so much calculations only for you see the commentary. That's amazing! our brain have more than 1 million terabytes of RAM!!!!! It isn't simple. For me is impossible to not see an God who make this.
Thank you so much Eric and the production team for creating such a stunning orchestral piece and working together with NASA and all of us virtual choristers to produce an incredible visual and aural experience! I also love the website with all the STEM and STEAM material and supporting content that is available to promote interest in these fields.
I too feel the awe and wonder of the universe in these astonishing images, and in Eric Whitacre's music, and I'm humbled by it. Here are some thoughts, though. We do not say an elephant is more significant than a human because it is physically bigger, nor that a mountain is more significant than the elephant because it also is vastly larger and older. In other words, size and age have nothing to do with significance or importance. So when we are awed by the immensity of the universe, as I am, it is a matter of emotion not reason. CS Lewis put it well: "We are inveterate poets....Instead of mere quantity, we have a quality - the sublime". As he says, the mind-boggling statistics of the universe "are mere arithmetic until the shadow of humanity, the poet, the maker of myth, falls upon them". The universe is awe-inspiring only because we are here to feel it, so that it really points to us, not away from us. Part of our importance is precisely that we so ckearly react to the cosmos the way we do.
We are so infinitesimally small compared to the Universe. And yet: Each of us is unique in all the Universe. This beautiful paean to our existence and the Universe in which we live is profound, and much appreciated. Astounding artistry through visuals and music. Thank you, Eric Whitacre and to the many participating artists.
Douglas Brunelle take infinitesimally small, then take an infinitesimally small piece of that. Then do it an infinite number of times and you will still never get close to comprehending how small we are. Excellent video at trying to make us comprehend it though
@@charles-y2z6c -- and yet, as I mentioned, each of us is unique in all the vast observable Universe. That fact is humbling, as well as empowering. We (each of us) matters in the Cosmos.
@@douglasbrunelle9854 The universe is too grand by the grandest of scales. Your point that we are unique and both humbled is such a perfect perfect paradox. I believe it is evidence of a supreme God.
When I was a child, my concept of the universe was that of several galaxies. There were still books that looked at the solar system as the cosmos. Things beyond the Kuiper Belt were just too far away to matter. And then the Hubble Telescope was deployed. Suddenly the old framework we'd known was shattered and the universe became incomprehensibly huge. But there are still billions of human beings who can barely think beyond their backward little county line or the edges of their province. Myopia reigns.
My ego was smashed when I was 13 staring into the night sky. Infinity before my limited mind which was not ready to peer out the vast window of Earth. Such a clear glass it was that night. I dazed as my mind took flight. I felt I had fallen upward as if I were looking down from a mountain top. The infinity embraced me, lured me, dared me. I'll never forget that night. I miss that fright.
@@johnwirk You certainly "saw" what it's all about. I used to feel anxiety when I'd think about the enormity of it all. Stretching my mind beyond a comfort zone was not pleasant. I sometimes wonder why it is that so few people open up to the vast perspective of cosmic awareness. I wish they would -- it might temper some out-size egos.
cells have it s walls, dimensions matters. Size doesn´t matter to existence. Defend your home , your body, your food matters as well. We come out from tiny cells. May be Universe is a Beyond- Human-mind-Giant Cell, and we are just particles, like the Ocean is to the Plankton ´s scale . We are plankton swimming in an enormous ocean, and Universe is an Enormous Ocean trapped in a gigantic massive gravity field perhaps from another´s dimension planet.
@@MUNDOATLANTE The imagination attempts to grasp the reality of all existence and it still eludes our understanding. Today the James Webb telescope is scheduled to be launched (I need to check on that). 100 times more powerful than Hubble. We're continuously seeking answers. But I sometimes wonder if we even know how to frame the questions, because we are still bound by the limitations of our mental constructs. Maybe it requires us to adopt a more abstract framework beyond x-y-z.
@@2fast2block I think we got the Universe the way it is now because everything that is possible is also represented. We are an infinitely repeating node in the Universal fractal. A never ending sea of the manifestation of all realities. To ask how is a human perspective. It either just is, and if it wasn't "just is" then there'd be no one to ask the questions.
@@MagnaMagnanimous "I think we got the Universe the way it is now because everything that is possible is also represented." BASIC science shows that a natural creation is not possible. Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it. We KNOW this. We have NO doubts of those laws. They are bulletproof. So well-established that anyone that doubts them are fools. "We are an infinitely repeating node in the Universal fractal." As you have no evidence for a natural creation you have no evidence for it infinitely repeating. It may make a great science fiction movie or story but has nothing to do with science. "A never ending sea of the manifestation of all realities." Sorry to burst your bubble but from your comments you should not be acting as if you care about reality. " It either just is, and if it wasn't "just is" then there'd be no one to ask the questions." God created the universe. It wasn't "just is" because that is impossible by science.
@@2fast2block I genuinely don't know what you mean by basic science and real science. Science is a method of trying to empirically reject a null hypothesis, little comes to be truly "known" in science. If your faith has shown you the truth on the origin of the Universe then I respect that. You have used the word God as a human does, as a word. Can one differentiate from the Universe and God? What does God mean to you? I struggle to see why you have condemned me for giving my take on the Universe's origins. I do not profess to be an authority or "know" anything. Just a considered position.
@@MagnaMagnanimous " I genuinely don't know what you mean by basic science" The laws I stated you can read in about a minute to understand the implications of them. Very BASIC. Real science is where there is NO doubts about it. "If your faith has shown you the truth on the origin of the Universe then I respect that." First off, fools mouth off about biblical faith as if it's a blind faith. Biblically, faith means trust. It's a trust by evidence seen. God asks that we prove things. To reason. To get knowledge. To study. God has nothing to hide. We develop trust from what is seen, and that which is not seen yet is trusted also because of the trust built up from what is seen. It's much like a human relationship. We don't trust much until a person has gained that trust from what is observed. The difference is though, God is not limited to human powers. He created us. Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. It's YOU, YOU, YOU who has blind faith in the stupid things you crap out of your dumb ass, " I think we got the Universe the way it is now because everything that is possible is also represented. We are an infinitely repeating node in the Universal fractal. A never ending sea of the manifestation of all realities." When asked for proof, you fart out word fillers AGAIN. "I struggle to see why you have condemned me for giving my take on the Universe's origins." Gee, maybe it's because you gave no science for it and ALL the science proves your fairytale is NOT true. You are so stupid, you still "struggle" why. " I do not profess to be an authority or "know" anything. Just a considered position." You don't want to know anything. Look you handled creation alone. You don't give a damn about science. You love being lazy and acting as if your brain serves some purpose to the truth. You're a disgusting dumbass.
It makes me feel infinitesimally small while also making me realize how incredibly important each and every one of us is. Why are we here? Are we alone? What will become of us? These questions first posed by the ancients are far far from ever being answered. The quest will continue until we are no more.

The Creation of the Universe:
Allah the Exalted said: Have not those who disbelieved seen that heaven and earth were one solid mass, whereupon We divided them and made all living things of water? Don't you want to believe? (Translation of Sura 21 Verse 30)
This verse explicitly mentions the common origin of the entire universe, a fact that was only discovered about forty years ago with the help of "nuclear physics". The separation mentioned in the verse seems to refer to what scientists today refer to as the "Big Bang." Also, as the verse also mentions, all living things are made up of protoplasm, which is 80 to 85 percent water.
Allah the Exalted said: Thereupon Allah turned to the sky which was (then) of (formless) smoke (or mist) and said to it and to the earth: "Come here, willingly or unwillingly!" They said: "We come voluntarily". So He (Allah) completed them as seven heavens in two times, and in each heaven He assigned its task. And We adorned the lowest heaven with lights (stars) (which are also) for protection. This is the creation of the Supreme, the All-Knowing. (Translation of Sura 41 Verse 11-12)
At the time the Qur'an was revealed, the word "space" was unknown and everything above the earth was called "heaven".
The word "smoke" aptly describes the primordial state of the universe, which consisted of hot, gaseous matter whose gaseous particles moved like clouds of smoke. From this matter the stars, the planets and the earth were formed.
Allah the Exalted said: We have created the sky (the universe) with (Our) power, and see how We are (constantly) expanding it! (Translation of Sura 51 Verse 48)
It is now a generally accepted fact that we live in an expanding universe.
Allah the Exalted said: Allah is the Creator of the heavens and the earth! When He decides something, He only says, "Be!" and it is. (Translation of Sura 2 Verse 117)
Allah only has to "Be!" speak to trigger an explosion (big bang).
Aside from that:
Black holes are characterized by three properties:
1. You are invisible
2. They pass at very high speed
3. They attract everything to themselves. It's like sweeping the sky
Black holes are called "giant cosmic sweepers or vacuum cleaners" in science.
Allah the Exalted said: “No! I swear by alkhunas (the unseen stars), algawar (the ones leading) Alkunas (the sweeping). (Translation of sura 81 verse 15-16)
Pulsars are rotating neutron stars.
Allah says in the Qur'an: By heaven and by the one who throbs (or knocks)! And what makes you know what the throbbing is? (It is) the piercing bright star. (Sura 86 verse 1-3)
"Tarek الطَّارِقُ" means the one who knocks. The Arabic word "Thukb ثقب" means a hole; "Thakeb ثَّاقِبُ" means the one who makes a hole. The Qur'an describes a knocking star making a hole.
Pulsars are rotating neutron stars (it rotates 30x per second!). As more matter falls into a neutron star, its mass increases, and as its mass increases, its gravity increases. But gravity is warping of space-time. A neutron star distorts space-time. The more matter falls into a neutron star, the more distortion it causes. A point is reached where the distortion would have grown so much that it caused a hole in space-time.
How could an illiterate (meaning Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him) who lived 1400 years ago know that pulsars bore holes in space-time? That can only have been inspired by God, the omniscient.
Supernova and Iron:
One of the most important consequences of supernova explosions is that heavy elements, including iron, are thrown into the interstellar medium.
Allah says in the Qur'an: And We sent down the iron. In it is strong power and benefit for the people. (Sura 57 verse 25)
The use of the word "sent down" is very interesting. A look at the modern astronomical books that deal with the formation of galaxies and stars will give us a better understanding of the "let down" translation.
Iron alloys were already used in ancient times, but only from meteorites, which often contain the alloy iron-nickel (Fe-Ni). Since meteorites were rarely found, items made of iron were correspondingly valuable. The Sumerians called it "heavenly metal", the Egyptians "black copper from heaven".
The iron is of a strange composition. The electrons and neutrons in its atom require four times the energy potential of our solar system to be brought together. In other words, our solar system does not have sufficient structure to produce iron. Where did the iron come from then, which is found in our earth?
The scientists explained this phenomenon by saying that the heavy metals in the Universe are produced in the cores of giant stars. When the iron count exceeds a certain limit, the star can no longer carry the iron and eventually explodes (this explosion is described as a "nova" or "supernova"). As a result of this explosion, meteorites containing iron are formed and scattered. They fly around the universe until they are attracted by a planet's gravitational pull. The same thing happened to the earth tens of thousands of years ago when meteorites penetrated deep into the earth's surface and which are now known as ferrous metal!
In summary, supernova explosions are violent deaths of massive stars. The course of these gigantic explosions and their far-reaching consequences are very interesting. They are the only source of iron and other heavy metals in our solar system. They show the mercy of God, because without them life on earth would not be possible. At the same time, they can be seen as an incredible demonstration of divine power. As the Holy Quran says at the end of the verse where iron is mentioned:
Surely Allah is the Mighty, the Glorious with irresistible power. (Sura 57 verse 25)

How incredibly blessed are we to even have the consciousness to begin to fathom what we are looking at here? And as ridiculously tiny as we are on this floating rock in space, we have created the technology to view even a sliver of existence in this much detail.
It truly takes me breath away. The human existence might be full of pain but it is also immensely beautiful everywhere you look or imagine.
Well said 👏
Nice one
Beautifully articulated
Human existence IS the most beautiful phenomenon. There is no concept of beauty without consciousness. The "vast" universe with all its wonders is only beautiful because of our existence. The vastness of it is only relative to our existence.
With our help, the universe is able to perceive themselves. The physic of the universe is out there, manifested in stars, nebulars, black holes and all these things. But at the same time its in our brain in the shape of mathematic formulars and imaginations. And our Brain is maked with the same subatomic particles. That is kind of strange.

As one sits here and watches this absolutely breath-taking project, one has no other choice but to smile ruefully and with great sadness when one thinks about how incredible insignificant and ridiculously small we all truly are. Especially with our perceived slights, inconveniences and overall general lack of compassion for one another that is so prevalent in today's society. In the grand scheme of things, which this video is the absolute embodiment of, our notions of "who is right, who is wrong" and "I am better than others" really are of incalculable unimportance.
Thank you, infinitely many times over, to the creators of this magnificent work. Watching this was truly a humbling experience and it really puts humanity and all of it's "issues" into sharp perspective. Well done!!!

That’s because you are.
Made me cry too, even watching it the second time.
Thanks for letting me participate in such a wonderful project. This is epic!
You have no idea... I have worked on the Hubble for over 20 years... Hearing those beautiful voices of earth. My eyes are filled with tears of joy.
The way the music builds up as the voyage moves towards bigger and bigger scales is truly magnificent, there's no other word to describe it.
Watched previous choirs, but being a part of this (and actually seeing myself on screen) was huge.
What an amazing opportunity. ❤
Perhaps the first series of images that have genuinely helped me to begin to understand, in the simplest of ways, the true enormity of the known universe. I am at the same time humbled and filled with exultation to be a sentient part of it all.
This is absolutely breathtaking. It was an honour getting to be a part of the virtual choir.

Thank you Eric for your beautiful music. Was honored to be part of Virtual Choir 5 💜
What a phenomenal achievement. I'm speechless. Hats off to Eric Whitacre and every man and woman who helped this come to be. This soundtrack is now one of my favorite things EVER.
Thank you so much for letting me be a part of this project! The finished product is amazing!

The Creation of the Universe:
Allah the Exalted said: Have not those who disbelieved seen that heaven and earth were one solid mass, whereupon We divided them and made all living things of water? Don't you want to believe? (Translation of Sura 21 Verse 30)
This verse explicitly mentions the common origin of the entire universe, a fact that was only discovered about forty years ago with the help of "nuclear physics". The separation mentioned in the verse seems to refer to what scientists today refer to as the "Big Bang." Also, as the verse also mentions, all living things are made up of protoplasm, which is 80 to 85 percent water.
Allah the Exalted said: Thereupon Allah turned to the sky which was (then) of (formless) smoke (or mist) and said to it and to the earth: "Come here, willingly or unwillingly!" They said: "We come voluntarily". So He (Allah) completed them as seven heavens in two times, and in each heaven He assigned its task. And We adorned the lowest heaven with lights (stars) (which are also) for protection. This is the creation of the Supreme, the All-Knowing. (Translation of Sura 41 Verse 11-12)
At the time the Qur'an was revealed, the word "space" was unknown and everything above the earth was called "heaven".
The word "smoke" aptly describes the primordial state of the universe, which consisted of hot, gaseous matter whose gaseous particles moved like clouds of smoke. From this matter the stars, the planets and the earth were formed.
Allah the Exalted said: We have created the sky (the universe) with (Our) power, and see how We are (constantly) expanding it! (Translation of Sura 51 Verse 48)
It is now a generally accepted fact that we live in an expanding universe.
Allah the Exalted said: Allah is the Creator of the heavens and the earth! When He decides something, He only says, "Be!" and it is. (Translation of Sura 2 Verse 117)
Allah only has to "Be!" speak to trigger an explosion (big bang).
Aside from that:
Black holes are characterized by three properties:
1. You are invisible
2. They pass at very high speed
3. They attract everything to themselves. It's like sweeping the sky
Black holes are called "giant cosmic sweepers or vacuum cleaners" in science.
Allah the Exalted said: “No! I swear by alkhunas (the unseen stars), algawar (the ones leading) Alkunas (the sweeping). (Translation of sura 81 verse 15-16)
Pulsars are rotating neutron stars.
Allah says in the Qur'an: By heaven and by the one who throbs (or knocks)! And what makes you know what the throbbing is? (It is) the piercing bright star. (Sura 86 verse 1-3)
"Tarek الطَّارِقُ" means the one who knocks. The Arabic word "Thukb ثقب" means a hole; "Thakeb ثَّاقِبُ" means the one who makes a hole. The Qur'an describes a knocking star making a hole.
Pulsars are rotating neutron stars (it rotates 30x per second!). As more matter falls into a neutron star, its mass increases, and as its mass increases, its gravity increases. But gravity is warping of space-time. A neutron star distorts space-time. The more matter falls into a neutron star, the more distortion it causes. A point is reached where the distortion would have grown so much that it caused a hole in space-time.
How could an illiterate (meaning Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him) who lived 1400 years ago know that pulsars bore holes in space-time? That can only have been inspired by God, the omniscient.
Supernova and Iron:
One of the most important consequences of supernova explosions is that heavy elements, including iron, are thrown into the interstellar medium.
Allah says in the Qur'an: And We sent down the iron. In it is strong power and benefit for the people. (Sura 57 verse 25)
The use of the word "sent down" is very interesting. A look at the modern astronomical books that deal with the formation of galaxies and stars will give us a better understanding of the "let down" translation.
Iron alloys were already used in ancient times, but only from meteorites, which often contain the alloy iron-nickel (Fe-Ni). Since meteorites were rarely found, items made of iron were correspondingly valuable. The Sumerians called it "heavenly metal", the Egyptians "black copper from heaven".
The iron is of a strange composition. The electrons and neutrons in its atom require four times the energy potential of our solar system to be brought together. In other words, our solar system does not have sufficient structure to produce iron. Where did the iron come from then, which is found in our earth?
The scientists explained this phenomenon by saying that the heavy metals in the Universe are produced in the cores of giant stars. When the iron count exceeds a certain limit, the star can no longer carry the iron and eventually explodes (this explosion is described as a "nova" or "supernova"). As a result of this explosion, meteorites containing iron are formed and scattered. They fly around the universe until they are attracted by a planet's gravitational pull. The same thing happened to the earth tens of thousands of years ago when meteorites penetrated deep into the earth's surface and which are now known as ferrous metal!
In summary, supernova explosions are violent deaths of massive stars. The course of these gigantic explosions and their far-reaching consequences are very interesting. They are the only source of iron and other heavy metals in our solar system. They show the mercy of God, because without them life on earth would not be possible. At the same time, they can be seen as an incredible demonstration of divine power. As the Holy Quran says at the end of the verse where iron is mentioned:
Surely Allah is the Mighty, the Glorious with irresistible power. (Sura 57 verse 25)

So in your way of foolish thinking, if a supernatural creator created the natural realm, then that supernatural creator who created the natural realm with its natural laws has then become also bound by those natural laws the supernatural creator created. So explain why a supernatural creator is also bound by the laws the supernatural creator created. Or, show how smart you are and just give your science for creation happening naturally and don't forget to give your science how the natural laws were created, too. If you want to act smart, it may be a good idea to actually show you are.

The last shot of the Earth vanishing into a pixel is perhaps the best way to explain our existence. We exist only to amuse ourselves, nobody or nothing cares if we exist or not. Our actions don't matter to the Universe. So why bother? why worry? Just enjoy this brief consciousness called life. Easier said than done though.
When I was a young child my Dad told me we live on a ball, and he bought a globe. He said this ball we are on floats, spinning, suspended in nothing. But it turns around the sun, which is also a ball, a ball of fire. Susan, he said, Space is infinite and unimaginable, and we are insignificant. I wish he was here to see this.

Other than on planet Earth, there exists no evidence of life anywhere else in the universe.
Current observation suggests the observable universe contains as many as 4 trillion galaxies with hundreds of trillions of worlds. If indeed we are alone, as the evidence, or lack of it suggests, would this not indicate that humanity and life on Earth is exceedingly and utterly special, significant and important?

In watching this, I am reminded of the fact; that as much as we think we know, there is so very, very, very much we don't know. We are babes in the vastness of space & time. To be arrogant enough to think we truly know, understand or even possibly could predict the size, age or end of it's existence even further proves our ignorance. Just looking at what we think we see, how could we ever imagine that Space is finite in any degree. It is truly a world without end. Its wonderful, magical and so very beautiful. Thank you.
A finely fashioned work of art surely necessitates an artist.The Maker of the world possesses infinite beauty and perfection.Since things exist and they are full of art, they surely have a Maker.

"We are the art of One Who can make this entire world of ours as easily and simply as He created us."
(The Twenty-Second Word)
In relation to His power, creation of the biggest is as easy as creation of the smallest. The small is as artistic as the large; indeed, artistically, some small creations are even greater than the large. The utmost high degree of artistry visible in every creation manifests that they are the tapestry-work of an infinitely wise, all-knowing Maker. Man passes from the work to the producer of the work and he sees that an All-Beauteous Maker wants to make himself known and acquainted through the miracles of His own art, and he responds with knowledge and belief.

thats what came to my mind after watching this video
Watching this makes me feel kinda melancholy because there must be some incredibly beautiful places in the universe and will never see them.
Perhaps you will incarnate there one day, who knows. It would be arrogant of humanity to think we know what happens after death, after seeing the immensity of the Universe. I think it's rather humbling.
Ask yourself this question. Why are you having the conscious experience as you, on this planet in this moment of time? Seems rather logical to me that you would at least be able to experience life multiple times in a Universe that is already in existence for Billions of years.
Your seeing more today that the rest of human existence has seen combined. Its truly unimaginable where we are.
But there are truly magnificent places that we can explore,venture together as humanity ..
You may not be able to see these things in your current incarnation but as spirit, there are no physical limits
I cannot even begin to express how astounding this video is, the poverty of language will simply fail to express its due praise. My most sincere gratitude to all involved that brought this utter masterpiece to life. I stand in awe of your accomplishment.
It's a masterpiece from every side that makes us ponder about our extremely tiny role in this vast space of unknowingness.
This is probably the most spectacular thing I have/will ever see/hear. Wow. So beautiful!
You should check out Timelapse of the Future
It's beautiful, is impressive how all the things in the universe can be complex. Nothing is simple, nothing. When you see to the space, you think, this is simple! But when you study you i'll see how this is complex. For example, our tiny brain, who can't hold any computer in calculation is actualy making so much calculations only for you see the commentary. That's amazing! our brain have more than 1 million terabytes of RAM!!!!! It isn't simple. For me is impossible to not see an God who make this.
Thank you so much Eric and the production team for creating such a stunning orchestral piece and working together with NASA and all of us virtual choristers to produce an incredible visual and aural experience! I also love the website with all the STEM and STEAM material and supporting content that is available to promote interest in these fields.
I too feel the awe and wonder of the universe in these astonishing images, and in Eric Whitacre's music, and I'm humbled by it. Here are some thoughts, though. We do not say an elephant is more significant than a human because it is physically bigger, nor that a mountain is more significant than the elephant because it also is vastly larger and older. In other words, size and age have nothing to do with significance or importance. So when we are awed by the immensity of the universe, as I am, it is a matter of emotion not reason. CS Lewis put it well: "We are inveterate poets....Instead of mere quantity, we have a quality - the sublime". As he says, the mind-boggling statistics of the universe "are mere arithmetic until the shadow of humanity, the poet, the maker of myth, falls upon them". The universe is awe-inspiring only because we are here to feel it, so that it really points to us, not away from us. Part of our importance is precisely that we so ckearly react to the cosmos the way we do.
The best space trip video I've found so far. Congratulations for bringing us some of the sense of magnitude of our universe. Thank you!

When I was a child, my concept of the universe was that of several galaxies. There were still books that looked at the solar system as the cosmos. Things beyond the Kuiper Belt were just too far away to matter. And then the Hubble Telescope was deployed. Suddenly the old framework we'd known was shattered and the universe became incomprehensibly huge. But there are still billions of human beings who can barely think beyond their backward little county line or the edges of their province. Myopia reigns.
My ego was smashed when I was 13 staring into the night sky. Infinity before my limited mind which was not ready to peer out the vast window of Earth. Such a clear glass it was that night. I dazed as my mind took flight. I felt I had fallen upward as if I were looking down from a mountain top. The infinity embraced me, lured me, dared me. I'll never forget that night. I miss that fright.
@@johnwirk You certainly "saw" what it's all about. I used to feel anxiety when I'd think about the enormity of it all. Stretching my mind beyond a comfort zone was not pleasant.

cells have it s walls, dimensions matters. Size doesn´t matter to existence. Defend your home , your body, your food matters as well. We come out from tiny cells.

BASIC science shows that a natural creation is not possible.
Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it.
We KNOW this. We have NO doubts of those laws. They are bulletproof. So well-established that anyone that doubts them are fools.
"We are an infinitely repeating node in the Universal fractal."
As you have no evidence for a natural creation you have no evidence for it infinitely repeating. It may make a great science fiction movie or story but has nothing to do with science.
"A never ending sea of the manifestation of all realities."
Sorry to burst your bubble but from your comments you should not be acting as if you care about reality.
" It either just is, and if it wasn't "just is" then there'd be no one to ask the questions."
God created the universe. It wasn't "just is" because that is impossible by science.
@@2fast2block I genuinely don't know what you mean by basic science and real science. Science is a method of trying to empirically reject a null hypothesis, little comes to be truly "known" in science.
If your faith has shown you the truth on the origin of the Universe then I respect that. You have used the word God as a human does, as a word. Can one differentiate from the Universe and God? What does God mean to you?
I struggle to see why you have condemned me for giving my take on the Universe's origins. I do not profess to be an authority or "know" anything. Just a considered position.
@@MagnaMagnanimous " I genuinely don't know what you mean by basic science"
The laws I stated you can read in about a minute to understand the implications of them. Very BASIC. Real science is where there is NO doubts about it.
"If your faith has shown you the truth on the origin of the Universe then I respect that."
First off, fools mouth off about biblical faith as if it's a blind faith. Biblically, faith means trust. It's a trust by evidence seen. God asks that we prove things. To reason. To get knowledge. To study. God has nothing to hide. We develop trust from what is seen, and that which is not seen yet is trusted also because of the trust built up from what is seen. It's much like a human relationship. We don't trust much until a person has gained that trust from what is observed. The difference is though, God is not limited to human powers. He created us.
Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
It's YOU, YOU, YOU who has blind faith in the stupid things you crap out of your dumb ass, " I think we got the Universe the way it is now because everything that is possible is also represented. We are an infinitely repeating node in the Universal fractal. A never ending sea of the manifestation of all realities."
When asked for proof, you fart out word fillers AGAIN.
"I struggle to see why you have condemned me for giving my take on the Universe's origins."
Gee, maybe it's because you gave no science for it and ALL the science proves your fairytale is NOT true. You are so stupid, you still "struggle" why.
" I do not profess to be an authority or "know" anything. Just a considered position."
You don't want to know anything. Look you handled creation alone. You don't give a damn about science. You love being lazy and acting as if your brain serves some purpose to the truth. You're a disgusting dumbass.

You are not in the universe, you are of it.
“you are the mystery you seek”
- Upanishad
It makes me feel infinitesimally small while also making me realize how incredibly important each and every one of us is. Why are we here? Are we alone? What will become of us? These questions first posed by the ancients are far far from ever being answered. The quest will continue until we are no more.
A finely fashioned work of art surely necessitates an artist.The Maker of the world possesses infinite beauty and perfection.Since things exist and they are full of art, they surely have a Maker.
(The Twenty-Sixth Word)
"We are the art of One Who can make this entire world of ours as easily and simply as He created us."
(The Twenty-Second Word)
In relation to His power, creation of the biggest is as easy as creation of the smallest. The small is as artistic as the large; indeed, artistically, some small creations are even greater than the large. The utmost high degree of artistry visible in every creation manifests that they are the tapestry-work of an infinitely wise, all-knowing Maker. Man passes from the work to the producer of the work and he sees that an All-Beauteous Maker wants to make himself known and acquainted through the miracles of His own art, and he responds with knowledge and belief.
(The Twenty-Third Word)
The Maker of this world has, then, most important, astounding and secret perfections. It is these He wishes to display by means of His miraculous arts.
(The Tenth Word)
Among beings there is no work which is not a most meaningful embodied word and does not cause to be read numerous of the Glorious Maker's Names.
(The Seventeenth Word)
There is not a plant or animal created before our eyes in the spring that through its wondrous art, its subtle adornment, its being distinguished from all other creatures, and through its order and balance, it makes you known.
